Answer 1

Get the book     Work your way around the world.  First thing ensure that any jabs are done in plenty time b4 you go and if you go to Brazil you will need Yellow Fever as well and they can refuse entry if you have not had in plenty of time. Do your research. Dont let anyone pack your bag and dont listen to lame excuses about posting something back home because the post is quicker and its Aunty's 90 birthday etc etc........!!  Be aware of cultural sensitivites too, dress codes which could be simple head gear or bearing too much flesh in

Morocco say can all be seen as insulting their culture, some bars still wont serve females or they have to drink outside.  Not trying to frighten you just keep yourself alert/aware and safe.  Get those jabs

Answer 2

come to london

Answer 3

try contacting a few orphanages around the world but remember a number of country's you may need a visa and can take a time to get so check that out first and make sure you have more than 6 mths on your passport as some country's won't let you in otherwise no matter how good you intentions. You'll find the orphanages etc. on the web. IE.Mother Teresa in panajim in India. Or you may like to try water aid. there are so many but good luck in which ever you choose.

Answer 4

I have heard of a few people that go to Greece during the summer months as a holiday rep for a few months, that should be really interesting.

You could try to aupair if that is your sort of thing? Cruiseliners could work as well.

Answer 5

Try Cyprus - Ayai Napa has loads of bars that employ Brits from May-October!

Answer 6

I used to live in Tenerife (four and a half years!) Its really easy to find work there and the weather is lovely all year round and the people are fab too.

You will not be given a job before you go though because clubs and bars always require immediate start.

The best thing to do is book a holiday and then go looking for work when you're out there (that way IF you don't find anything you can always go home at the end of your holiday lol).

If you want to see what sort of jobs are going at the moment try

www.tenerife-uncovered.com

(look on the message board and the jobs page)

www.oasisfm.com

They have a good jobs page.

Or you could try the repping route (really hard work tho!)

Good luck! Hth :)
