Traveling for Fun and Profit!

If you can't afford a luxury holiday, why not try working abroad? There are many different ways you can get a job in a foreign country for a short period of time (or longer, if you prefer!). Not only do you get to see the country for free, you get a much more detailed insight into the people and culture than you would as a tourist.

Some ways to see the world:


1. Teach Abroad

There are many places in need of foreign teachers, especially teachers of the English language. In many situations, you don't need any formalized teaching training, although some places prefer you hold a university degree of some type. Just about any Asian country has many opportunities to teach English.

2. Volunteer

There are also many opportunities to volunteer abroad. Churches and humanitarian organizations are always looking for help both at home and overseas. You can get the dual benefits of helping others and inexpensive travel (there will likely be some cost involved).

3. Professional Exchanges

If your company has an overseas branch, or even close overseas partners, you may be able to arrange an exchange program. This lets you experience another country while advancing your understanding of your profession and company!

Whatever you decide, working holidays can be great opportunities to grow personally, enrich your understanding of a people or culture, and have a great experience.
