Why choose a Working Holiday?
Travel for longer. Spend less. Live like a local.
A Working Holiday is more than just a trip - it’s your chance to experience another country from the inside, not just through a camera lens.
Instead of squeezing everything into two weeks, you’ll have the freedom to spend months, or even years, living abroad.
Earn a local income to help fund your travels, discover places most tourists never see, and experience the everyday culture that makes each destination unique.
Whether you’re working in a ski resort in Canada, a beach town in Australia or a countryside pub in the UK, you’ll build confidence, independence and lifelong friendships while creating memories that simply aren’t possible on a traditional holiday.
Along the way, you’ll develop valuable life and work experience, immerse yourself in a new culture and return home with incredible stories, a stronger CV/resume and a fresh perspective on the world.
It’s not just another holiday. It’s one of the most rewarding adventures you’ll ever have.

How does a working holiday work?
A working holiday allows you to travel to another country and work to support your stay. You’ll typically need to apply for a working holiday visa, which gives you the legal right to work for a set period (usually 12-24 months). Once in the country, you can start looking for a job—many travellers find work in hospitality, retail, or agriculture. You can earn money to fund your travels while experiencing life in a different culture.
Do I need a working holiday visa?
Yes, most countries require a working holiday visa for you to legally work while travelling. These visas are usually available to young travellers (typically aged 18-30 or 18-35, depending on the country) from eligible countries. The visa allows you to work for a specified period, often between one and two years. Be sure to check the visa requirements for the country you’re planning to visit.
