Working at an ecolodge, guesthouse or hotel abroad: what is it, why would you do it and where is the best place to go?

Working at an ecolodge, guesthouse or hotel abroad: what is it, why would you do it and where is the best place to go?

  • Activities: the work can range from reception work and maintenance work to sometimes managing a local employee
  • Salary: from room and board to a salary that allows you to provide for yourself
  • Accommodation: In most cases, you will stay at the accommodation itself. Sometimes you sleep in a tent or you can bring your own tent

Why would you work at a hotel, guesthouse or ecolodge abroad?

  • To stimulate your sense of involvement: you often work very intensively with the same people at a hotel or accommodation for a long time, you often also sleep in a room with them: you have to like that, but you also make friends for life. To make the world around you more sustainable: by looking for work at an ecolodge or sustainable accommodation you can combine your work and interests nicely.
  • To be profitable in a creative way: Some owners will not be able to pay you a salary, but offer a place to sleep and food in exchange for work.
  • To gain new experiences: During your stay abroad and when you go to work, you will experience much more than if you were to travel around alone.
  • To increase your self-awareness: further away from your familiar environment, you will discover more quickly what you can actually do and what you actually want. By going to work, you will encounter yourself more often, get to know yourself better and accept who you are and want to be.
  • To test your environmental awareness: by living and working in special places in the world, you will experience a foreign culture in a completely different and more authentic way.

What do you need if you want to work at a hotel, hostel or ecolodge?

  • Be environmentally aware: wherever you work, you will always have to take your environment into account. Every country has its own rules and customs that you will have to adhere to to a certain extent
  • Being aware of the organization: every organization also has its own way of looking at hospitality and hospitality. Here too, you will have to take more into account. Just like with the limitations/challenges that some schools have due to a lack of money or facilities
  • Communication skills: knowledge of the local language is not a must but it is a big advantage and in addition you will often have to be able to communicate well with the guests of the accommodation where you will be working
  • Professionalism: on some days and certainly during the high season you will have to work hard
  • Flexibility: the weather conditions, the behavior of animals and the growth of plants do not always go according to plan, which means that your flexibility will often be called upon
  • Collaboration skills: being able or learning to collaborate with local managers, owners and employees

What is the best place to go when you want to work at a hotel, hostel or ecolodge abroad?

  • Working in backpacker hostels: Mexico, Peru, New Zealand
  • Working in hotels: Spain, Austria, Curacao
  • Working in ecolodges: South Africa, Costa Rica, Caribbean, Malawi

To what extent are you insured for risks if you work at a hotel, hostel or ecolodge abroad?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad
  • During work, internship or volunteer work abroad the coverage of your own local health insurance normally expires. You then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents. Local employers usually offer no, or limited, supplementary insurance.
  • There is a chance of accidents because, for example, you are doing work with which you have little experience.
  • A number of specialized insurances offer opportunities to do (temporary) paid work abroad.
  • See the pages about insuring paid work abroad and the pages about your health care costs abroad.

Activities abroad: home page

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)?
