Carolyn Plemmons, 27, and Bryan Harris, 28, ditched their corporate jobs for a free-spirited life of travel - in more than one sense.

The couple, who met through mutual friends in Virginia Beach, Virginia, five years ago, travels for free by volunteering in countries around the world in exchange for room and board.

From landscaping to cooking, they're learning about different cultures, befriending locals, and picking up new skills with good, old-fashioned elbow grease.
