Gap year working holiday programs allow you spend a year abroad and get paid! Here are our top locations.
Australia. Ah, good old Oz! Can you think of a better country to travel for work and pleasure? The continent down under is off the chart when it comes to uber-cool cities, beaches, and Mad Max/out-of-this-world landscapes. Work overseas for your gap year in Sydney. Go to the office on weekdays and pound the waves at Bondi on the weekends. If you’re more of a culture vulture, head to Melbourne for lots of live music and awesome food. If you’re more about fun in the sun, head to Brisbane, the gateway to Australia’s Sunshine Coast.
New Zealand. You can easily get gap year jobs abroad (paid ones!) in Kiwiland! If you love the outdoors, New Zealand is pure paradise with lots of backpacking, camping, skiing, zorbing, glacier walking, and hiking to keep you busy! Channel your inner elf or hobbit and make your Middle Earth dream a reality. Learn about Maori culture and tuck into a sumptuous hangi feast in Rotorua. Go whale watching in Kaikoura and penguin spotting in Dunedin. Find jobs in agriculture, sales, retail, or hospitality in Auckland and Wellington on the North Island or in Queenstown, the adventure capital of the South Island.
