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 Library & Information Science Jobs Abroad

Popular Locations for Library Information Sciences Jobs Abroad

Now that we’ve broadened the list of opportunities, let’s check out some popular locations that might spark your interest. If you’re worried about strong cultural differences, do a quick research on the subject and pick a country whose culture attracts you more. Any English-speaking country is always a great choice, like the United Kingdom or Australia, but what about the countries whose first language isn’t English? Oh, don’t scratch them off the list yet! 

China offers quite a wide range of librarian job opportunities in cities like Beijing or Shanghai, as an elementary or high school librarian at local schools—or why not head librarian at a private international school? And although most jobs don’t require it, some basic Chinese language skills will definitely set you apart from the crowd. 

Italy. A modern flourishing country, with beautiful historical architecture, breathtaking art and fashion, Italy houses the most English-language libraries in cities like Rome and Florence. The Harold Acton Library in Florence is actually the largest English-language library in continental Europe, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy the weekly meetups on Wednesdays; we hear they are a lot of fun!

Germany. The number of international schools in Germany has increased in the past couple of years (thus increasing the demand for English-speaking librarians) in cities like Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, or Rammstein. If you’re a person passionate about world history, this is the perfect destination for your curious mind, with free access to rare historical editions. Also, check out the Department of Defense schools around army bases, where community libraries are always hiring.
