"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." -Aristotle
There are some who thoroughly enjoy their work and there are others who cannot stand the idea of working a full-time job; to each their own I guess! Therefore, without further delay, in today's article, we shall explore the many options of working, volunteering, finding summer jobs, and being hired to teach abroad. Are you ready for your globetrotting tour?
Volunteering Abroad
- Formal: requires stable, long-term attendance from volunteers in a formal setting. May include jobs such as a hospital volunteer, tour guide, or fundraising operator.
- Government Based: working for a government-based volunteer organisation entails helping the entity to make choices that will profit the company. When selecting to be a volunteer for a government-based company, it is highly recommended to choose one that may lead to an employment position.
- Non-Formal: opposite of formal volunteering, non-formal volunteers, work in unstructured settings with no public funding and usually in a community setting.
- Social: social reason volunteers fight together for the same cause and create awareness and participate in advocacy. Social volunteerism is not structured and does not need to be done every single week rather, social volunteers are active during specific occasions that call for it.
- Project Volunteering: the most stressful and most structured, project-based volunteers must complete a specific deadline and usually particular skills are required.
Before selecting a volunteer programme, a specific category of volunteerism should be chosen to ensure that the search is effectively completed.

Work and Travel Abroad

What's not to like about a life of visiting exotic locations, networking with other like-minded individuals, and a flexible schedule?
Nevertheless, while many desire to work and travel abroad, finding out how it can be done is quite puzzling to some; how does one begin? Well, for starters, it's important to mention that becoming a digital nomad is the best way to enjoy the best life working and travelling. What is a digital nomad?
