Work to fund your travels abroad
A Working Holiday Visa gives you the ultimate freedom. It is a residence permit that allows you to stay in a country for 12 months (or up to 24-36 in some cases) and work any job to support yourself. There is no set schedule. You can work for 3 months on a farm, travel for 2 months in a van, and then work for 4 months in a city café.
Australia: Farm work (fruit picking), barista, construction, mining, sales.
