What is working as an animator abroad like?

  • As an animator, you will likely clock up more miles than your pedometer could ever handle, hear more languages ​​than you learned at school, and expend more energy than you thought you had. But you will also get a remarkable amount in return.
  • Working as an animator abroad is all about getting people moving, both literally and figuratively. You are the one who creates the atmosphere, brings groups together, and turns an ordinary day into a vacation memory.
  • You will usually work in places where people don't have to work: holiday parks, resorts, campsites, hotels, cruise ships, youth and sports camps, or recreation centers.
  • While others are relaxing, you will make sure there's something to do. This could range from children's activities and sports tournaments to evening shows, workshops, or theme parties.
  • Sometimes you will be front and center, sometimes you will be organizing behind the scenes, but you will almost always be visible, approachable, and active. Responsibilities: Depending on the organization, target group, and location, your duties may include:
    • Setting up, preparing, and supervising day and evening programs.
    • Organizing sports, games, dance, music, or creative activities.
    • Supervising specific target groups, such as children, teenagers, families, or adults.
    • Inspiring participants and encouraging participation (even those who "actually just came to watch").
    • Working with an international animation or entertainment team.
    • Contributing to new activities and adapting programs to the weather, culture, and audience.
  • Working Conditions:
    • Animator work is often seasonal, with contracts ranging from a few weeks to several months.
    • Compensation varies widely: from a salary to a combination of room, board, meals, and a small allowance.
    • Working days are often irregular: activities during the day, shows in the evening, you can sleep in later.
    • You will frequently collaborate with people from other countries, creating an intensive but educational social environment. The line between work and leisure can be thin: you often live at or near your workplace.
  • This type of work is popular with seasonal travelers, students, gap year participants, and people who want to develop their social and communication skills in practice.

Working in winter sports abroad: what, why, and where?

Back to top

What is working in winter sports abroad like?

  • Working in winter sports means seasonal work in mountain areas where winter sports are popular, such as skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, or winter hiking. The work ranges from lift operator to instructor, from chalet host to entertainment, from snow groomer to hospitality in ski resorts.
  • You often stay in a winter sports area for several months and work in or around a ski resort, hotel, chalet, ski school, or tourism organization.
  • Many people choose working in season because it offers a combination of work, mountain living, and plenty of time outdoors.
  • Responsibilities: You might be thinking primarily of working as a ski or snowboard instructor, but there are many more possibilities. Here's a brief overview.
    • Slope and snow-related: teaching ski or snowboard lessons (beginners or advanced), assisting with group lessons, kids' clubs and childcare, slope maintenance (shoveling, leveling, safety), lift operation, gondola operation, helping guests board, assisting with avalanche prevention and slope monitoring (advanced). Snowpark and ​​freestyle: shaping jumps and rails, checking park safety, signage, and managing zones.
    • Chalet and hospitality work: preparing breakfast/dinner, cleaning, welcoming and assisting guests, organizing themed dinners or activities.
    • Bars & restaurants: making drinks, running après-ski, serving, working in restaurants or mountain huts.
    • Technology & equipment: waxing and sharpening skis and snowboards, carrying out repairs, advising customers in rental shops.
    • Tourism & recreation: guiding snowshoe hikes, leading local tours, organizing resort activities, chauffeuring.
  • Working conditions: In Europe, the salary is often between a local monthly salary and a local salary, depending on the country and the job.
  • Instructors often earn more with experience and certifications.
  • In Canada, Australia (yes, you can ski there too), and Japan, the salary is comparable, but depends on the exchange rate. Wages in Japan are often lower than in Europe.
  • In the US, you'll find higher wages, but obtaining a visa is more difficult. Contracts are often between 2 and 5 months.
  • Many jobs include staff accommodations, sometimes free and sometimes for a fee. Meals are usually not included, but a ski pass is sometimes included. Depending on where you work, you can sometimes get a discount on clothing, winter sports gear, and equipment rental.
  • Keep in mind that winter sports can involve significant costs, such as ski clothing, good insurance, transportation costs, a ski pass, and gear.
  • Winter sports work is also seasonal. No snow? No work.
Back to top

What are the reasons for working in winter sports abroad?

  • To be more daring and take risks: not only in life, but sometimes even on the slopes. Skiing to work is quite something.
  • To learn how to make contacts: if you want to continue working in winter sports, good international connections are important. To discover if service orientation is right for you: the vast majority of winter sports jobs involve customer contact, and it's not always the easiest!
  • To experience new things and make lifelong friends: there are countless new experiences to be had at a ski resort, and you'll work with others in a close-knit community.
Back to top

What skills and motivations do you need to work in winter sports abroad?

  • Situational awareness: you'll work in cold, snowy, and mountainous conditions. You'll need to consider risks, weather changes, and safety on slopes and trails.
  • Organizational awareness: every resort operates differently—some are tightly organized, others improvise frequently. It's always a matter of adapting to the team's working methods.
  • Communication skills: you'll communicate with guests, colleagues, instructors, and hotel staff, sometimes in multiple languages. Clarity is essential for your own safety and that of others. Professionalism: It can be busy, chaotic, and physically demanding, but… You remain presentable and professional, even when it's minus 15 degrees Celsius and you've been outside for eight hours.
  • Flexibility: The weather, crowds, and schedules are constantly changing. You learn to handle last-minute shifts and unexpected tasks.
  • Collaboration: A winter sports resort only functions with good teamwork: lifts, hospitality, ski school, cleaning, rentals—everything is interconnected.

What is working as a chef abroad like?

  • Whether you are at a beach bar in Bali, a mountain hut in Austria, a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, or a hip fusion restaurant in Seoul, cooking abroad means more than just preparing meals. It is an adventure filled with new flavors, new connections, and new techniques.
  • What you do exactly depends on the location:
    • As a chef, your work includes creating menus, purchasing, developing recipes, managing teams, and monitoring stress levels (yours and the sous chefs).
    • As a sous chef or line cook, you will prepare, chop, bake, and roast, ensuring everything is ready on time without anyone even bothering to cook.
    • As a volunteer or intern, you will often help with mise-en-place (MEP), learn to make local dishes, discover new cooking techniques, and occasionally do the dishes, because, well, that's part of the job.
  • Working conditions (salary, compensation, and expenses): Salary varies widely. In some countries, you will earn a typical local wage (and plenty of appreciation from hungry guests), while in other places, you will work with room and board and a small expense allowance. Volunteers and interns often receive housing and food in exchange for the help in the kitchen, and sometimes an internship allowance.
  • Accommodation can range from shared rooms above the kitchen to charming huts on the beach.
  • Working as a chef in another country teaches you not only how others cook, but especially why. You will discover how culture, climate, and tradition find their way onto the plate.
  • Moreover, the work is intense, social, and often a bit hilarious. Nothing brings people together faster than a shift where everything goes wrong, but the food is still fantastic.
Back to top

What are reasons for working as a chef abroad?

  • To develop your professionalism: In foreign kitchens, there are different rules, different paces, and hierarchies often apply. You learn to work with strict structures or with total chaos; both are an excellent training ground for discipline, flexibility, and respect for other work cultures.
  • To fuel your creativity: You will discover new products, cooking techniques, and flavors you wouldn't encounter anywhere else.
  • To grow in collaboration: Kitchens revolve around teamwork. You will learn to handle pressure, language barriers, cultural differences, and strong personalities. You will develop tact, empathy, and humor (the latter often being the key to success).
  • To manage stress: During a busy shift, you will train your resilience and learn that mistakes are part of life, as long as the food tastes good.
  • To strengthen your communication: You will work with people from all corners of the world and discover that "good food" means something different everywhere. You will learn to listen, explain, discuss, and appreciate what others bring to the table.
Back to top

What skills and motivation do you need to work as a chef abroad?

  • Being professional: You must know what you are doing, take hygiene seriously, and deliver quality under pressure. Because in the kitchen, every mistake is literally visible (and edible).
  • Collaboration and teamwork: You are part of a team that relies on each other, from dishwasher to sous chef. Without good communication, more than just food can quickly fly through the air.
  • Resilient and calm: During peak times, you learn that panic doesn't help, but planning does.
  • Creative and solution-oriented thinking: When an ingredient runs out, or the oven breaks down, you have to improvise.
  • Self-Awareness and self-Confidence: You have to be brave enough to stand by your dishes, but also be able to learn from feedback without breaking your ladle.
  • Result-oriented and goal-oriented: A service is only successful when every plate leaves the kitchen as intended: beautiful, delicious, hot, and on time.

  • What are the risks of working as a chef or cook?
    • It is not uncommon for the working environment to be unsafe: infrastructure, health risks, political instability, social norms.
    • It is common for your resistance to be low: long days, heat, and time pressure can lead to burnout-like symptoms. This is especially true in seasonal tourist jobs where the pace is fast.
    • It is common for there to be a lot of stress: due to responsibility, cultural and linguistic problems, busy seasons, and not having a valid work permit.
    • Physical strain is often high: due to standing, lifting, and walking a lot.
    • Accidents often occur: burns, cuts, back problems, joint problems, falls, or accidents involving hot oil, steam, and ovens.
    • It is common for someone to contract a contagious or local infection due to food hygiene in tropical conditions, which means you cannot work for a while or even have to be flown home.
    • It is common for someone to cause damage to guests: think of spilled grease stains on clothing or physical damage.

What is travel insurance to insure your trip or vacation?

  • Travel insurance is insurance that provides coverage for risks during a trip or vacation abroad. This mainly concerns loss of or damage to your luggage, medical assistance in the event of accidents, for example, or repatriation costs if you need to be transported back to your home country urgently. In some cases, travel insurance coverage also applies in your home country.

Insurance for working abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
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 paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
Back to top

  • 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 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)?
