One of the best ways to travel around the world without emptying your savings account or sending your credit card limit through the roof is to take one of the many working holidays on offer.

From olive picking in the South of France to teaching English in Vietnam, there are working holidays to suit everyone, and providing you do a little groundwork and get the necessary paperwork before heading abroad, you could soon be one of the ‘lucky ones’ who get paid to work in an exotic location!
