Be part of a team and give something back by joining a volunteer project. A wide variety of activity based placements accept volunteers for short durations. Animal / Marine life volunteer projects and conservation groups have programes where travellers can learn more about wildlife, endangered or exotic species in their native habitats. Community projects are also a great way to meet interesting people and learn about a new culture.

There is still availability for paid working holiday programs, a popular destination is the Southern hemisphere where you can get away from the cold winter weather in Europe / North America. A number of companies arrange paid work placements in Australia where you could spend Christmas day on a white sandy beach then bring in the New Year with a spectacular fireworks display over the Sydney Harbour Bridge!

If you’re young, enjoy skiing and snowboarding and open to working abroad, Canada might be your ideal winter holiday destination. On a ski resort work placement you could spend time off hitting the slopes. Arrange your working holiday visa and placement in advance and enjoy a fantastic experience working at a ski resort in the Rockies.

Teachers looking for a constructive way to spend the holidays could travel to Central / South America to assist on volunteer teaching programs, a rewarding way to enhance a CV and make new friends. Many travellers choose to gain additional skills by taking a course and learning Spanish at a language school. Others take dance or music classes in one of the famous latin styles and spend fabulous nights dancing the rumba, salsa, tango or samba.

The holidays are a great time to be with friends and a popular getaway option is to celebrate the festive season with a group tour. Places are limited now, but places are still available so book quick! Tour options are available worldwide, you just need to decide your destination and persuede your friends!
