I`m doing my first season of seasonal work right now, working in hospitality in a small hotel in the middle of the Alps. I feel like this is such an incredible opportunity to live/travel in amazing locations with no expenses and get paid for it. I cut a very nice deal for myself I have accommodation and food provided + a nice paycheck. I work almost every day but it`s quite an easy job and when I have free time I can spend it all in beautiful nature, hiking, swimming in rivers, chilling in the forest. I work in my home country but I think I will do my next season somewhere abroad. For anyone interested, there are so many positions you can do as seasonal work during summer in the Alps (specifically I`m in Bovec in Slovenia). Most people I met here are guides for different activities: rafting, kayaking, canoeing, zipline, canyoning, etc. - literally getting paid to have fun! And these are people from all around the world (Chile, Argentina, France, Poland,..) working in Europe.
omg i have been so nervous to get into researching seasonal travel work and this video made me so comfortable! thank you for being transparent and helpful on what it’s like to be in that environment. i’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how i want to go about life and working to pay for an overpriced apartment is unrealistic and exhausting. i want to travel and also minimize my responsibilities and this may be it! however i don’t have a car and i’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing😬
also this video was so cute and friendly- it’s hard to keep my attention when learning about something but you made it entertaining and i sat through totally undistracted 😆 the bees had me weak. i’m always terrified they’ll get caught in my natural hair 🥴
Love your comment 😃 it pretty much sums up why I started working seasonal jobs. I don't have a car and I'll be honest, not having one means some places won't be a great option but I've been able to make it work I believe you could too. ✌🏼
Seasonal workers can come with slum lords. Just be careful with who you work for. Some will charge you most you wages for housing. I got lucky and make dang good money and get free housing but there a rarity.
Hey there Bria. What did you pack to carry with you for the job? Should we already have a pair of black, non-slip shoes with us? Anything else that we should have with us already? Thank you.
Hey so it definitely depends on the type of job you take but comfy footwear is so important!! I usually work the front desk so I bring the comfiest nondiscript black or brown shoes to work in. You'd benefit from that in other depts. such as housekeeping and anything in the kitchen. I try to really make sure I have everything I think I'll need for the first couple of weeks so that I'm not trying to get into town two days after arriving to get deodorant.
It would seem like, unless you have a lease at home, with housing expense covered, I could save money even at a lower wage. Concerning wages, I have no regard for the opinion of law makers. In my life, minimum wage is $17/hr.
Thank you for being so transparent with this I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while! I’m wondering could you possibly do a video about pets I’ve looked on the website and it says pet friendly jobs I would love to travel but I can’t leave my fur baby behind ! 😂
I can relate to you I used to work at a call center before I got laid off. I had terrible back pain and gained a lot of weight from being depressed from those bitchy callers
I swear working in call centers is so hard mentally and physically, terrible environments most of them. I gained something like 30 pounds in maybe two or three months after working there and was having severe pain in my fingers from the repetitive typing day in and day out trying to meet daily goals. I personally couldn't go back to that, just wasn't for me.
Whoa! I was going to work at Basin Harbor right before covid hit. Good for you! How was it!? Heard the housing sucks though lol. I am an h2b, well, was for the longest time so it’s nice to see content like this.
Yeaah the housing kinda does suck, It's an old property so the housing is old and often wasps and bugs get in because the windows are old and not sealed well. The food was worse, I talk about it more in-depth in one of my other videos, but they really gave employees whatever slop was cheapest. Would never recommend it.
@@bri_nicolex bullet dodged! Haha. Hey, would you mind tagging your video for that experience? Also, I know you don’t know me or anything, but if you ever wanted a guest on or something to speak about this life in any capacity put me down 🙂. Have a good one
Omg, last night i decided to look for a seasonal job with housing help and just saw you!! 💕💕 i dont like commiting to jobs long term so i figured this is perfect!
So without a car you have two options, you can either look for jobs located in towns with public transport options, or you can find jobs that provide employee shuttles. I've worked at two places so far that have employee shuttles and one that was in Breckenridge, CO that had free buses in town.
Typically that's your responsibility at best you might be able to find a place that's desperate to fill some positions that offer travel reimbursement.
Hi, howdy, do you know of any agencies that recruit employees for temporary jobs? I know of a few that hire all over the world. I know agencies keep a percentage of the salary you are earning, but they have a much more direct connection with the employer and can process H2B visas. It is one of my dreams to work abroad, I want to learn about other cultures. Greetings
I’m trying to find a job with housing for a couple months and then be able to pay for an apartment by myself but stay at the state or job if it is posible. 😩
Hey! Thanks for the comment. So I been on coolworks everyday narrowing down options for the winter season. Some stuff has already been posted so head over and take a look. If you have a specific state in mind you can always search for jobs by that state on the website.
Specifically I know the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes park, Co is hiring for the front desk, housekeeping and other departments. I also worked at Beaver run in Breckenridge last winter, they weren't too bad, housing was a bit old but nice.
I just found out about coolworks from another channel, and I am like super shocked. I never knew this was an option. Most jobs I can only stay at for 3-6 months, and I love to travel. This sounds like a great opportunity. I just might try it out!
I don’t know how being a digital nomad works with health insurance…. I don’t want to fly home every time for medical appointments or pay astronomical out of network prices. How do they pay for that?
I've seen some friends, couples, siblings, and a few married couples doing seasonal work together. Dating can be complicated though, as the nature of this whole thing is temporary. People are often in different situations in their lives when they meet while doing seasonal work. However, a few lucky ones do meet their partners while working. When It comes to pets, unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to find a place that will let you keep a pet in the employee housing.
I know some places specifically say, on their coolworks job posting, that they accept either J1 visas or the H2B visa. If you're looking for the winter time ski resorts are plentiful, resorts in general are a good option summer or winter. If you find a job that doesn't mention taking international applicants, don't be afraid to send them a quick emailbans ask. I've met alot of Jamaicans working seasonal jobs so I believe you'll certainly find a good place.
@@edwardsfamily3842 you'll definitely need one, it'll probably be the J1. Some places will assist you with the process and pay for it, as well as pay your flights. It's all about finding the right place. Ive heard from my HR rep that Florida has alot of places that help in that way. You might have to do some leg work, but there are places out there.
So I am headed to Montana for the summer but as far as the seasonal jobs I’ve already done I went to Estes park,CO twice and then Breckenridge which I absolutely loved breck. Also Vermont, I was at a smallish resort in a small town in Vermont last summer. It’s been fun for sure and overall a positive experience, I love meeting different kinds of people and I still stay in touch with people I’ve met at different places.

Unfortunately I know what you mean. You certainly have to be careful with the ones you choose.
I’d prefer this 1000% over working at the mall
Those eyeglasses are very flattering on you. Thank you for making this video. I'm ready to go.✌️

She’s so gorgeous and such a wonderful energy
Thank you 🙏🏼
Do you have to buy your plane ticket or bus ticket to get there or do the company do that?
Typically that's your responsibility at best you might be able to find a place that's desperate to fill some positions that offer travel reimbursement.
