Working/Living/Studying abroad

[Benjamin]

Anybody done this before or planning to do it? If so where have you been/do you plan to go?

[LukeB]

I really want to work in Amercia or Canada so i'm going to try and do it

[LemonJam]

I've considered it but I have no idea where to even begin. :shrug: Would love to do Australia.

Oz is one of the easiest to do. All you need to do is get the Working Holiday Visa (£330), book a one way flight (around £500/600) and go with £2500 in your bank. Finding work there is so easy to do if you just hand out CV's, especially in places like Melbourne and Sydney.

If you after more of a cultural city then Melbourne is the best choice. :lovedup:

Thinking of doing a ski season next winter in Europe while I delay having to make any meaningful decisions about what to do with my life

I worked in a hostel on a tiny island in oz for 6 months

after a while the constant wolf spiders, cockroaches, pythons and ants get the better of you

Mind you the frogs, koalas and possums were great

I worked as an aupair in Boston for 4 months when I was 18. And I worked in London for a couple of years when I was 19

I worked in America for 14 months in South Carolina and then came home, got a job, the family I worked for sacked the girl who took over from me so I went quit my job and went back for another 8 weeks. Loved it....

We have a house in the southern French Alps as well as the UK and I normally work the winter months in a ski resort. My husband can work from just about anywhere in the world so we aren't tied down. We both love skiing, snowboarding and ice climbing but I broke my neck in a climbing accident last year so giving this year a break :(

The one thing I would say about working in the Italian or French Alps is, learn the language unless you're only planning on sticking around the British tourists. Language allows you to get away from it all and mix with the locals and it also opens more doors for you in better resorts that aren't on the UK listings.

My husband used to work in New York and loved it. Unfortunately there are no mountains in NY so I'm happy to stick with what we already have.

Omg, you broke your neck? Are you okay now?

I would have preferred SPOILER in the title of your post

Depending on how old you are, apply to the Australian Embassy for a work visa. You can probably do this online.
If you are a student you can apply to the swap programme that many countries run. Good luck.

Yes I'm fine now thanks. it just takes time and a lot of patience.

Oh good, that must have been painful.

Except the Catskills of course, with all its ski resorts.

I've lived and worked in the US, Denver, Chicago and a couple of times in New York City. I've also worked in southern Italy and Israel.

Lived in Essen, Germany for a year working as an English classroom assistant. It reaffirmed my burning hatred for children and I hated 90% of the people I encountered in my time abroad but it was still a brilliant experience.

I had the opportunity to study abroad in like 8 places around the world for one semester (like a few months) for free, completely free, next year. But I decided against it. I probably should have done it, but idk, I just didn't want to.

Lived and worked in New Zealand for a bit. Was okay but it felt like I was living 10 years in the past and whilst scenic there was next to no culture. A weird mix of English and American lifestyles
