Working Holiday in France vs. Italy: Which one is best?

Post Wed Mar 17, 2010 3:26 am

Hi members,

I recently completed a working holiday trip in the UK and it was all in all a great experience... it's incited in me a desire to do more of these trips but I feel like time is ticking away and I have to cram as much travelling time into my 20's as much as possible, as soon as possible. I am currently 24 years old, sans degree. So for the rest of my 20's I would want to complete my degree while doing as much travelling as humanly possible-- that is my goal. I have some questions. Is it true that as you get older it'll be harder to drop everything (even if you are single without a family) in your life to go work and travel abroad? I'm not talking about how society might view this, but how I may feel towards it myself at 35, for example. Internally I know I'll feel pressured to stop all this wandering and settle down and be career oriented! No more carefree days!

Second, where do you think I would stand a better chance of finding decent work, if any, in either Italy or France? Both countries appeal to me culturally but as an Asian Canadian female I wonder how easy it will be to land even menial service jobs provided obviously that I speak French/Italian proficiently?

Any thoughts/comments?

Thanks in advance! :p
