Australia

About 

A working-traveler's mecca, Australia makes the temporary visa process super easy and allows you to stay and work for up to a year (more info below).  Beaches, outback, cities, the Great Barrier reef - this country/continent covers a lot of ground so you'll need a year to see a fraction of it.   There's a ton of information on The Internets regarding the working-holiday program so this post will be brief. 

Location 

Australia.  It's a continent so if you don't know where it is I'd highly recommend paying more attention in school.  

Language 

English all the way.  

Best For

Any international couples UNDER THE AGE OF 30 from Belgium, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, the USA and Uruguay.

Visa Information

Applicants must apply ahead for the working holiday visa online.  When I applied I heard back within 24 hours, and then you have three months to enter the country so you better be ready.  Proof of at least $5,000 is necessary to enter to the country but sometimes goes unchecked.  Once you have the visa you are allowed to work anywhere ('casually') for up to six months per employer.  The visa lasts one year.  

The Moneys 

No tips, but average baristas make $17 Australian per hour so that's not bad.  

Jobs Available

Restaurants, cafes, dive masters, tour guides, hostel/hotel/resort help, childcare providers, fruit pickers, etc.  Just show up and ask around.

In Summary  

I changed my plans after I got the visa and if you don't enter the country within three months you lose your chance forever, plus the other half is over 30, but it's a GREAT option if you and your beau and looking for a place to work and travel for a year while making some decent money.
