How To Travel and Work Overseas

Who hasn’t dreamed of leaving their ho-hum existence behind to go adventuring in another country, working, playing and sightseeing for months at a time, immersed in another culture. Student exchange employment programs have sprouted up all across the globe, offering anyone over 18 (and enrolled in a college or university program) the opportunity to work for 3 to 6 months in another country. And now the Boomer generation wants to get into the act! Forever young and adventurous, recent retirees are hankering to make extended visits to other countries, rent an apartment, and perhaps pick up some work or volunteer assignments.

So how to begin, where to start gathering resources for this grand adventure? Meet Transitions Abroad, the web’s premier site for “Learning, Living and Working Overseas”. Transitions Abroad is an encyclopedia of information on international internships and jobs, au pair opportunities, summer jobs abroad, travel service jobs, teaching English programs and a broad range of volunteer opportunities.

And if that’s not enough, they also have directories of information on traveling abroad, living overseas and finding study programs. It’s quite a site – one of my favorites for great indepth travel information!
