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.

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.

Working in nature and outdoors abroad: what is it, why would you do it, and where is the best place to go?

Working in nature and outdoors abroad: what is it, why would you do it, and where is the best place to go?

Back to top

What is working in nature and outdoors abroad like?

  • Working in nature and the outdoors means spending most of your day outdoors.
  • You will work in areas with abundant greenery, animals, forests, beaches, mountains, or countryside.
  • This could be on a farm, nature project, campsite, ecolodge, sustainability initiative, wildlife project, or outdoor organization.
  • Living conditions vary greatly. Sometimes basic, sometimes comfortable.
  • But always: fresh air, exercise, and lots of nature.
  • Duties vary by organization, but often include:
    • maintenance of nature reserves, trails, or parks;
    • helping on a farm or sustainable agricultural site;
    • maintenance and work at campsites and outdoor accommodations;
    • participating in ecolodges, ecohostels, or sustainable projects;
    • assisting with animal care or wildlife monitoring;
    • repairs and manual work such as installing fences, painting, or building.
    • Light technical work, gardening, composting.
    • Supervising guests or volunteers.
    • Cleaning outdoor areas or common areas.
  • Working conditions: Most nature and outdoor jobs offer a local average salary (depending on country and season) or room and board with a small expense allowance.
  • Discounts on activities and meals or basic food can be part of the package.
  • Volunteer work usually doesn't include a salary, but it does include food, accommodation, and training.
  • Internships are also often unpaid, but they do offer experience and supervisors. Your accommodation is often basic: staff accommodation, shared rooms, tents, huts, or farmhouse rooms.
Back to top

What are the reasons for working in nature and outdoors abroad?

  • To strengthen your adaptability: working outdoors means dealing with weather, animals, machinery, unexpected situations, and seasons. You'll learn to adapt flexibly, a valuable skill for all future employers.
  • To develop strong problem-solving skills: from a broken water hose to a sudden thunderstorm while working outdoors: you'll learn to think quickly, creatively, and practically.
  • To build your physical and mental resilience: working outdoors requires perseverance, discipline, and stress resistance. You'll literally build a stronger body and brain.
  • To practice your self-reliance: many outdoor jobs (sustainability, ranger work, farms, campsites) require you to make independent decisions and show initiative.
  • To learn to think sustainably and work systems-oriented: ecological work requires you to see connections (soil, biodiversity, water, human behavior). This strengthens your analytical skills and your sustainable mindset.
  • To increase environmental awareness: you'll learn to recognize risks, which is essential in nature work, strengthening your responsibility and safety skills.
Back to top

What skills and motivations do you need to work in nature and outdoors abroad?

  • Collaboration and empathy: You'll work in teams, often internationally, and therefore must be able to collaborate well with people from different backgrounds.
  • Resilience and calmness under pressure: Many unexpected situations can arise, especially if you're responsible for clients or other employees, for example.
  • Professional conduct and craftsmanship: Safety and care are very important when working outdoors!
  • Planning and organization: Depending on your role, this can be very important. A good daily schedule makes everyone's work much more enjoyable!
  • Service orientation: This is especially important at campsites/ecolods.
  • Situational awareness: Your awareness of nature, culture, animals, and safety is incredibly important when you're outdoors a lot and working with different people and circumstances.

What are the risks of working in nature and outdoors abroad, and are you insured against those risks? 

  • What are the risks of working in nature and outdoors abroad?
    • Local employers generally offer limited or no supplementary insurance.
    • There is a risk of accidents because the chances are high, that you are doing work with which you have little experience.
    • There are also considerable risks when working in nature and outdoors. It is, of course, wonderful for the soul, but injuries are a risk. On farms, for example, you can face significant risks due to the (incorrect) use of tools and machines, the risk of being bitten and kicked by animals, heat exhaustion, falls, and back problems from heavy and repetitive lifting.
    • If you work extensively in nature, you also risk injuries from falling branches, poisonous plants and animals, sprains, and hypothermia.
    • Do you work primarily in the camping or lodge sector? There are also significant risks then (in addition to those mentioned above). You can suffer food poisoning, injuries during maintenance work, burns, and sometimes hygiene is also a concern.
    • Outdoor work carries increased risk, so it's important to be adequately insured.
  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad. See the pages on: insuring international Insurances for working abroad, for internships abroad, for volunteering abroad, or for expats and emigrants.

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

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.

  • Emigration insurance is an insurance that continues to provide coverage if you move abroad permanently or for an indefinite period of time.
  • Emigration insurance is not only intended for emigrants, but for anyone who leaves their home country for an extended period of time and does not intend to return in the foreseeable future.
  • Expat insurance is insurance that continues to provide coverage if you go to work abroad for a local or international employer for an extended period of time.
  • Expat insurance is not only intended for expats, but for anyone who has a more permanent job abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized insurance for emigration or working as an expat abroad?

  • Emigration or expat insurance not only provides coverage for acute assistance in the event of illness or accident abroad, such as travel insurance, but can also provide coverage for existing conditions and ailments or non-urgent care.
  • Emigration or expat insurance does not require you to maintain valid health insurance in your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance provides coverage for preventive care or costs related to pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Emigration or expat insurance also provides coverage for long-term treatments and chronic conditions without you having to return to your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance often has no restrictions on the duration of the insurance, unlike travel insurance.
  • Emigration or expat insurance usually maintains coverage in cases such as negative travel advice or acts of war.

Why should you take out travel insurance and why through the JoHo Foundation?

Why should you take out travel insurance and why through the JoHo Foundation?

Why Insurances through JoHo

  • Specialized: in emigration, work, internships, study and travel abroad.

  • Service: JoHo offers multiple travel insurances by multiple companies. Thanks to JoHo's extensive experience, it can offer support in case of problems with insurers, as well as advice and fast and personal handling.

  • Safe: JoHo is recognized as a trustworthy intermediary for insurances.

  • Social: by purchasing an insurance through JoHo you provide a talented student in The Philippines with health insurance

Why Should You Take Out A Travel Insurance?

  • The chance of getting injured or ill is generally higher than when you would have stayed at home. The medical care you will need can be very expensive, even more so if you are treated in a private clinic.

  • If you have to fly back because of family circumstances, the flights might be more expensive than your original flight because you have to fly on short notice.

  • You might have to deal with the damage, loss or theft of your luggage.

  • In case of emergency it can be difficult to figure out what to do. A good travel insurance will have an assistance team on standby for you 24/7 and will be able to tell you what steps to take.

Why Should You Specifically Take Out A Travel Insurance For A Long Trip Abroad?

  • Often regular travel or health insurances only cover trips for a maximum number of days (for example 60, 90 or 180 days).

  • Depending on your home country, your health insurance might not offer any coverage for treatment abroad.

  • During a long trip you might consider specific activities, like paid work or volunteering. Regular travel insurances often don’t cover these kind of activities. The same goes for adventurous/ hazardous sports like skydiving, scuba-diving and bungee jumping.

More on why to use JoHo

  • JoHo is one of the few organizations where you can directly purchase a comprehensive range of foreign insurances from a variety of insurers. As with our other products and services, we believe that you should be able to choose between the best, the most cost effective and the most specialized insurance.

  • JoHo offers various possibilities from combining insurances to assisting in transferring from one insurer to another.

  • When you purchase an insurance policy through JoHo, you will not pay more than if you had purchased it directly from the insurer. Sometimes (through special collective agreements) you will even pay less.

  • JoHo offers support with problems that may arise with the insurer. Sometimes disagreement with claims, cancellation notice or insurance premiums can occur. In this situation it helps if you have the assistance of an organization who has an established relationship with the insurer.
