The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

by: Sophie Laplane - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

A Guide to Camp Counselor Jobs Abroad

Why Work Abroad as a Camp Counselor

In the summer months in between classes, or even after you have graduated from university and aren’t yet ready to settle into a full time position, spending time abroad leading trips or day activities with children or young adults can be a perfect opportunity. Fortunately, camps are almost always hiring (so opportunities go beyond summer camp jobs), because of the seasonal nature of their work, so it will not be difficult to secure a camp counselor job abroad that interests you in nearly any nation that appeals to you.

As seasonal work, working as a camp counselor abroad offers incredible flexibility, with the chance to travel to a destination for a few months and have a paying job while you’re there. Trip leader or camp counselor jobs abroad will allow you to not only travel while still earning money, you’ll also be able to make a difference in the lives of young people around the world and improve your leadership skills at the same time. Though seasonal work can be stressful because of the rapid movement, many find it invigorating and enjoy the months off between seasons where they can travel on their own.

If you haven’t yet decided on a career path, or are interested in teaching in the future, experience working as a camp counselor abroad can be a wonderful addition to your resume, illustrating to future employees your passion for travel, youth education, and a variety of other activities, such as outdoor education or foreign languages.
