    This is a fantastic list. Many organizations I’ve never heard of but look amazing! As a nurse, I’ve been thinking of taking a gap year after the pandemic and chillaxing exploring ways to use my skill set outside of the hospital.

    Thank you for this great video. Gap years aren’t really a thing in the US and are even highly discouraged, so I had no idea all the cheap ways to do it. My son is in high school and not sure what he wants to go to college for so I think a gap year is great.
    I will add that if a person does plan on traveling the US, they need to keep in mind that it’s super huge and there’s not the type of transportation setup that Europe has. I can’t imagine traveling without a car. Only cities like NYC, Seattle, New Orleans, and San Francisco have good public transportation. There’s a huge chunk of the country that isn’t even that impressive to visit and take days to drive through. I recently found out that in most other countries, people don’t spend days driving to 1 place.

    this is a great video. i agree that you dont NEED tonnes of money to work overseas however I definitely do recommend saving some money before you go. It's more responsible and safe to have a bit of a safety net, you don't wanna be broke the whole time.

    Teaching ESL is for sure a nice way to work abroad! It's the simplest option for getting into it. Sometimes when you're in the country for a while and learn the language, other opportunities can come up too.

      How well must you know the rules of English? Like must you have a degree in English studies or be a very good tutor? I would love to teach especially if I am trained on how to actually properly teach English. English is my first language and I am very fluent and have a for sure above average understanding and comprehension of it but I don’t know how to properly teach it.

    I believe in most courtiers when working for longer than three months you need a visa and for Australia you need £10,000 secured; Causes a big problem if you do not have savings.

    • @Joelfriend
      @Joelfriend  Před 3 lety +3

      I'm not sure about other countries but for Australia, you MAY be asked to provide evidence for adequate funds of AUD $5000 (£2700) and return flight.

    • @Joelfriend
      @Joelfriend  Před 3 lety +2

      If you wanted to get around this you could get a loan or borrow money from your parents for a short amount of time until you've got yourself a job in Australia. Obviously, it's not possible for everyone but could be a way around this. :)
