A Guide to Parks and Recreation Jobs Abroad
Why Work Abroad in Parks & Recreation?
National parks are some of the best ways to experience the natural diversity of a new country. Even as civilizations progress, mankind has learned to adapt to parts of nature— which in turn influenced the culture of the region. With a job abroad in parks and recreation, you’ll gain insight on the development of people and culture (along with some fire selfies with squirrels)!
Staffing in public parks is kept in a relatively small range, so you’ll be able to form super tight bonds with your co-workers (maybe even find the Andy to your April along the way?). Despite playing different roles, at the end of the day you and your team are all working towards the same goal of preserving nature. If you’re in a country that speaks a different language, the full immersion of a parks & recreation job abroad will hone your skills in no time.
Another perk of being an international worker in a field that caters specifically to visitors is the ability to understand different perspectives. By living abroad, you will be put right in the worn shoes of travelers themselves— thus allowing you to provide a better experience by anticipating their needs.
