This way you can get to know rural Australia, earn money and enjoy the impressive natural surroundings at the same time.

In New Zealand, you could start your trip in Rotorua, where you work in the tourism industry and explore the fascinating geothermal areas. You could continue to Queenstown to experience outdoor adventures such as bungee jumping or hiking before exploring the South Coast with its spectacular landscapes.

Visa, insurance plans and important requirements

You need a Working Holiday Visa for Australia and New Zealand (Holiday Maker). This allows you to work and travel in each country for up to 12 months. Please note that you must meet certain requirements depending on the country, such as a minimum age and proof of sufficient financial resources.

In addition to the visa, you should definitely take out suitable travel insurance.
