Need your 'international' advice ;)

you might want to take a look at http://www.travelactive.nl/

Not sure about the programs they have to offer, but I know there are various programs for working abroad. I went with this orginasation to Australia and New Zealand, but that was more sort of an active holiday in the end, although I had my working visa for Australia in my passport (I only worked for 3 weeks in total I guess). But it's basicly what you want to do with that visa yourself anyway. In Australia you can only stay for 3 months max with a tourist visa, so that's basicly why I got my working visa.

Anyway... this orginasation is quite alright, it doesn't offer just trips to Australia and New Zealand, but to many other places as well, all over the world. There might be something useful for you there. If you can't find the right program for you over there, they might be able to help you anyway if you tell them what you're looking for! It's a Dutch orginasation but I bet they're willing to help Belgian ppl as well . Good luck, I hope it works out for you, working abroad is the best thing someone can do for some life experience!

don't have any websites for you, but want to chip in my two cents.

Living and working abroad is, in my view, the most important thing you can do in your life. It'll change your perspectives and will make you much more "prepared" for life itself.

I did internships in Corsica and Austria (being German, the Austrian doesn't really count as "foreign" lol). I'll never regret it.

You really are shaping your future - in a very positive way.

Good luck.

goo just enjoy thw world....i"m planning to go to sydney in 2004...most probabaly after july or august

camp america? is it that kind of thing? Apparently they are normally mucho funo..personally Id love to go to FATCAMP and help out...teehehe

Thanx all (Biiiig hug !!!!!!!!!!) ... I'll check out all your advices !!!

It's true ... I think it's a great thing to do to get live-experience ... As some of you know, I study to become a teacher for kids and next year (in my last year) we get the change to practice it for 3 months outside belgium. Now, a lot go to the Netherlands, france, spain ... I personally would love (if I get the chance) to go to Zambia ... They did that the year before ... Think it's great to teach kids in Africa and see how they are living ... I guess I could perhaps make a difference and talking about life-experience ... I guess I could find it there !!

I already checked it a bit out ...
Sara, your organisation seems very wide ... Unfortunetely the timing of the US summercamps is bad

The search goes on !

aw that sucks sorry to hear that!

I'm sure there must be one organisation or whatever that can offer you what you're looking for!
