Oyster Worldwide: Your Ultimate Gap Year, Career Break, and Responsible Travel Specialist
Are you looking for a meaningful way to spend your gap year or career break? Do you want to explore the world while making a positive impact on local communities and the environment? Look no further than Oyster Worldwide – your ultimate gap year, career break, and responsible travel specialist.
At Oyster Worldwide, we believe that travel should be more than just sightseeing and relaxation. It should also be an opportunity to learn new skills, gain valuable work experience, and contribute to sustainable development. That's why we offer a wide range of paid work and volunteer projects in 26 diverse countries around the world.
Whether you're interested in teaching English in Thailand, working on a wildlife conservation project in South Africa, or interning at a fashion company in Australia – we have something for everyone. Our projects last from one week up to 52 weeks depending on your availability and interests.
But what sets us apart from other travel companies is our commitment to responsible tourism. We believe that travel can have both positive and negative impacts on local communities and the environment. That's why we carefully select our partners based on their ethical practices and sustainability efforts.
We also provide pre-departure training for all our participants so that they can make the most of their experience abroad while minimizing any negative impacts. Our training covers topics such as cultural awareness, environmental conservation, health & safety, as well as practical skills related to each project.
Moreover, we encourage our participants to immerse themselves in local cultures by staying with host families or participating in cultural activities. This not only enhances their personal growth but also supports local economies by providing income opportunities for locals.
In addition to our paid work and volunteer projects abroad, we also offer language courses (such as Spanish immersion programs), adventure tours (such as trekking in Nepal), internships (in various fields such as journalism or medicine), and TEFL courses (for those interested in teaching English abroad).
We understand that planning a gap year or career break can be overwhelming, especially if it's your first time traveling abroad. That's why we provide personalized support throughout the entire process – from choosing the right project to preparing for departure and returning home.
Our team of experienced travel advisors is available to answer any questions you may have and provide guidance based on their own travel experiences. We also have a 24/7 emergency support line in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
In conclusion, Oyster Worldwide is not just another travel company – we are a responsible tourism organization that aims to make a positive impact on the world while providing life-changing experiences for our participants. Join us on your next adventure and discover the world in a meaningful way!
