Working Holidays Abroad For Over 50s

Adventure travel is an exciting prospect, offering the opportunity for tourists to visit unusual destinations around the globe, such as the Bornean rainforest all the way through to distant tropical islands. One of the most popular ways to engage in adventure travel, in recent years, is to take part in a ‘working holiday’ – but did you know that there are working holidays abroad for over 50s?

While the idea of a working holiday may conjure up the image of university-aged adults toiling away in wheat fields, we’re proud to offer something a little better than that – and the door is open for volunteers of all ages!

Over 50s are often overlooked in terms of the adventure travel market, but a willingness to aid conservation efforts may have had you wondering how you could help. Look no further than right here at The Great Projects: over the last few years, we’ve seen how much our 50+ volunteers have contributed to the success of projects across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, helping to rehabilitate a number of threatened species or even working towards marine research efforts. Age doesn’t have to be a barrier – all we ask is that you have a willingness to get involved, and together we can make a difference to wildlife conservation across the world!
