What are mosquitoes and where do you encounter them?

  • The term mosquito usually refers to the human-biting, sleep-disrupting family of small flies.
  • The most notorious biting mosquito species are malaria mosquitoes, tiger mosquitoes, and yellow fever mosquitoes (or dengue mosquitoes).
  • In addition to thousands of species of biting mosquitoes, there are also a few mosquito species that look more like flies than mosquitoes, but whose females also like to consume human blood: gnats, biting midges, and black flies.
  • In certain water-rich areas, for example in New Zealand, you can be greatly bothered by the tiny biting black flies, an irritating collection of biting/stinging insects, Black flies also occur in Central America and Africa. Another family of annoyingly often biting flies consists of the 'gnats' (also known as midges, gnats, biting midges, no-see-ums, or gnats). This group of biting flies is very small, but often compensates for this through numbers and persistence.
  • Mosquitoes only need a little water or moist soil to lay eggs and are therefore found almost everywhere in the world.

Are mosquitoes dangerous?

  • Due to how widespread they are and the dangerous diseases they spread, mosquitoes rank top of the list of most dangerous animals.
  • Mosquitoes can transmit a number of infectious diseases.
  • The most common infectious diseases are:
    • Malaria: which occurs in almost all (sub)tropical destinations.
    • Yellow fever: You can contract this in large parts of tropical Africa and South America.
    • Dengue fever: occurs in many countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia.
    • Chikungunya virus: You can contract this in tropical areas, but also in France or Italy.
  • River blindness is a nasty disease that is spread particularly in Africa via the bite of a type of blackfly.

What does a mosquito bite consist of?

  • A mosquito bite forms after a mosquito has sucked a little blood from your body. The saliva left behind by the mosquito contains a protein that triggers an immune response in humans in the form of a mosquito bite.
  • Technically speaking, a mosquito bites and does not sting. Stinging is a defensive reaction by insects in which they sting in self-defense and often inject venom.
  • A mosquito bite serves as food for the mosquito.
Back to top

How do you take precautions against diseases spread by mosquitoes?

  • Good protection against mosquito bites is very important at all times. For example, as if they were coordinated, the "Dengue mosquito" is active during the day, while the "Malaria mosquito" is active mainly in the evening.
  • Keep in mind that taking malaria tablets does not offer complete protection, and that there is currently no vaccine or cure for Chikungunya or West Nile fever.
  • Read here what you can do to protect yourself against insects, mosquitoes, and spiders abroad, or check the page with everything about mosquito repellents and insect repellents.

Health, Insurance & Safety

Are you insured while working with animals abroad?
  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad.
  • Local employers generally offer limited or no supplementary insurance.
  • During work, internships, or volunteering abroad where you receive compensation or a salary, your own health insurance coverage in your home country may lapse. See the pages on: insuring paid work, internships, or volunteering abroad.
  • See also: insurance for working with animals for paid work, for internships and for volunteer work abroad.
What is insurance for working with animals abroad, and why do you need specific insurance for jobs, internships, and volunteer work abroad?

Insurance for working with animals abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work. Almost all standard insurers exclude working with animals from coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
Back to top

What should you pay attention to in your insurance policy if you are going to work abroad?

  • Make sure you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and working.
  • That you have insurance that provides sufficient coverage for the work you will be performing.
  • Make sure you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless the coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.

What is nature and environmental protection?

  • Working in nature and the environment protection abroad means committing to protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing ecosystems and natural resources.
  • The protection can take place in remote nature reserves, but also in cities, research institutions, or in collaboration with local communities.
  • The core of working in the nature and environmental protection is finding a balance between humans and nature.
  • You can focus for example on protecting endangered species, restoring damaged ecosystems, or supporting more sustainable ways of living and producing.
As a nature and environmental protection worker tasks and responsibilities can include:
  • Protecting biodiversity like animal and plant species.
  • Combating deforestation, pollution, and climate change.
  • Restoring ecosystems such as forests, coral reefs, or mangroves.
  • Promoting the sustainable use of water, agriculture, and energy.
  • Contributing to education and awareness regarding the environment and nature.
Your role in the nature protection can vary greatly depending on the project, your background, and the location. It will most probably consist of:
  • Participating in nature restoration projects, such as planting trees or restoring habitats.
  • Assisting with wildlife conservation or in animal shelters
  • Collecting data for ecological or climate research.
  • Supporting local communities in sustainable land use.
  • Providing education on nature and the environment.
  • Contributing to campaigns or activist actions, such as awareness projects or protests.
  • It is important to realize that nature conservation rarely revolves solely around nature. Projects are often closely linked to local living conditions, economic interests, and cultural values. The involvement of the local population is therefore essential for the success of a project.
Good to know, when you are protecting nature and the environment is:
  • The impact of your work is often only visible on long term basis, and projects vary greatly in approach, quality, and effectiveness.
  • The work is often physical and takes place outdoors, sometimes in remote areas.
  • There are also important roles within research, organization, communication, or policy that take place indoors.
Back to top

What are reasons to protect nature and the environment?

  • To become environmentally aware: you learn to understand ecosystems and see the direct impact of human activity on nature and the climate.
  • To be involved: you actively contribute to protecting nature, biodiversity, and the living environment.
  • To learn to analyze: you gain insight into complex environmental problems such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution.
  • To develop your own vision: you form an opinion on sustainability and the role of humans and nature.
  • To work in a results-oriented manner: you make a concrete contribution to projects such as reforestation, research, or education.
Back to top

What skills and motivations do you need to protect nature and the environment?

  • Commitment: because without passion for nature and the environment, it is difficult to achieve anything.
  • Perseverance: conditions can be tough, so it's useful to be a bit stress resistant.
  • Environmental awareness: you simply can't do or experience nature and environmental protection without already some respect for nature and ecosystems.
  • Collaboration: nature and environmental protection is all about working in teams and with locals where empathy and communicating across a language barrier require additional skills

What are the risks of nature and environmental protection and are you insured against those risks while abroad?

What are the risks of nature and environmental protection, and what happens with some regularity:
  • that you work in remote nature areas where medical facilities are limited and evacuation can be difficult.
  • that you are exposed to extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold, rain, or altitude differences.
  • that you come into contact with wild animals, insects, or plants that pose health risks (bites, allergies, diseases).
  • that the physical strain is high due to heavy work, long days, and working in harsh conditions.
  • that projects take place in countries with less stable infrastructure or healthcare.
  • that costs for medical assistance, evacuation, or damage are not covered without appropriate insurance.
Are you insured for working in nature and environmental protection abroad?
  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad.
  • Local employers generally offer limited or no supplementary insurance.
  • During work, internships, or volunteering abroad where you receive compensation or a salary, your own health insurance coverage in your home country may lapse.
  • See the pages on insurance for working in environmental and nature protection for paid work, for internships and for volunteer work abroad.

Beach Cleanups and trash hunting abroad: what is it, why should you do it, and where is the best place to go?

Back to top

What is trash hunting and beach cleanup abroad and why is it done?

  • Litter is a problem that exists worldwide, from the north cape to cape horn and from tropical beaches to the slopes of Everest
  • During trash hunting or cleanups, a specific area is chosen to takeaway all plastic trash and other waste.
  • Depending on the location, the waste consists of household waste, PET bottles, leftovers from fishing, tourist trash or floating debris from the other side of the world
  • Cleaning up litter can be intended to protect wildlife, to give nature another chance or to make a place so beautiful that visitors will want to visit it again.
  • Most cleanups are organised by local citizen initiatives, foundations and action groups and joining them is free
Back to top

What does working in a cleanup project involve?

  • During most cleanups you will go out with a group of volunteers with a pile of garbage bags and work gloves.
  • When cleaning up waste on islands, isolated beaches or between mangroves you will often do your cleanup work from a boat.
  • In reef cleanups you will go into the water with a snorkel or diving gear depending on the depth of the water
  • Sometimes a competitive element is added to an activity, where groups compete against each other to collect as many kilos of waste as possible.
  • Some environmentally conscious tour agencies offer discounts for people who are willing to pick up trash along hiking or climbing trails
  • No training or experience is required for this work, the much bending and the large amounts of waste make this work quite hard so a reasonable to good condition is desirable
Back to top

What do you get out of it?

  • Involvement: it strengthens your sense of involvement in tackling pollution and protecting nature in a very hands on way.
  • Experience: for a large part of the cleanups you will be active in a location where you as a tourist will not quickly come. By working with a group of committed volunteers you will experience the environment more strongly than normal
  • New contacts: the low-key nature of the activity ensures that a diverse audience participates. It is a way for outsiders to get to know the locals or for expats to meet other involved citizens

What is working with animals abroad?

  • Working with animals abroad means that you actively work for the protection or care of one or more animal species.
  • The work can be divided into working with animals in their natural environment and working with animals in shelters. In addition, there are often activities to be done in the field of communication, education or, for example, fundraising.
  • What is protecting animals in the natural environment of the animal?
  • Protecting animals abroad in the natural environment (habitat) of the animal means that you do activities that relate to improving the living environment. Or that you help with research such as measurements, counts or behavioral observations.
  • What is caring for animals in shelters and zoos?
  • Caring for animals abroad in shelters means that you do activities that relate to providing food, carrying out fence checks, cleaning cages and monitoring their health.
Back to top

Why would you protect and care for animals abroad?

  • Helpfulness: whether you help another person or an animal in need: you get more back for the rewarding work than you put into it.
  • Involvement: it strengthens your sense of involvement in the protection of nature and the animal world and also with other animal lovers.
  • Experience: the chance that you will experience something you have never done before, that you will be pulled out of your comfort zone and that you will have an unforgettable experience is considerable.
  • Stability and stress reduction: animals can have a strong influence on you when it comes to stress reduction; well-known examples are horses and dolphins. Other animals can be a good indicator of the extent to which you are already stress-resistant.
  • Freedom: especially when you are working in the middle of nature, you will notice the difference with the life you sometimes lead at home.
  • Read more: about these and more skills and motivations
Back to top

What do you need or can you learn if you are going to protect and care for animals abroad?

  • Being environmentally aware: for example by taking your environment into account, carefully storing your waste, leaving animals alone in their own habitat. Analytical skills: you will often have to analyse the behaviour of animals well. Sometimes to prevent danger, and sometimes because it is part of your work. In this way, you often also strengthen your own analytical skills.
  • Being aware of the organisation: animal and nature protection organisations, and animal shelters, are often run by a special breed of very committed people. In addition, these are organisations that often have few resources and have to fight against local bureaucracy.
  • Empathy: being aware of these circumstances is sometimes half the battle when it comes to understanding the behavior of project staff or your immediate colleagues.

How does the preparation for working with animals abroad work in short?

  • Accommodation: In many nature reserves you can sleep in ranger accommodations, mountain huts, etc., but bringing your own tent often provides a lot more privacy (but keep an eye on the animals). If you work at an animal shelter, for example, your accommodation will often be less primitive.
  • Visas and permits: For some areas you need a special permit. Check this well in advance.
  • Currency: Take extra precautions if you are going to remote areas.
  • Safety & Troubleshooting: safety obviously differs per area you go to, so check the situation carefully with regard to possible rebels, weather and seasonal conditions, routes, presence of wild animals, etc. When working with animals in their natural environment, the environment often offers more risk than the animals you are examining. If you are going to work with animals in a form of captivity, the species you are working with determines the risks to a certain extent.
  • Vaccinations & Health: If you are going into nature or working with animals, make sure you get specialized advice from a travel doctor or the Travel Clinic. Also check the information about the rabies and tick encephalitis vaccination.
  • Insurance & Emergency Centers: when working with animals, an insurance that has taken into account the risks and local circumstances is actually the only luxury that is recommended.
Back to top

To what extent are you insured for the risks?

  • All over the world there are reserves, animal shelters and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as an intern or volunteer.
  • In addition to 'cute' or 'impressive', 'unpredictable' is also a word that you can attribute to (wild) animals.
  • Working with wildlife (and with animals in general) is therefore not without its risks. If a cute monkey suddenly turns out to be able to bite viciously, this can cause nasty injuries and even illnesses.
  • Because many insurers exclude working with animals from coverage, it is important to handle this carefully.

Back to top

What is reforestation and tree planting abroad and why is it done?

  • Reforestation involves planting trees and shrubs in places where they have previously disappeared due to logging, flooding or forest fires.
  • In many areas, planting trees helps to absorb or reduce the effects of climate change.
  • In coastal areas, mangrove forests are planted to break waves, prevent land from being washed away and provide fish with a place to read.
  • In dry areas, new trees provide shade, prevent erosion and desertification of the landscape.
  • In reforestation projects and activities, attention is often also paid to restoring biodiversity by using various local tree species, which benefits local animal species.
  • Many projects have their own nursery where small trees are grown from seeds.
Back to top

What does working in a reforestation project involve?

  • You can help care for the young trees (seedlings) at the nursery.
  • You plant the small trees at selected locations.
  • You care for the trees after they have been planted, for example by weeding, watering or placing protection against cattle and other grazers.
  • You teach local communities about biodiversity, the benefits of reforestation for the local economy, for example.
  • If you have a background in horticulture, forestry or water management, you can help train local employees or, for example, carry out a research internship on the results of the project.
Back to top

What do you get out of it?

  • Involvement: it strengthens your sense of involvement in tackling climate change, protecting nature and the plant world and also with other nature lovers
  • Experience: the chance that you experience something you have never done before, that you are pulled out of your comfort zone and that you gain an unforgettable experience is considerable
  • Freedom: especially when you are working in the middle of nature, you notice the difference with the life you sometimes lead at home
Back to top

What do you need or can you learn if you are going to plant and care for trees abroad?

  • Being environmentally aware: for example, by taking your surroundings into account, carefully storing your waste, minimizing water use and understanding the complex relationship between soil, plants and people.
  • Being organizationally aware: environmental clubs and nature conservation organizations are often run by a special breed of very committed people. In addition, these are organizations that often have few resources and have to fight against local bureaucracy.
  • Empathy: being aware of those circumstances is sometimes half the battle if you want to understand the behavior of the employees of a project, or your direct fellow helpers.

What is volunteer work abroad?

  • Volunteer work abroad means that you work abroad for a certain period of time at a foreign project or organization to help, learn or transfer knowledge.

Why should you volunteer abroad?

  • To see yourself at work in a different environment.
  • To be able to work in another area and see if you like it.
  • To use as a stepping stone to a local job with salary.

  • Because you have already raised money for the project or organization where you will be working

To what extent are you insured for the risks of volunteering abroad?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when volunteering abroad, or at least you should carefully check your insured situation.
    • Local organizations usually offer no, or very limited, insurance.
    • There is a risk of accidents, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience.
    • During your volunteer work abroad where you receive financial compensation (or, for example, food and housing), your health insurance coverage will potentially lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured against illness and accidents.

Working on a farm abroad: what is it, where is the best place to go, and are you insured?

Working on a farm abroad: what is it, where is the best place to go, and are you insured?

Back to top

What does working on a farm abroad involve?

  • Working on a farm means that you work temporarily as a seasonal or summer worker for an agricultural company. This can range from working as a fruit picker in France to herding cattle in Australia and from milking organic goats in Chile to working together within a permaculture community in the tropics.
  • Employment: There is always a chance of work when you knock on a farmer's door. Many farms, especially in Europe, but certainly also in Australia and New Zealand, are usually looking for assistance, especially during the busy seasons. Small-scale farms often have work for unskilled (or non-agriculturally trained) people and will also be more open to a construction with room and board.
  • Activities: There is a huge variety of seasonal jobs within agriculture and livestock farming. It can help to have experience with driving a tractor, horse riding, or other work on a farm, or to have at least some feeling for working with machinery or farm animals.
Back to top

Why should you work on a farm abroad?

  • To stimulate your sense of involvement: sometimes you work very intensively with the same people on a farm for a long time, you often also sleep in a room with the same people. You have to like that, but you also make friends for life.
  • To make the world around you more sustainable: by looking for work in organic farming, permaculture, or for example in the production of goat cheese, you can nicely combine your work and interests.
  • To be profitable in a creative way: some small farmers will not be able to pay you a wage but will offer a place to sleep and food in exchange for work.
  • To gain new experiences: during your stay on a farm and when you go to work, you experience much more than when you travel around alone.
  • To increase your self-awareness: further away from your familiar environment, you discover more quickly what you can actually do and what you actually want. By going to work, you encounter yourself more often; you get to know yourself better and accept who you are and want to be.
  • To test your environmental awareness: living and working in rural areas allows you to experience a foreign culture in an entirely different and more authentic way than, for example, working in tourism.

What do you need when you want to work on a farm?

  • Flexibility: weather conditions, animal behavior, and plant growth do not always go according to plan, which means that your flexibility will often be called upon.
  • Collaborative skills: being able to learn to work together with a group of seasonal workers or with the farm family will always be necessary.
