Programs & Work Exchanges
BUNAC
Working holiday programs for young people - for some nationalities, you may need to be a student. We have traveled with BUNAC and have had great success. This is one of the better known and respected work exchange programs. They currently offer work exchange programs to Australia, Britain, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United States and South Africa. (*We have actually used BUNAC for work visas to Australia and New Zealand and highly recommend the company.)
