Welcome to Live Work Play Travel.
I’m Sharyn and I’m the founder and creator of Live Work Play Travel. I’m a working holiday and work and travel information specialist! Why? Because I’ve been there and done it and I know what a big decision it can be to just get up and go overseas into the unknown. But with the right information that you will find here, I hope your worries will be alleviated and you will be inspired to begin your journey.
Whether you are looking to pour pints in a London pub, teach English in Japan, Au Pair for a high-flying family in New York, jackaroo or jillaroo in the Australian Outback, work on a cruise ship, shred the ski resorts of Europe or Canada, volunteer on a wildlife reserve in Africa, house sit on a Caribbean Island or become a Digital Nomad, I’ve got you covered! So stop thinking about it and do it. Start living your dream right now, right here. Join me and the thousands of travellers living, working, playing and travelling around the world.
Live Work Play Travel – its more than a way to travel – its your new lifestyle.
