trip or stay away for longer by working overseas; combining first hand posts and photos from our own travels our cruise ships we are just a couple of backpackers: deirdre higgins, a veteran of the working week in france, belgium, peru, britain and ireland, and shane donovan who has successfully evaded a real job since leaving school. we have taken a number of extended trips ourselves, including travelling the world for a year, and have lived in peru, greece, thailand and, since 2007, in turkey jobs in australia, france and china while we have been in, among other places, bolivia, lebanon or malaysia. highlights from our travels include getting bitten by a (small) lion in thailand, standing on a baby in peru (it was dark and, seriously, why put your baby on the floor by the bus door?), and almost falling off a cliff in indonesia. we pat every dog we see, even the scabby ones. instead of saving a small fortune at home to finance your journey why not just pack a bag and go now? around the world there are numerous ways to fund a trip by picking up work as you go. the working traveller is just one part of an inter-related group of travel websites intent on encouraging people to travel for longer. through our sites we provide suggestions for taking a gap year or career finding temporary and seasonal work abroad. some of these jobs are wonderful rewarding experiences in themselves. some are crap. some are paid, some are not. but what they all have in common is keeping you in barcelona, bali or buenos aires for longer. though competition for some of the plum jobs out there can be intense, we don’t deal in highly paid skilled positions requiring lots of qualifications and experience, but with short and medium term jobs most of us can do, or learn to do.. that’s quite enough blowing our own trumpet. for balance here are some reasons why you should not read our blog: get in touch with your inner jerk: keeping and losing your cool on your travels as long as we brits stay sober our reputation is one of politeness, queuing and mumbling apologies when people bump into us. conforming
