<h1>What is a working holiday?</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered how to work overseas, then a working holiday is the perfect answer. A working holiday is a cultural exchange concept which allows you to work abroad on a special, government-issued &lsquo;working holiday visa&rsquo;. You&rsquo;ll earn a local income to fund your travels and have the freedom to explore the country for longer than the average tourist. It&rsquo;s the perfect opportunity to travel, live like a local and immerse yourself in a different culture. You&rsquo;ll learn another language, discover unique traditions, make new friends and create a never-ending bank of incredible moments on this life-changing experience. Embark on a journey of self-discovery and gain international work experience that will look great on your resum&eacute;/CV on a working holiday.</p>

<h1>What is volunteering?</h1><p>Volunteering overseas gives you the unique opportunity to experience local cultures first-hand and make a real difference in critical projects and causes internationally, from Africa and Asia, Central and South America to Europe and the South Pacific. Volunteering abroad is generally an all-inclusive voluntourism experience where you’ll play a vital role in creating sustainable and positive change to humanitarian projects, local communities, animal rehabilitation or rescue centres, the natural environment, or at vetted organisations and genuine charitable causes around the world. Plus, you’ll have the chance to experience local activities, excursions and day trips in your time off. See the real world off the beaten tourist path, make new friends, learn new skills and embark on a journey of self-discovery. You’ll return home feeling rewarded and proud of the lasting impact you have made.</p>

<h1>What is an au pair?</h1><p>An au pair is usually a young person, either female or male, who provides live-in care to the children of a welcoming host family overseas as part of a cultural exchange. You’ll be generously provided with a weekly stipend, your own room in the family home and, typically, two to three meals per day. You may even get the chance to join the family on ski and summer vacations. Being an au pair or nanny abroad gives you the freedom to be more than the average tourist by immersing yourself in a completely new culture and developing valuable life skills. You’ll experience personal growth and maturity, and perhaps learn a new language all whilst having the chance to explore a new country. It’s the perfect opportunity to become a cherished part of a family’s life for years to come, while also getting a genuine sense of what life is like overseas</p>

<h1>What is teaching?</h1><p>Learn how to teach English overseas and experience the unique opportunity to travel the world, discover new cultures and connect with a new community. Through helping others learn a valuable skill, you’ll be earning a local living to fund your travels further. Our Teach trips give you the chance to take part in a 3-4 week class-based TEFL or TESOL course where you’ll learn how to teach English to foreign students. You’ll be provided with accommodation, transfers and cultural activities and excursions throughout your course. Upon completion, you’ll be awarded an internationally-recognised accreditation which will give you the freedom to teach and travel all over the world or land a local teaching placement. If you’ve ever wondered how to get a job teaching English abroad, wonder no more. This is your chance to take a break from your routine back home, challenge yourself in an exciting way and, most importantly, return home feeling proud of the positive impact you’ve made on someone’s education.</p>

<h1>What is an internship?</h1><p>An internship abroad is the perfect chance to get hands-on experience whilst exploring a different part of the world. Being an intern overseas opens up more doors, gives you a massive headstart in your career and provides you with the opportunity to gain international work experience in your chosen field of study. You’ll have an international reference, worldwide connections and a huge competitive advantage over your peers who haven’t interned abroad. Immerse yourself in a whole new culture, enjoy travelling in your time off and create incredible moments as you learn valuable skills and tick off many professional goals that will be a great addition to your resumé/CV.</p>

<h1>What is a Tutor?</h1><p>An international English tutor provides private, live-in mentoring to children of a welcoming host family to help them succeed academically. As an English tutor abroad, your duties vary depending on your destination. In English speaking countries you will be assisting with homework in just about any subject and in non-English speaking countries you'll help the kids learn English whilst taking part in your own cultural exchange! You will be living with your host family in your own private room, be provided with meals plus earn a weekly stipend in most destinations to fund your travels. That paired with only 15-30 hours of tutoring per week means you’ll have plenty of free time and money to completely explore your destination, learn the language and immerse yourself in a new culture.</p>

<h1>What is studying abroad?</h1><p>There’s a big difference between learning a skill from just anyone, and learning it from the masters. In your Study trip, you’ll be doing exactly that. Set off to another country to learn invaluable skills from people where that skill is a part of their culture. Our Study trips will take care of accommodation as well as set up lessons in your desired skill from experts. But Study trips aren’t just your lessons. You’ll be able to throw yourself into the cultures and traditions of your destination, gaining a hugely authentic experience in the process. Gain an amazing life skill, with an even more amazing story to go with it. </p>
