Hi Nick. Get yourself a copy of: 'Work Your Way Around the World' by Susan Griffith, which can be bought on Ebay for 99pence and its bang up to date with all those useful telephone numbers you'll need. It will tell you everything you need to know about working in many different foreign countries (especially Western one) including tax, visas, jabs etc. It will also tell you about travel to and around those countries. Best of all it will supply you with a range of travellers' tales giving you the benefit of their experience and wisdom, sometimes hard won! Enjoy yourself!

Good to hear!

 

Once you get settled in, please take the time to post back (in this thread, or a new one), telling about your experience of your relocation. Accommodation, pay, work conditions, nightlife, ...

 

This will make it easier for other "would-be expats" to make up their minds.

the problem i have is that i did a aboriculte college course and was going well but as i had a fall out with the company i was working for at the time i ended up leaving them and the college would not let me finish off my course till i found a new employer, i have got all my tickets and 3 years experience just not classed as 'qualified' its a pain in the arse!

What nptc's did you leave college with, if you can get a good reference from your latest employer that may help. Where are you looking to work ?

nick, tell us about your experience, would you say your a very good climber? by that I mean can you carry out a wide variety of general treework jobs in a time and manner that allows your employer to make a profit?
