Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Greenland?

  • The largest island in the world, a land of extremes. Greenland is not for every backpacker or traveler and a visit requires good preparation. In winter you can experience the snow and the northern lights, in summer you can hike, climb, kayak. In addition, it is not easy to travel around, there are hardly any roads, so if you want to go from one place to another you can take a boat. Otherwise, it is recommended to stay one or two weeks in one place.
  • Activity spotting: hiking, climbing, kayaking, nature spotting, learning about the local culture, wildlife tours.

Studying in Greenland?

  • With one university, there is not much to choose from in Greenland. The University of Greenland offers a small selection of English studies, especially related to local culture, society and nature.

Internship in Greenland?

  • There are few internship options in Greenland. If you are looking for an internship, opportunities include research institutions or tech companies.
Back to top

Volunteering in Greenland?

  • For volunteering you can go to individuals through volunteer websites, or for example in the tourism industry and education.
Back to top

Working in Greenland?

  • There are few jobs. As a foreigner, your best chance is in the tourism industry as a guide, or as an English teacher.

Working as a digital nomad in Greenland?

  • You can hardly find much more off-the-beaten-path. Few digital nomads travel to this part of the world, which is precisely why it is a very special experience. For example, visit Nuuk and experience how the Vikings used to live. Make sure you have money, because it is not cheap.

Living in Greenland?

  • The standard of living is quite high in Nuuk, the capital. In other parts of the country it can vary quite a bit. The people are friendly and hospitable, but be sure to familiarize yourself with the traditions and learn some Greenlandic.
  • It is also important to consider the extreme temperatures, daylight hours (both summer and winter) and the language.

Activities abroad

    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.
    Back to top

    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)?
