So I guess I've been away from TL quite a while now... and don't expect to be a regular until I'm done work, but I thought I'd give a shout-out and ask for some advice concerning seasonal work.

Right now I'm working on a cherry orchard out in BC, running the logistics department of a small cherry shed... I've been doing this type of thing for 5 years now and have enjoyed it immensely, both as a way of making money and a reason to travel.

In December, I plan to do the same thing out in New Zealand, working and travelling for a bit until I get a feel for what I feel like doing with my life. Now after february or so I'm somewhat lost as to what I want to do... more of the same types of work, seasonal and short term but I would love to hear some ideas about what's available in other parts of the world.

I was thinking about teaching English in China, since I'm studying up a bit of Mandarin right now so perhaps I can put it to use, but that's not really my kind of work. In cherry season I average at least 90 hours a week for 6 weeks... tons of stress and late nights but its definitely worth it... the people you meet and places you see are really amazing.

Anyways, can I hear some thoughts about where to go and what jobs are available in the seasonal department?

Also, on a side note, if anyone is interested in working a cherry season, feel free to PM me for more info.

That sounds fantastic man, I wish you the best in your Cherry business and maybe your English teaching in China start off during off-season ( I would do it for the experience haha ). Also 90 hours a week for 6 weeks? a lot of respect to you!

thought this blog was going to be losing your virginity... :O

but yea, traveling is great -- if you can find a job that you enjoy that allows for extensive travel you've got a great deal.

so disappointed
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

If you want to come to the Netherlands there are several options:
From April to June you can harvest asparagus (mostly in the south-east part of the country).
And after that you can probably proceed with harvesting fruit (Apple / Pear / Cherry etc.) in a region called the "Betuwe" but I don't know the exact season for that.

Other then that I wouldn't know.
