Work & Travel
Work & Travel is a kind of traveling specially for young adults. Its purpose is to learn about other countries, the culture and language. The visa (working holiday visa) allows the traveler to work for any employer they wish for. The Visa is easy to have approved for People who are between 18-30 years old.

The typical job would be a as a barista, fruit picking or working in a hotel as a room boy /girl. There is also the possibility to work for food and lodging (WOOF).

Organisation  

Basically there are two kinds of ways to approach a work & travel stay.

There are Companies that specialized on organizing such a stay. Depending on the different packages you can buy, the company helps you to register for the visa, books the flights and offers workshops in the work & travel country.

The other way is to organize the year overseas on your own and save the money you would pay for a Company to do that.

The Working Holiday Visa is a good alternative to the typical au-pair year where you are mostly limited to one Location.
