Work&Travel Jobs
Nobody knows what they can do until they have tried.
Working as a waiter in Restaurants, Cafés & Bars🍹
Definitely one of my favorite jobs while traveling. When I arrived in Australia, I could barely speak a word of English, let alone understand the Aussie accent 😳! Through constant customer contact, I quickly learned the language & made new contacts ☀️
Salary: $20 - $27 per hour 💰
Cleaning staff in Motels & Hostels🧽
The most common job for backpackers! In the hostel, I had to clean for about 2 hours a day & got free accommodation for it. Definitely not the best job… It's smarter to work in a hotel or motel, as you usually get an hourly wage there! 😉
Salary: $20 - $23 per hour Hostels -> free accommodation
Working in a Plastic Factory☠️
Oh, I hate factory work. Never again! My task was to click the clips onto the bread box lids all the time, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week 😅. But I could make decent money there as a backpacker!
Salary: $22 per hour 💰
Working on the Potato Field🥔
You wouldn't believe how fast the potatoes shoot through the machines. Here we had to quickly sort out everything that wasn't a potato. The best part: Listen to podcasts or music 🎶. Here, too, I worked at least 10 hours a day.
Salary: $20 per hour 💰
Working on the Kiwi Field🥝
I had to pick the kiwis that didn't have the right measurements and drop them on the ground. Easy job! The best part: Occasionally, I could see nests with very cute little birds 😍. Plus, I could chat with other people about everything during work. Downside: Work gets canceled if it rains! ☔️
Salary: $19 per hour 💰
My Shuttle Service Job🚐
Most of the time I got this job directly at the hostel. My task was to pick up the new guests from the bus stop. Again, easy! I had to drive 2 times a day for 10 minutes each, and in return, I didn't pay anything for my accommodation! Definitely better than cleaning 😂
Salary: Free accommodation 🛏
Working in the Outback🦘
My absolute favorite job! Here, I gained the most experience! The Outback is beautiful & has so much to offer. I got to know handling cattle, shooting, quad biking, motorcycling, the "farmer culture," and so much more... You just have to experience it! 😍
Salary: $15 per hour + free accommodation + provisions
Working as an Au-Pair 👩👧👦
I didn't do my training as an educator for nothing! Working with children is still incredibly fun for me 🥰! Plus, my host family was super lovable & I felt completely comfortable!
Salary: $350 per week + accommodation + meals
Promotion Job
In a hostel, I did advertising at the bus stations & picked up the new guests immediately afterward. A great way to meet new people right away!
Salary: Free accommodation
