Working abroad is a great way to travel. At Contiki, we love nothing more than getting to know a new culture or environment. There are lots of ways to work and travel abroad on your gap year, career break or sabbatical.
Why work abroad?
Jobs abroad will vary depending on where in the world you go from working in a café to working on a farm, or you may want to volunteer. You might even be able to work remotely or freelance which you can do from anywhere in the world. Whatever you choose to do, working or volunteering in a different culture and environment is always exciting. Work abroad programs allow you to experience a country as a local, not just seeing the tourist sites. The great thing about working abroad is you can earn money to fund your travels, making your trip last even longer. Working abroad also looks great on your CV. It's the perfect way to spend a gap year.
