Spend a Season Working in a Summer Camp in Different Countries
Working with children can be one of the most rewording ways to spend some time abroad, earn some money and still do some cross-country traveling. So, if you love children and have some experience in certain sports or other useful skills, than the door to endless possibilities is always open. You can earn $1.000-5000 for a few months of fun and still fund your dream vacation. This experience alone can look great on your resumé and if you play it right, you can work in different states or countries to make things more interesting and broaden your horizons.
Signing Up for the Peace Corps
If you happen to be an American citizen with 27 months to spare and have a strong desire to make a difference in this world than joining the Peace Corps can be a life-changing experience. The whole idea behind this program is working with local residents on all kind of different projects in order to promote better understanding between nations and peace. In order to apply you`ll have to be qualified and posses certain skills in education, agriculture, health, environment, business development, technology communications.
Having a bachelor’s degree can go a long way. There is no upper age to be a volunteer, in fact more than 5% are over the age of 50.
