Get paid to courier parcels. (No, not a drug mule). You may decline a job, must be available in 48 hours, you extend your stay to visit at the destination at your own cost however the courier fee for your trip may cover some of your costs.

Visit Faroe Islands when it’s closed for tourists. Three day maintenance trip in exchange for food and board. A fun active way to see Faroe Islands. Volunteering looks great!

Many, many years ago I investigated this (for documents as well). It wasn’t as cheap as it is suggested, basically you still paid most of the air fare yourself and because there were deadlines to be met it was not necessarily a fun way to travel especially at (mainly) your own expense.
If you were desperate and any savings were a help then it was probably OK but it wasn’t enough to make you want to be a courier otherwise. It was extremely difficult to get as a full time job.
