To increase your chances of working and travelling in harmony, head to our top five places to work and travel abroad, and just see how far you can go.

Australia

Oz is a gap year legend and has seen gappers come and go for years. Providing the perfect place for 18-30 year olds that getaway year abroad. With blazing weather, plenty of beer and gap year jobs galore, the land of string vests is a powerhouse work and travel destination.

New Zealand

Just a hop, skip and a bungee jump away is Australia’s adventurous cousin, New Zealand. The adventure capital of the world offers a huge variety of jobs, whether you’re working in an independent coffee shop or in a mountainous 5* ski resort, diversity is at the heart of NZ.

If you’re looking for a white-knuckle adventure abroad, then New Zealand is your bag. Buckle up, hold on tight and bring the action.

USA

You’ve probably heard of this country. It’s quite well known. It’s called America. And it rocks. You probably went to Disney World one time with your nan when you were eight, but baby, that was nothing but a taster off what’s on offer.

Whether you fancy a hospitality job in a resort, working as an au pair or even working at a traditional children’s summer camp, then a summer job in the States will get you paid and give you big travel opportunities. Don’t forget your I <3 NY t-shirt.

China

Still something of a mystery to most, China offers some high-impact cultural exchange to really tingle your senses. From chicken-feet dinner to police geese (yes, the police use geese instead of dogs) the People’s Republic of China will keep you bemused and entertained on a daily basis.

From teaching English to Au Pairing with a family, there are plenty of work and travel opportunities for you to have your memorable adventure abroad.

Vietnam

Being in Vietnam is like living your life in double speed. Its cities are like western cities, but they’ve pulled an all-nighter and binged on a 6-pack of Red Bull. The roads are so crazy that you’ll genuinely praise yourself for safely and successfully crossing the road.

If the city’s not your cup of fun, then not to worry, because the continent holds some of the best beaches, mountains and landscapes in the world. Either way, it makes an incredible place to work and travel abroad.
