Let's Go Europe 2011: The Student Travel Guide

SHORT-TERM WORK
Different countries have different kinds of odd jobs that can last a week, a month, or anything in between. One popular option is to work several hours a day at a hostel in exchange for free or discounted room and/or board. In some countries, though, this is illegal (“My bad, officer”), so double-check first. Most often, these short-term jobs are found by word of mouth or by expressing interest to the owner of a hostel or restaurant. Due to high turnover in the tourism industry, many places are eager for help, even if it is only temporary. Let’s Go lists temporary jobs of this nature whenever possible as listings in our coverage of individual cities. In the meantime, some websites to try include www.easyexpat.com, www.backdoorjobs.com, www.resortjobs.com, and/or www.seasonworkers.com.

If your friends are tired of hearing about that time you saved a baby orangutan in Indonesia, there’s clearly only one thing to do: get new friends. Find them at our website, www.letsgo.com, where you can post your study-, volunteer-, or work-abroad stories for other, more appreciative community members to read. There’s also a Beyond Tourism section that elaborates on non-destination-specific volunteering, studying, and working opportunities. If you liked this chapter, you’ll love it; if you didn’t like this chapter, maybe you’ll find the website’s more general Beyond Tourism tips more likeable, you non-likey person.
