Work'n'Travel in Germany

Do you want to get to know Germany, improve your German and have an experience? Have you ever thought about Work'n'Travel?. Admittedly, Germany is not the first country that comes to mind when one thinks of Work'n'Travel, but it is a possibility.

Germany - a good destination for Work'n'Travel

Work'n Travel Germany DestinationGermany is amazingly diverse and offers a lot to discover: in the north of the country, the North Sea and Baltic Sea with their numerous islands; in the south the Alps; romantic rivers such as the Rhine and Moselle; and of course pulsating metropolises such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich or Cologne. It is in some ways comparable to the Work'n'Travel classic Australia, as Germany is reasonable in size and you can get from point A to point B very easily. The chances of finding a job are also good. Germany is therefore an ideal destination for Work'n'Travel adventurers. Work'n'Travel is particularly suitable if you are studying in Germany at a later point in time, as you get to know the language, the country and the people in a care-free and easy way.

Traveling around Germany Work'n TravelTraveling around Germany

Travelling around in GermanyYou will probably arrive at one of the major international airports in Frankfurt, Munich or Düsseldorf. In total there are over 30 airports in Germany, which are connected by many domestic flights, some of which are very affordable. If you would like to see more of the countryside in Germany, you should travel by train. The railway network in Germany is readily accessible, and with the Deutsche Bahn you can reach more remote areas, though this may cost a bit more. If you want to save money, we recommend long-distance bus lines or carpooling agencies. Hitchhiking is not very common in Germany these days.


Living Work'n TravelLiving

If, for example, you help with the harvest, there is a good chance that you will be provided with accommodation. If you work in a big city, the search for accommodation becomes more difficult and expensive. You could, however, try staying in a student dorm during the semester break or temporarily renting a room in an apartment with roommates. Otherwise, hostels offer affordable accommodation.
