 The World

Intro

What is the world?

  • The world generally refers to the earth and everything that lives, grows and flourishes on it. The earth as the home of all animals and nature.

What meanings does the world have?

  • Sometimes the world does not only mean the earth and everything on it, but also the universe in which the earth moves.
  • Sometimes the world only means the immediate environment of all people on earth, as with the expression 'in the current world', or when one wants to describe society
  • Sometimes the world and its existence are also given a religious meaning, for example when it concerns the origins of the world

What is a scientific definition of a world?

  • A world is the whole of everything that is, what has been and what will be. The whole of reality, of all space and time

What is a continent?

Backpacking around the world?

  • There is so much to see that instead of a page we could fill an entire website about this... Oh but wait, we did! See above all the countries of the world and their unique features :). What else we can say here: the world is your playground! Each continent has something special to offer, and here is a very short list of some of the best places: 
  • South America: Patagonia for epic hikes, Colombia for fun locals and culture and Ecuador for unique culture. 
  • Asia: Thailand as backpacker Mecca (or make it a tour of Southeast Asia right away), Japan for a combo of modern and traditional and many conveniences, Nepal for the real hikers and spiritualists among us. 
  • Africa: Namibia for vast deserts, Tanzania for safaris and Kilimanjaro and Madagascar for if you really want to see totally unique nature and encounter few others. 
  • Europe: Portugal for charming and affordable vacations, Paris, Berlin, London and Prague for fun city trips, Scotland for rugged nature and Outlander lovers and Albania for Eastern European authenticity with modern conveniences.
  • Oceania: New Zealand for pristine landscapes, Fiji for a true paradise and Australia for mega-long road trips. 
  • North America: for conveniences and pricey trips, but fun and modern with beautiful nature. 
  • Antarctica: if you have the opportunity and money, let us know in the comments how it was!
  • Activity spotting: too many to mention. Otherwise, start with the 7 wonders of the world, or the highest mountain on each continent, or go on a fun city break.   

Study around the world?

  • Best places: UK, US, Singapore (but also expensive), Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Australia.
  • Better not to: Nauru because there is no university there, North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, conflict zones but also many other countries that are still developing unless you like to learn about local customs and nature. 

Internship in the world?

  • There is so much out there! Think Switzerland for luxury corporate internships, Costa Rica for ecotourism and nature conservation, India for innovative and cultural challenges, etc etc etc. 
  • Competencies: international cooperation, flexibility, adaptability, language skills. 

Volunteer around the world?

  • You make the most difference in poorer countries where they could use your help. Consider volunteering in the areas of education, community development, health care, child care, women's empowerment, helping start businesses, nature and animal protection etc. 

Working around the world?

  • In each country, it is totally different. If you want to go for a high salary, look at Switzerland and Singapore. Canada is otherwise pretty migrant friendly and as a European you can of course work anywhere in Europe. 

Working as a digital nomad around the world?

  • As a digital nomad, you have a choice of the ultimate digital nomad places like Bali, Chiang Mai, Medellín and Lisbon, or quieter places like Puebla, Vilnius, Gran Canaria, Dakar. 
  • Places not to recommend: North Korea, Antarctica, Baghdad, Pacific islands and conflict zones, of course. 

Living in the world?

  • Here you can go for adventure combined with challenges, uncertainty and risk, or safer places that may be more like home and have similar amenities. 
  • The world is full of diversity, from the samba of Brazil to the tea ceremonies of Japan. The best places depend on your preferences for adventure, tranquility or tradition.
  • But ... no matter where you live, go and explore, always make sure you take care and have your own well-covered health insurance.

Activities abroad: home page

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
