Working Holiday Visa In Australia Opens to US Citizens

For those Americans that are interested in spending some time Down Under, but don’t have the money to do it; well Australia’s working holiday visa program may just be your ticket to the fun and sun of the Land of Oz:

Australia recently opened up their working holiday visa program to U.S. citizens, which means young folk (18-30) can head Down Under, get a job and stay awhile. Forget stuffing envelopes or waiting tables back at home. If you are going to have a bad job, it may as well be overseas, right?

Especially for those who are trying to avoid being yet another causality to the poor economy, these working holiday visas could be the perfect way to sweat out the economic crisis and get in some traveling while you are at it.

With plenty of good paying jobs (mostly on farms or in the service/tourism industry), there are a ton of great opportunities for those looking to pick up some work to fund their adventures as they travel. In fact, with fruit picking jobs and the like offering nearly $17/hour, with just a few months of work with few living expenses could fund several more months of gallivanting around the islands off the Queensland coast, hoping over to New Zealand and getting into trouble all around Oz.  [BootsNall Travel]
