Nowadays people who do not like spending money are looking for other ways to find services. The exchange of goods or services instead of paying for them is a possibility. You can do this through a website, for example as www.loquo.com (which has a Girona section).
There are a lot of different services to exchange, for example guitar lessons, english lessons, massages, information technology etc. You can offer to give english lessons and somebody can walk your dog. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be difficult.
Another way to do this is by using a time bank.
When you join, like with any new bank account, you will receive a chequebook. This is used to denote services, the person who received it must write out a cheque stating the time taken for the task.
I think that this new activity is very good, because people can receive help from another person and the other person can receive help from them.
Also, I agree because you don't have to pay and I think there are more people who want to use these services.
