We're often asked

We think so! We have payment plans available so if your funds are low but your desire to travel and see the world is high, don’t stress. Pay off your trip in instalments that you choose.

We understand that life is unexpected! If you find yourself suddenly unable to travel, we’re able to keep your deposit on hold under our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee. It simply means you can put your trip on hold indefinitely and get in touch with us again when the time is right. Additionally, your deposit is transferable between our working holiday, volunteer, aupair, teach or internship trips, but unfortunately not adventure tours. You can also transfer your trip to friends or family.

Working Holiday & Internship: In the northern hemisphere, May to July is the best time to arrive to enjoy the summer. For winter, it is best to arrive in late October or very early November. The best time to go skiing in Canada is from November until March. For Australia and New Zealand, the best time to arrive to enjoy the summer season is the beginning of September. If you want to come for winter, the best time to arrive would be the beginning of June. However, we accept arrivals all year round!

Au Pair: Most families need au pairs at the beginning of the school term, but this month differs between countries. In the northern hemisphere, it’s usually September which is the beginning of Autumn and in the southern hemisphere it’s usually January which is the summer season. It is, however, possible to match with families all year round. Short term placements in Europe are also quite popular for the Summer starting in June.

Teach: Some schools and language institutes have semesters. We suggest for the schools that have these term times to go at the beginning of the semester. We recommend using our guidelines found on each trip page to find the best time of year to go for you, however, most of our teach trips have intakes all year round.

Volunteer: As our volunteer trips are in various parts of the world, we recommend using our guidelines found on each trip page to find the best time of year to go for you. We suggest to avoid the rainy and wet seasons, some volunteer trips have specific times of the year to be present for the hatching and infant stages of animals. Most of our volunteer trips accept intakes all year round though.
