hm, i had a blast in Georgetown alone.
There is a lot of great food and plenty of history and culture to explore. So find someone on couchsurfing or at a hostel to spend some time with. 1 week at the most though, gets boring after a while, like most places.

go check out the national park on the northwest corner of the island. Good swimming and the little fishing village beside it has some really good eats. Arrange a boat from there to Langkawi or up to Ko Lipe if you get bored.

You should go to Viña del Mar, it's 2 hours by car from Santiago and has so.e of the best fireworks in Chile on new year.

Hey
1) I was a portuguese speaker only and did quite weel in Santiago and Viña del Mar, so shitty spanish may go well.
3) I fyou are going in summer definitely would go to Vinã del Mar, Santiago is a big city wiht not much things to see.
4) I went to Buenos Aires too, and i found it better, there was more things to do, cheaper, and you can go to Montevideo for a day trip,
Santiago is nice, cool city, but is far from amazing. After 3 days you probably will be bored

Thank you guys, my coworker is from Uruguay, maybe I will ask him about staying in Buenos Aires and visiting Montevideo.

Cheers!

No there isn't any, better visit Slovenia.

I've been in Dalmatia a dozen times, there's always an arcade somewhere in the coastal towns, but only during the summer. It usually costs what's an equivalent to half a euro per token. 3 for the price of 1 euro equivalent is also accepted. But I tell you right now, most of them are usually old SEGA arcade systems sent on a bargain from Germany or something. Just watch it when you're choosing, some of them are a bit defective without proper guidance.

In NZ & Australia jobs are categorised by being casual, permanent, or contract.

The hours are classified as full time or part time. Most people on working holidays in either country can expect to get part time casual hours = higher pay rates but no benefits ie sick leave or holiday pay. Permanent jobs require the employer to provide for sick/long service/maternity/bereavement etc leave as well as paid vacation, plus they have to contribute to the superannuation/pension fund.

Be aware though, NZ is flooded with unskilled labour from the Pacific Islands, as well as there being a shit ton of Indians & Asian immigrants who perform most of the menial or low paid tasks, so unless you've got a degree or experience in a particular industry it will be tough competition. The immigration website for NZ will have all the info you need.

Awesome, super helpful.
Do you (or anyone) know if the visa starts when I receive it or when I actually enter the country. .

DON'T tell NZ immigration that your partner has a permanent job. They'll get suspicious about whether you'll be tempted to overstay your visa.
As far as they're concerned, you're there to make money and have fun.

General question inspired by OP's question.

If you know you are going to need a visa, is there ever any real reason not to go ahead and get it before you start traveling, assuming you have time for that option?

If you are not sure you'll be going to Copuntry X, then yeah, but in cases where you know what your plan is...

>>1283007
Well I would like to get it before I start buying my plain tickets. This trip isn't until January.

>>1282882
If you want cold, tough. Move to Russia.

If your from the land of burgers, move to Mexico or anywhere in South America.

I say Mexico because I'm familiar with it. It's a great place to live with a very low cost of living and comparatively high infrastructure (internet etc). You can probably find yourself a one bedroom for $300 usd. Food is amazing, and if you want to buy shit there are literally tons of open air markets where you can buy ingredients for pennies.
Taxes? What's that? If you don't what nightlife but still want to fuck, there is beyond easy access to cheap prostitutes (~$60/hr)
Medical care is given to all legal residents. Its pretty ez to live in Mexico.

I'm at a similar point - only many years later in life.

Can't stand this cess pit of NYC that I've been in the last 20 years. The US is just on a road to nowhere.

Been thinking about Mexico or Spain.

Would love to live in Japan - but don't know how I'd get any work :)

Nuremberg subway ticket?

I couldn't understand anything there, I just walked into the train without a ticket.

>>1282847
native speaker?

>>1282861

That can work yeah. I spent 2 weeks there and didn't get checked for a ticket once.

>>1282874

Native English yeh, barely any German though... In the process of Deutsch though.

I miss Oglaf being funny.

Where are you from ?
The most painful part of this kind of travel is all the visa administrative trouble. I've never tried it myself but when I was WWOOFing I met this German guy who was doing this (in Russia) and he told me that it was hard to get visas for foreign countries when you are yourself in a foreign country and you have little to no access to Internet or your embassy (wwoofing is usually far into countryside). For example he wanted to go to Malaysia next (or somewhere in SEA I don't remember) but he had trouble with getting a visa
So my advice would be to check the list of countries where your countrymen don't need a visa or have a 30/90 days stay with no-visa and target those.
Otherwise it is perfectly feasible, some people go from place to place, other make rotations between 2, 3 or 4 places, it is pretty common for wwoofers in Schengen space

>>1283347
I'm from the UK. To be fair, I'm thinking of doing it in the UK for the first couple of months before moving on to other countries.

Are visas that challenging to apply for if you don't intend to do paid work?

Good advice though, thanks. What was your WWOOFing experience like?
