Where to work in Europe as a backpacker?

Question

I am an 18m, Aussie. I don't have any work experience or qualifications. I want to go over to Europe as a backpacker so i can travel and work. I don't know where to start or where to go to. .. Help me out please.

Maybe some places that hire travellers would be good.

I am not sure If I should work in australia for a bit first, for a couple of months or a year, on a farm or something.

If you live in europe and would let me stay with you for a week so I could find work that would be handy. Just email [e-mail]

If you got same idea and want buddy email me too.

Answer 1

Hello,

Have you thought about being an English teacher - there is a demand in Germany for them - and I could give you some contact numbers if you wish to come here.

You will need a visa though - unless you have an European passport.

The work is freelance - so there is no big commitment on time or contract!

Plus the money is not so bad!

Answer 2

You might get work at hostels letting you stay for free while you in return are working several hours per week for them. During vacations many tourist places may be in need for some unskilled workers for several weeks.

Fruit picking may be an option - e.g. in vineyards in autumn, asparagus in late spring, etc.

Rather than using a search engine like monster.com I'd ask around in the town you will be and have a look at local newspapers. Short time contracts and / or part time vacancies are not very likely being offered nationwide.
