What is work and travel, exactly?
Work and travel means combining a job with a trip. You fund your route with casual or part-time work, move flexibly from place to place, or stay longer somewhere you love to get to know the culture and the people.
Which countries allow it?
Within Europe you need no extra visa. Many Asian and other non-European countries require a working holiday visa, while the USA needs a different visa altogether. Popular destinations are Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada.
How long does planning take?
Work and travel often runs 3 to 12 months, sometimes 24. Start preparing 4–6 months ahead: sort out visas, check cultural and traffic rules, apply for an international driving licence if needed and check your credit card. shourney keeps every task in view.
