TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY

One of the most difficult things young people face when they want to
travel is the lack of funds. During the summer holiday and possibly at weekeds,
they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money make is just a drop in the
bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, travelling to Australia
from Vietnam can be quite expensive just foe an airline ticket, and to a lot of
students want to travel, it can seem out of reach.

For students want to travel Australia and New Zealand in particular,

however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays,
these two countries are well-known for offering them. When a young person
signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to
get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once
he is there, a job awaists where he can earn some money.
 Many of the jobs require little or no experience such as picking fruit or
working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more
experience that most people or unlikely to have, such as being certified welder to
work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though, there is
always something to be found if you search hard enough.

There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Autralia and
New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little
money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for.
