Step out of your comfort zone
Traveling and working takes courage. Take the leap of faith to discover yourself and the world around you. We're here to guide you.
We'll Be There Every Step Of The Way
We simplify your experience by handling all the logistics of getting you hired, organizing the travel to your destination and securing your housing. Follow our 6 easy steps and you’ll be on your way to traveling, having fun and getting paid.
Spend less time on our application and more time dreaming up your perfect experience – we’re here to help!
Step 1
Start Here - Explore Your Options
We partner with employers across the country to offer you a location and job that match what you are looking for. Since our specific employer needs are always changing, we list sample jobs and current program locations for your exploration.
Complete your application here
We keep it simple – tell us about your background, interests in a destination work experience and we'll match you to a variety of options that match the time of year, jobs you're interested in, hobbies you want to pursue in the destination and your budgeting goals.
Step 2
Onboarding
Now that you have completed your basic application, schedule time with one of our Adventure Guides to talk through all the details of our programs. Once accepted into the program, you will sign our Program Terms & Conditions and pay your program fee.
Our Program Fee of $495 is to cover our support, mentorship, program & job placement, access to our housing and participation in our curriculum.
Our program is cost-positive which means we expect you to earn money on the program after the cost of the program fee, travel expenses and living expenses during the program.
Now you’ll submit the following information:
- Existing Resume - we can make your first one together if you don't have a resume yet
- Travel Timeline and Goals
Your Adventure Guide is here to guide you – ask them all the questions you have! We'll get you enrolled in our curriculum to help prepare you to succeed on our program and developing independent living skills.

Step 3
Getting Hired
Now that you’ve been enrolled, we will start sending you positions that match your profile. You tell us which ones you want to pursue!
In the meantime, your Adventure Guide will prepare you for your interview(s) and update your resume in our proven-template.
Your Adventure Guide is your personal contact with AdventureEXP – don’t hesitate to reach out for anything and everything!
Important Information on this Step
This step takes the longest because we’re finding you the right placement for your experience and that takes time! Because our partner employers have seasonal needs, depending on the time you submit your application will affect how quickly you move through this step.
Expect to have multiple interviews.
You will have a secured placement at least 4 weeks before your departure.
We will stay in touch with you weekly with new positions and all of our travel resources.

- Your Adventure Guide will coordinate your travel itinerary with you – driving or flying – we’ve got you covered!
