From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?

      What is the best travel and departure time for El Salvador?

      • El Salvador has a climate with relatively few major temperature fluctuations throughout the year.
      • Precipitation is a more limiting factor for those traveling, living, studying or working through the country.
      • Altitude is also an influence, with stably warm conditions on the coast and in the lowlands, cooler mountain areas and freezing temperatures at the highest elevations.

      Best travel time in El Salvador

      • From November to April is the dry season in El Salvador. It rains little then and the roads are in good condition.

      What is the best time to travel in Guatemala and what is the worst time to go?

      What is the best time to travel in Guatemala and what is the worst time to go?

      What is the best travel and departure time for Guatemala?

      • Because of the differences in altitude, there is much difference in Guatemala's climate. Within a few hours you leave the cold mountains and arrive in the humid warmth of the coast. The higher you are, the cooler it is. Especially after the sun goes down, it can get chilly and even cold quickly. This starts as early as Antigua which is at about 1,700 meters. On the coast it is almost always sunny and humid hot, sometimes with intense but liberating thunderstorms.

      Best travel time in Guatemala?

      • The most ideal time to travel is between mid-November and January. The rainy season leaves behind a green country, but the drawbacks of the rainy season (storms, impassable roads, flooding) are pretty much over.

      Worst travel time in Guatemala?

      • The months of March and April, especially in the lower areas (Pacific coast, Tikal, Livingstone), are quite hot.

      Hours of sunshine in Guatemala?

      • Count on about 8 hours a day of sunshine in the months of January and February and 2 hours a day in the months of June and July.

      What is the best travel and departure time for Panama?

      • Panama has a tropical climate, ranging from a tropical rainforest climate along the border areas with Costa Rica and Colombia to a monsoon climate in the west and a tropical savanna climate in central Panama. Wherever you go in Panama, everywhere is tropically warm with temperatures around 30 degrees.
      • In spring, from February to May, temperatures can reach 34-35 degrees. Because there is always a fairly high relative humidity, Panama always feels clammy and stuffy.
      • Most of Panama has a rainy season, which runs from early May to mid-December. With the exception of the rain forests, most rain falls in the form of often very heavy showers, which can sometimes last for several hours during the rainy season. In the tropical rain forests, there is a very good chance of prolonged rains during the monsoon period.

      Best travel time in Panama

      Worst travel time in Panama
