6 Bad@%$ Work Abroad Programs for Grown-@%$ Adults

Let’s face it: while the bank of mom and dad was once an excellent option for an interest-free loan (*cough* handout *cough*) for traveling the globe, one day you’ve got to stand on your own two grown-up feet.

Ok, we know that all work and no play makes Jack (well, any traveler) a dull boy. Which is why there’s no better way than to fulfil wanderlust and calm those itchy feet than with paid work abroad programs . Yup, you read that correctly: it is possible to work and travel, all while leaving your parents busting with pride, your peers marvelling over your Insta-perfect photos, and your future employers swooning over the new skills etched onto your resume.

But how can you track down these barely believable workplace adventures, aka work abroad programs for adults? Well, my friend, I’m glad you asked. Let me introduce you to the land of work AND play, a place where novice skiers can transform to pros in a season and where a TEFL certificate can get you a teaching job in literally any part of the world.

[ Read the GoAbroad Top Travel Destinations Report for 2018 ]

Hand picked (and paid) work abroad programs.

While the experience you gain will be worth your weight (x100) in gold, it doesn’t hurt to earn some cash in exchange for putting all of those hours in. That’s why we’ve brought you this shortlist of paid work abroad programs, in Europe , Australia , and beyond.

1. Become a friend to the ocean and get paid to help with turtle conservation.

Try that whole “find-work-you-really-believe-in” thing by conserving marine life while you work abroad

Few paid work abroad programs are as turtley awesome as this one: working with the little critters on the enchanting shores of Cape Verde, a small archipelago of ten volcanic islands off the coast of West Africa.

Ideally, you should have previous experience and an insatiable passion for tagging, monitoring and practically living and breathing all things turtle. But if not, never fear; instead, check out these volunteering programs where you can lend a helping hand working with marine wildlife and quickly gain all the skills you need to apply.

Ultimately, this is a pretty niche job and one of the paid work abroad programs ideal for anyone with an undergrad in marine biology or an interest in moving into this field of work.

2. Get your hands dirty in the Australian outback.

Trade in your city life for the desert — you won’t regret it

News flash: it’s not just kids who get all the fun. No, while Australia might be top of the list of places for an adventure travel program abroad , grown-ups can go down under and learn what life’s really like in the outback with a rural work program in Australia.

Don’t worry, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself reliving the reptile wrestling highlights of Crocodile Dundee; instead, you’re more likely to be working as a ranch hand, driving a tractor around the outback, or galloping through the red dusty lands of the Australian backwaters on your own horse.

This job probably isn’t for anyone who minds getting their hands a bit dirty and who isn’t so sure about getting a bit more up-close and personal with Australia’s frankly bonkers selection of mildly dangerous animals. But if you’ve got a sense of adventure and a desire to get off-the-beaten-track in one of the world’s most popular places for traveling, then this is the ultimate bada$$ work abroad program for you.

3. Say bonjour to a ski pass and a season cooking up a storm in Switzerland.

Get paid to work abroad and ski? Yes please.

For most wanting to learn how to work and travel, the hospitality industry is often the most obvious choice, particularly for those with little experience in other sectors and with a desire to work anywhere across the globe.

Sure, the old adage “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” is true; working in a professional kitchen is certainly not for the faint-hearted. But if you know your way around a stove and can identify a knuckle pounder from a mortar and pestle in a line up, a job as a chef at an international Swiss ski camp is not just a great way to grow your resume but gives you plenty of chances to hit the slopes and, well, cool down a little.

Not quite so comfortable in the kitchen? Call yourself “Soux” and get yourself a role as a hotel kitchen assistant . You won’t be getting rich quick, but with the wages enough to keep you in a ski pass and beer for the season - and plenty of free time to learn how to nollie and powder slash with the best of them – you’ll find that a job in the hospitality industry is one of the most ideal work abroad programs for adults.

But if you’re after more than just a slice of the adventure in the afternoons and weekend, instead hit the slopes for the season, with a season training at a world-class resort in Banff, Kelowna, Revelstoke or Vancouver to become snowboard level one coaching qualified.

While this does require some initial outlay to get you trained, it does come with a guaranteed job offer. So once you’re able to skim down those slopes with the elegance of a swan on skis (well, maybe better), you won’t be looking back!

4. Grab your pen and get copywriting in Peru.

Can you capture the essence of travel with the written word?

If you’re a bit more handy with, well, your hands and a pen, there are plenty of other work abroad programs to strike your fancy. Jet off to Peru for an entry level copywriter position where you’ll write content for various websites, all while attending Spanish classes and getting to know your way around South America’s most delectable culinary city, Lima.

You’ll also find that with weekends free to hop on a plane and head over to the grand Inca citadel, aka Machu Picchu in the south-east of the country or checking out the waves at Peru’s top beach resort, Mancora, you’ll hardly feel like you’re working.

5. Live in Europe’s most magical cities as a summer school director.

Trade in your silly songs and CTF for a much more epic summer camp experience

Culture vultures will want to sink their teeth into work and travel abroad programs that see you living in some of Europe’s most charming cities: Florence, Barcelona, Milan, or Rome.

Regardless of whether you’re a qualified teacher, graduate student or undergrad hoping to widen their skillset and live in some truly magical cities, this job is the way of spending summer abroad – and earning some cheeky euros along the way.

6. The most versatile work abroad program of them all: teach English anywhere in the world!

Teaching English is a popular and lucrative paid work abroad program

One of the most tried and tested ways of finding a paid work abroad program is through a TEFL course: aka a qualification for teaching English that proves you know your salt when it comes to irregular verbs, the tenses, and can at least start to explain why English spelling makes absolutely no sense.

The possibilities of spending a month or even more teaching English anywhere in the world are endless and open to applicants whether they’ve already studied for a TEFL certificate or not (If you’re the latter, check out our huge selection of accredited TEFL courses , read about these TEFL courses that practically guarantee you a job and how to ace those interviews for teaching English abroad ).

Expect to pay upwards of $1,000 to study abroad and then watch as the job offers rake in: whether teaching alongside the Pope (well, nearly) in the Vatican City or chowing down on bratwurst and a stein of local bier at any one of Germany’s most lively cities, such as Munich, Berlin, or Hamburg .

[ See ALL options for work abroad programs for adults ]

Make your dreams of working and traveling abroad come true.

We promise you: work and travel abroad are not just the stuff that warm, fuzzy dreams are made of - it is possible to make a wage and see the globe at its finest. But all the best work abroaders follow some simple slices of advice.

Program reviews matter.

The best work abroad experiences are those where the keen applicant has done his or her homework and so there aren’t any surprises when they arrive. This is where program reviews and chatting to previous participants come into play. Remember, working abroad isn’t just about you working for an employer, it’s the job itself working for both of you.

There are hundreds of reviews available about jobs abroad , so always be sure to check them out and don’t be shy to contact the program to ask to be put in touch with someone else who’s done the program before and can give you the lowdown.

Nail the application.

Firstly, applying for positions that suit your experiences or interests is a sure-fire way of making sure you make a good impression on your employers and enjoy every moment of your time abroad - not just those hours spent outside of work (Psst, you can sometimes even get a job overseas with no experience !).

Take it seriously.

Secondly, don’t be the person who treats a job abroad less seriously than one back in your home country. Prove you’ve mastered the art of adulting and be their star employee. Not only will you be guaranteed some stellar references, but it might even lead to you being asked to come back again next year.

Leave your preconceptions at home.

Finally, leave your preconceptions at home. Arriving with an open-mind to the cultural differences that you’ll no doubt encounter and behaving like an excitable sponge as you soak them all up is the magic sauce for a truly unforgettable experience working abroad.

We’re just getting started with paid work abroad programs! ?

After-work clinks to your amazing life abroad

Finding work abroad that can pay the bills and give you a wealth of experience might sound too good to be true, but lucky for you, those opportunities are out there. Be diligent in your hunt and match your skills to job availability. Most importantly, be flexible and adaptable — two key skills any expat can surely attest to the importance of. Life abroad doesn’t always go as planned (though we do our best to help plan for potential risks ), but it’s always worth the ride. Enjoy!

Figuring out which remote work and travel program is right for you

I’ll just be frank: I did Remote Year on the four-month program, and Dan did Remote Year twice: the first time on the year-long 12-month program, and the second time on the four-month program with me.

There are other remote work and travel programs out there, though, and some are best for certain types of people.

In this guide, I’ll outline what to know about a lot of the group programs that let you work remotely and see the world. We have friends who have done a whole slew of them, and have given us feedback and told us about their experiences first-hand.

I’ll clear up common misconceptions about each, and you can do the math on which ones you want to apply to.

I’m also going to clarify some things about companies that seem like remote work and travel programs (but aren’t), as well as some to avoid!

Remote Year

Remote Year , founded in 2016, was probably the first groundbreaking “remote work and travel program” everyone heard about. That was a while ago, and working remotely (and traveling) is SO much more commonplace now.

When Dan joined Remote Year, we had to explain the concept of working remotely around the world and traveling with a group of people, and people couldn’t wrap their heads around it. Nowadays, it’s almost as if everyone knows someone who has done one of these programs.

Main summary of what to know

Remote Year operates with lots of opportunities for travel programs to join, ranging from one week to one year. The company offers destinations at every corner of the world, with staff to help you and guide you along the way in order to have the best time.

For me, the main benefits of Remote Year was the community , as well as the vetted coworking spaces, group activities, connections to local culture, awesome staff and for sure, the alumni community that I’ve been connected to ever since we ended our program in Mexico City.

Why are coworking spaces such a huge part of remote work and travel programs? See all the benefits of coworking spaces that a Remote Year trip taught me about.

Who it’s for

Honestly, as someone who thought that remote work and travel programs were only for engineers and web developers, Remote Year was great for me . I worked part-time for my employer in NYC in business operations, and the other part of my time was spent on content creation for this website, as well as some media that Remote Year eventually used on their website.

Our Remote Year cohort was full of people of diverse backgrounds. Our fellow participants worked as salespeople, writers, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, real estate professionals, jewelry designers, consultants and more. Many became my friends, and all in all, I learned how to work remotely and travel in a way that let me excel.

I can’t possibly describe my entire Remote Year experience here, so I would urge you to check out my guide called, What is Remote Year? to learn more. Remote Year totally changed my life (for the better!) and I’m so glad I took that one day to convince my boss to let me work remotely and travel .

An alternative to Remote Year, WiFi Tribe has been described by friends of ours as being more basic, but with the details I’m going to share here. The info below is from a friend who has done multiple WiFi Tribe trips.

Here are a few main points about WiFi Tribe, and what sets this remote work group trip program apart.

Main summary

WiFi Tribe offers the three key elements to working remotely and traveling with a program: a place to work, accommodation and a community of friends (participants).
Less “structure:” While Remote Year offers LOTS of programming and “experiences” to add to your week, WiFi Tribe does not. The key idea is that the group plans what it wants, organically.
Community is STRONG: the group functions wholesomely, which is a big positive for a lot of people who choose WT exactly for this reason. For someone worried about the pros and cons of being a digital nomad , WT solves the fear of isolation.
Autonomy: there are no hard feelings if someone wants to dip in and out, and “do their own thing;” in the same way, anyone is welcome to plan something for the group.
Participant curation: While it has been pretty clear that Remote Year accepts basically anyone who can prove that they work remotely, want to travel and want to do the program for the right reasons (in my experience), WiFi Tribe is known to reject 80% or so of applicants, thereby creating groups of people who are vetted for a personality fit — a lot like getting a job!
Group sizes: Groups in WT are intimate, between 10 and 30 participants in total.

WiFi Tribe’s website currently says, “Our current experiences are designed for people between the ages of 21 and 45. This helps us keep lifestyle expectations aligned. We’re hoping to build out experiences for all ages in the future.” Keep this in mind for if you don’t fall within these limits, or, if you are seeking a program that does not have age restrictions.

WiFi Tribe is, based on the above parameters, for people who are “really community-oriented” and who want to meet and connect with other professionals while seeing the world.

WT participants have hailed from more than 60 nationalities in the curated communities. There is a big emphasis on sharing values, getting the right “fit” of incredible people in each group and “togetherness.”

I think the WiFi Tribe website , even in its main page, does a great job of spelling out the community’s aims right from the get-go.

Another friend of ours was rejected from joining WiFi Tribe because they did not work enough hours per week, while owning their own business, when they quoted their work schedule in an application. WT rejected this person on the grounds of this person potentially not fitting in with the schedule that the majority of community members have. You can see how the curation works in this way.

Hacker Paradise

Hacker Paradise, or HP, was also one of the original work and travel community-based programs that debuted in the mid 2010s with the rise of remote work. This “work from anywhere” attitude is present in the company’s mantra of “Work Hard, Travel Far.”

We also have a friend who did Hacker Paradise several times as a community participant, and I want to share this person’s findings on what makes HP different from WT and RY.

Key summary of the program

Structure: Two program leaders plan events during every month and each destination.
What your program fee gets you: accommodations in each city, a coworking space with WiFi, a SIM or eSIM for cell signal, the “community” and repeating events like Monday lunches (included in the fee), Tuesday potluck dinners, Wednesday Skill Share events, Thursday “meaningful conversation” get-togethers and Thursday “nights out.”
Weekends: on a HP trip, weekends are free time, when people in the community might plan something like an activity, or group leaders may plan something. Every weekend is different. If the group does something held by an external vendor, there are no up-charges (which are common on RY experiences).

Who it’s best for

Hacker Paradise is actually not just for computer hackers, as the name sounds. As I looked on the website under their People tab, HP is for people of all professions, like writers, entrepreneurs, developers, artists researches, designers and more.

HP is best for people who are seeking the structure offered, and personally, I think this is really great because I crave structure. I also crave structure when I’m away from my regular routine of home, and looking for exactly that: structure.

Recap and comparison of the top 3 work and travel programs

Let’s summarize the top 3 “work from anywhere” travel programs for remote professionals in the most boiled-down way possible. Hopefully this could help you choose which one is right for you if you’re interested in these top 3.

Remote Year : Lots of events, participants can be as group-oriented OR as autonomous as they want, lots of staff and support, lots of expectation.
WiFi Tribe : Highly curated community, focus on values, fewer structural elements like fewer formal events on the calendar
Hacker Paradise : A mix of both of the above, and falls in the middle, with mildly-curated groups, a mix of group events, autonomy is welcomed and a focus on community.

Now it’s time to see more work and travel programs and compare their benefits and styles.

What is Outsite ? My friend Jena “did” an Outsite house in Puerto Rico . Outsite is a formalized coliving type of environment, or “program,” you could call it.

Outsite calls itself, “Beautiful places to stay, designed for remote workers.” This means it is a coliving program, designed for people who want to come live at a house with a community. It was born from a desire to work in beautiful locations around the world.

The company has more than 50 locations worldwide and has more than 5000 members who have participated in the Outsite houses.

The “houses” have local experiences, shared spaces for working, and community initiatives like events with nonprofits in the region.

The “community” is what you get when you become a “ Member .” By becoming a member, it doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to live immediately at one of the houses for a period of time; it means you get access to choosing which you’ll go to first, and encourages you to visit and stay at more and more Outsite locations.

In short, Outsite is for if you want to latch on immediately to a close community in a gorgeous destination far from home. Showing up at an Outsite house, maybe even only for two weeks, is a good amount of time to try traveling and working remotely.

What to know about Outsite is that unlike RY, HP and WT, pepole go in and out of the location you’re in. This can potentially create a feeling of transience: someone is always leaving, and someone else is always showing up.

This isn’t a group that travels together; rather, it’s you who’s doing the traveling, and meeting different (transient) communities around the world who share Outsite values.

Noma Collective

I engaged a bunch with Noma Collective over the years, and spoke to the founders and leaders of the company over a video call once to learn about their Belize retreat. From what I see, NOMA focuses more on “wellness” than other programs, and escaping the walls of a traditional 9-to-5.

Noma Collective’s tagline is, “Bring your job, we’ll bring the world.” The company brings participants the full digital nomad experience by offering accommodations (usually apartments or hotels), coworking environments, daily events and “wellness.”

Included in the fees are things like logistics planning, excursions and events, as well as the community itself.

While I was most interested in joining NOMA’s coworking program in Belize, the company also offers places like Kenya, Guatemala, Portugal, Argentina, Morocco, Spain and Panama under the current offerings.

Venture with Impact

VWI’s founder (Ann) reached out to me a while ago to ask to make sure to include the company in lists of ours like this one.

Venture with Impact is a special organization, and the way Ann phrased the company to me was, “Each of our participants is partnered with a local non-profit to engage in a pro-bono project.”

So what VWI is, in essence, is a “coworking retreat” where participants can work remotely AND at the same time, work on a volunteer project that fosters professional development. The three tenets are LIVE - WORK - IMPACT and the retreats are 30 days long.

The current location offerings are Mexico City and Lisbon, Portugal (two of my favorite cities on Earth). There are also special one-week retreats and “custom retreats” for five people or more.

SOJRN is popularizing the idea of “studying abroad as an adult,” which is exactly how I once described Remote Year. SOJRN calls their experiences “chapters,” and mostly focuses on destinations like Italy, Colombia and Bali.

A lot of the SOJRN trips have a theme, like “Spanish in Medellin” or “wine in Tuscany.” Participatns will work remotely while staying in a place with a group, and create an unforgettable journey for everyone.

What I like about SOJRN are the missions and values: SOJRN emphasizes “slow travel,” to respectfully engage with new cultures, and positive impact, which means giving back to the communities that the group visits.

I’ve heard about Unsettled for a few years, and I wanted to know what made this program different. While it’s a younger program than the others, there does seem to be a focus on entrepreneurship and creativity from the get-go, with the company’s intro as, “Unsettled is a global travel community for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and creatives who are on a mission to live and work differently.”

Here are some things to know about Unsettled:

Programs are anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks in places like Greece, Italy, Croatia, Bali and Peru.
Unsettled has deep and though-provoking values like fueling inspiration, discovering the world around us, seeking purpose and pushing boundaries.
Unsettled participants like to ADVENTURE, whether by doing adrenaline-inducing activities or pushing their limits together.
Participants are mostly in their 30s to 50s, so you can expect a more “mature” crew in any cohort.

Nomad Train

Nomad Train held the first-ever “longest coworking journey by train” in 2017 when the program began. I think you have to love trains to try out Nomad Train as your work and travel retreat, which makes this type of experience pretty niche.

Nomad Train has (according to the website) had around 100 participants since the company’s maiden voyage. And there are really “out there” locations that these trips explore, like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

I think in summary, Nomad Train is an extreme type of remote work and travel program, and I mean “extreme” in a good way! Most people think of Bali, or Western Europe, for their coworking adventure, but Nomad Train has brought remote workers to Russia and the Trans-Siberian Railroad as a way of taking groups of professionals on big trips.

Coworkations (Warning: not a remote work and travel program)

I learned about Coworkations from a blog called Career Addict , listing the best programs for working remotely and traveling. I believe it incorrectly lists Coworkations, which is not a program in itself, but rather, a database of “work anywhere” programs around the world.

While “Coworkations” is not a brand of a certain program, what it does let you do on the website is filter by location or “theme” (like “fitness” or “foodie trips”). In your results, you will get trips from companies I mention above, like Hacker Paradise and Noma Collective.

I wanted to make this crystal clear because sites are listing Coworkations as “one of the best programs,” but it is not a program at all: it’s a website.

Behere : not a work and travel program

Behere is like an “Airbnb for digital nomads.” That’s right: if you read this piece from Fast Company about Behere , you can learn about how this “program” of sorts lets professionals safely find accommodation (as well as coworking spaces and fitness studios) in new cities where they want to be digital nomads.

Unlike the other remote work and travel programs that have you traveling with the community, Behere allows you to be part of the local community by living in a place where you can work remotely and enjoy your surroundings.

If you want to consider the digital nomad lifestyle without the strings attached of a constant stream of events or structure, Behere creates a way to “just go live somewhere else” but not deal with the overwhelm of finding a place to live from scratch.

There are some membership fees, and I’d suggest reading the FAQ to see how Behere works in practice.

Selina : not a work and travel program (but some people think it is)

I want to make this clear: I’ve seen sites like OwlLabs and Freaking Nomads list Selina as a work and travel program for remote professionals. It is not.

What Selina is

I’ve done Selina stays, and I’ve coworked as well at Selina locations without staying there. Selina is a hostel company that caters to digital nomads and the digital nomad travel lifestyle. Each hostel (located in many parts of the world, but mostly Latin America and Europe) has fun events, social mixers, tour excursion opportunities, cool “vibes” and trendy decor.

There are also coworking spaces at most Selina locations where you can buy anything from a day pass membership to a month of membership in order to work remotely with WiFi in a professional environment (where people will probably be wearing flip flops and hoodies).

I’ve stayed at Selina locations (hostels/hotels) in:

Cartagena, Colombia
Chicago, IL, USA
Cancun, Mexico
Mexico City, Mexico

And I’ve been a CoWork member at Selina in:

Medellin, Colombia

The best job I’ve done of explaining how Selina works is at our Selina Mexico City Downtown review , where I talk about our accommodation, the coworking space and things like the shared kitchen for longer-term stays, like ours.

Selina is good for someone who wants to travel and work remotely, maybe on their own or with a buddy, and potentially meet new people who are also traveling solo and lapto-ping.

What Selina is not

Selina is not a work-and-travel program for remote professionals. In my Selina experiences, there was not much done to group together the people who were there to work remotely, versus those who were 18 years old and on a college holiday vacation.

In staying at Selina, you have to know that the locations are all hostels first (as I see it), and have coworking spaces second . This means everyone is staying at Selina, but not everyone is working. If this is an environment that speaks to you, the benefit is that you can drop in and out of working and feel like you are on vacation.

So, Selina is best for being on vacation and having access to a place to also do work, or, traveling on your own, having the ability to meet other travelers and doing whatever you want on your own schedule.

Nomadize (red flag)

I saw Nomadize publicizing remote work and travel programs, but just using my best judgement by finding my way around the website, I’m not going to recommend this company.

All of the programs say “almost available” (what does that mean?), or “coming soon,” meaning they have nothing available right now. The company’s social media also doesn’t show any real participants or testimonials.

JoinMyTrip “Coworking Trips” (red flag, but only for remote work trips)

I came across JoinMyTrip from another website, and had to look into it. The website claimed to offer “300 trips,” which is really a lot, and uses the motto, “Experience Relaxing Group Trips.” This is all fine, as I perused the trips, which are anything from trekking Scotland to exploring Japan.

At the very bottom of the website, there is a button called “Remote Working.” I clicked it, and got a blank page. Plus, in the “How It Works” page, there are no mentions of remote work or coworking at all.

I’d avoid this one if I were you, but their regular trips seem fine based on 5000+ good reviews on TrustPilot.

WiFi Artists

WiFi Artists is one of the younger work-and-travel-remotely programs. It has a simple tag phrase of, “A community of remote workers, entrepreneurs and digital nomads building connections and exploring the world together.”

All programs include accommodation, coworking spaces, connecting with a group and cultural experiences.

According to the website currently, programs are geared toward participants of ages 24 to 45. There is an ‘extremely’ high emphasis on group participant selection.

See how WiFi Artists works .

Figuring out which remote work and travel program is right for you

There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a program, as you can see. I tend to think that what’s most important is the legitimacy of the program or company, and the types of people it attracts.

What I’ve learned by going on the Remote Year program is that it attracts literally all kinds of people, and I think that is true for a lot of these programs. A lot of them also seek diversity, and this is a great thing as you make friends as a digital nomad .

You’ll also want to take the locations into account. Deciding where to work remotely and travel is one of the most paralyzing concepts, and luckily these programs have pre-determined itineraries. That doesn’t mean one size fits all, though, especially if you need to remain in US time zones for your job.

Overall, I suggest asking in forums to hear experiences of people who’ve done the various programs that interest you, and also perusing what’s included, because as you can see above, the programs all differ slightly in terms of what is included among accommodation, travel between cities, coworking and activities or social events.

If the Sponsor listed on your DS-2019 is not IENA, please STOP and contact your sponsor.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know traveling to a new country for work can raise a lot of questions. Check out our useful FAQs or reach out with questions

You are going to hear several terms for different forms etc. during the process. Here is our IENAipedia to those forms:

The J-1 Summer Work and Travel Visa: This J-1 Visa is a government program that allows qualified full time students to share their cultures and ideas with the people of the United States. The J-1 Summer Work and Travel Visa is for individuals approved to participate in work-and study-based exchange visitor programs. This program is run by the US Department of State .

DS-2019 Form: This form can only be issued by a US Department of State designated visa sponsor. IENA is one of those. It certifies that you are eligible to take part in the cultural exchange program and is a vital part of the application process. In essence, it is evidence that you have a bona-fide job offer in the USA. You will need it for your embassy appointment AND you will need it when you enter into the USA. Guard it as you would guard your passport.

SEVIS Receipt (or SEVIS I-901 Receipt): SEVIS stands for “Student Exchange Visitor Information System”. It is a system by which the US Department of State keeps track of you on the program. You will need this form when you visit the embassy for your interview

WHAT PAPERWORK WILL THE EMPLOYER REQUIRE? Social Security: The US Government requires all employees to apply for a Social Security Number. Your employer will help you do this upon your arrival, however, you MUST validate your arrival via your IENA account BEFORE you can apply. Once done, you will need to visit the local Social Security office. You must obtain a Social Security Card. If you already have one, then that’s yours for life.

Form I-9: All employees, foreign and domestic, are required to complete this form for each employer. It is a straightforward form and you will need your passport (including J-1 Visa) and your DS-2019. Your employer will help you complete this.

Form I-94: This is your arrival and departure record. It is a good idea to print this when you get settled and keep it with you. You cannot print it until after you have arrived in the USA. It can be printed here

W-4: This form is for tax purposes. Your employer may withhold a small amount of taxes from your salary. You ARE entitled to claim some of this back because you are not a resident of the USA. IENA partner with taxback.com to make claiming back the taxes as simple as possible DO I HAVE HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA?

As you may be aware, health care is not free in the USA. You must have medical insurance. We have that covered for you. There are however some terminology and procedures it is handy to know:

Co-payment: This is like your car insurance excess. Its an amount you always have to pay when you have treatment. For non-Emergency Room Visits, the Co-pay is $50. Whenever possible. You should always call the 800 number (free call) on the back of your insurance and discuss your symptoms before visiting a doctor. They can best advise you whether to visit a doctor and if so, where the closest clinic is.

Workers Compensation: Whilst you are at work and carrying out your duties at work, you are covered by this insurance. This means if you have an injury/illness caused by or related to your work, you are covered by this insurance which is held by your employer. Our insurance is for non-work related cases, or injuries/illnesses that occur while on days off and while you are traveling.

Emergency Room: It’s the same thing as the A & E and is for serious injury or illness that requires immediate attention. There is no co-pay or deductible for this if the injury/illness is deemed life threatening or requires an overnight stay. In all other cases, there will be a $350 Copay, so you should go to a walk-in clinic whenever possible.

Pre-Existing Conditions: If you have a condition that has been treated, or you take regular medication for, in the past 6 months, it will NOT be covered by this insurance.

Here you can find more details on your insurance policy .

SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE

When it comes to social media and American culture, there are a few things you need to be aware of. Employers have withdrawn job offers to participants before they have even arrived in the USA due to things they have found on social media. Please be aware of how you portray yourself. You are going to America to be professionally employed and your public presence should reflect that. We highly recommend you make all your social media private.

Remember, even something someone else tags you in or photos someone else posts of you can have an impact on someone’s impression of you. As a general rule of thumb, think “Would I want my parents or grandparents to see this?”

Each employer will have their own set of rules with regards to social media once you arrive.

CAN I LEAVE MY EMPLOYER OR SWITCH JOBS

IENA recognizes there are several reasons why you may leave your job.

Getting Fired

Break the rules and you may be fired. This is a job just like a job at home. As with any job you take, there are rules that need to be followed.

If you have been fired, the first thing you must do is call IENA. (888)724-4292 . Your employer are also instructed to call us. Our goal is:

For you to understand why you have been fired
Get your version of events
Ensure you are paid up to date
To make a plan with you as to where you will go, if we can place you elsewhere or how you will get home

Just because you have been terminated from employment does not mean you are not part of our program. We want to make sure you are safe and taken care of.

You Decide to Leave

We understand there are a few reasons why you may decide to leave. All we ask is that if you have any problems at your place of employment, you follow the following steps:

Please make sure you have given the job a chance – at least 2 weeks
Speak with your supervisor about any problems first and give him or her the chance to resolve
If this has not worked, call IENA who will advocate on your behalf

Remember as with any job, there are good days at work and bad days. There are people you like working with, and people you don’t like working with. Just as the employer has made a commitment to you via you job offer, you have made a commitment to the employer in acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of your job offer.

If you do decide to leave early, you MUST call IENA before you leave on (888) 724 4292 ext 4. We will want to help you make a plan to get home or find other employment.

CAN I GET A SECOND JOB

If you have the opportunity for a second job, please contact the IENA office and we will go through the process and contact your new employer. You MUST do this BEFORE you accept and begin working for your 2 nd job employer.

are you participating in a work and travel program

Work and travel programs are a great way to explore the world while earning money. These programs allow participants to work and travel in different countries for a set period, usually a year, with the possibility of an extension. They are designed to offer a thrilling adventure, enabling participants to experience life in different parts of the world without completely depleting their savings. Work and travel programs provide an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience, skills, global connections, and cultural insights, all while earning a livable wage.

What You'll Learn

Work and travel program requirements, job search strategies, benefits of participating, housing and accommodation, visa application process.

The "Summer Work and Travel USA" program is a cultural exchange program exclusively for students. It has been approved by the American government and enables students to work in the USA during the summer break for a period of 4 months, with the option to use a fifth month for travelling.

The program requirements are as follows:

Participants must be full-time university students from a participating country.
Students must be sufficiently proficient in English to successfully interact in an English-speaking environment.
Students must be enrolled in and actively pursuing a degree or other full-time courses of study at an accredited classroom-based, post-secondary educational institution outside the United States.

Online Job Boards and Company Websites

Dive into online job boards specific to your target country. Google "job search sites" followed by the name of your desired country to identify the most popular ones. Visit company websites directly, as some businesses may only advertise openings on their own sites or social media pages.

Direct Outreach to Local Employers

If you are already in your target country, consider reaching out to local businesses directly. Some employers may value your initiative and might have openings that they haven't advertised yet. This approach can lead to unique opportunities that aren't widely visible online.

Social Media and Networking

Leverage social media platforms, especially LinkedIn, to connect with companies related to your interests and skills in your target countries. Join Facebook groups about Work and Travel in specific countries or regions to learn about job vacancies.

Networking is key. The more people you connect with and communicate your job search to, the more likely you are to learn about open positions. Attend international job fairs, either virtually or in person, to meet employers directly and increase your chances of earning an interview.

Customise Your Application

Tailor your resume and cover letter for each role you apply for. Highlight how your skills and experiences fit the specific job requirements. Include relevant keywords from the job description to ensure your application stands out.

Language and Cultural Exchange

Work and travel programs often emphasise cultural exchange and language learning. Ensure you meet the language proficiency requirements and be open to opportunities that facilitate language exchange and cultural understanding.

Placement Options

Some work and travel programs offer placement options. With the self-placement option, you find your own job, which is then verified by the program organiser. The full placement option involves being placed with a pre-approved host organisation based on your experiences, skills, and availability.

Visa Requirements

Ensure you meet the visa requirements for your target country. For example, the J-1 Visa Summer Work Travel Program in the US requires participants to be enrolled full-time in an accredited academic institution located outside the United States.

Participating in a work and travel program offers a wide range of benefits, from cultural exchange to personal development and career advancement. Here are some of the key advantages:

Cultural Immersion and Language Skills:

Work and travel programs provide a unique opportunity for cultural exchange, allowing participants to immerse themselves in new countries and gain in-depth knowledge of different customs, traditions, and lifestyles.
Participants can significantly improve their language skills by living and working in a foreign country. This improvement can be seen in both English proficiency and the language of the host country.

Personal Growth and Development:

These programs encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones, fostering independence, self-confidence, and adaptability.
They offer a chance to develop interpersonal skills, such as making new friends from diverse backgrounds and creating lifelong connections, both personally and professionally.

Professional Experience and Enhanced Resume:

Work and travel programs provide valuable work experience, allowing participants to develop new skills, gain practical knowledge, and enhance their resumes, making them more attractive to future employers.
Participants can earn money while travelling, covering their expenses and even saving funds, without depleting their savings.

Travel Opportunities and Exploration:

The programs offer an affordable way to travel, with accommodation and meals often provided as part of the package.
Participants get to explore new places, gain insight into local cultures, and create memorable travel experiences, all while earning an income.

Skill Acquisition and Qualifications:

Work and travel programs provide opportunities to acquire key qualifications and develop transferable skills, such as self-management and organisational abilities, which are beneficial for future career prospects.
Participants can gain experience in various industries, including hospitality, gastronomy, teaching, and childcare, among others, allowing them to discover new areas of interest and potential career paths.

Employer-Provided Housing:

Some employers within work and travel programs offer housing arrangements for their participants. This is an excellent option, as it provides a direct and reliable source of accommodation. If your employer provides housing, they will typically inform you during the hiring process. Even if they don't, employers can still offer valuable insights into the cost of living and recommend suitable places to stay.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Housing:

When embarking on your work and travel journey, it's essential to distinguish between short-term and long-term housing options. Short-term accommodations serve as temporary lodgings while you explore more permanent options. Hostels, hotels, and motels fall into this category and are ideal for when you first arrive or if you need to travel to different locations.

On the other hand, long-term housing refers to more permanent arrangements, such as renting an apartment or a house, often shared with other program participants. It is advisable to start your search for long-term housing before your arrival, as it gives you a head start in finding a suitable place.

Types of Housing:

The type of housing you choose will depend on your preferences, budget, and location. Here are some common options:

Apartments: Renting an apartment offers independence and freedom, but it can also be costly. Sharing an apartment with roommates is a cost-efficient alternative, allowing you to split the rent and bills. Subletting is another option, where you temporarily take over the lease from a tenant who is away.
Dormitory-style Apartments and University Housing: These accommodations foster a sense of community and social interaction. They usually involve sharing bedrooms and bathrooms, and they often provide essential amenities like furnished rooms, internet access, and kitchen facilities.
Homestays: Homestays are ideal for cultural immersion, allowing participants to live with a local family and experience their customs and traditions. This option is common in programs like Work and Study Canada, where participants can choose between full and half-board meal plans.
Hostels: Hostels are excellent for temporary stays, offering shared bedrooms and bathrooms at affordable prices. They provide opportunities to meet fellow travelers and are a good choice while searching for more long-term options.
Hotels, Motels, and Bed and Breakfasts: These options provide flexibility, and if you can share a room with a colleague, they become more cost-effective. Many budget hotel chains offer discounts, especially with an International Student ID Card.
Student Residences: Student residences are often located near campuses and offer shared bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, and common areas. While residents are responsible for cooking and cleaning, there is usually a residence manager available for support.

Finding the Right Housing:

When searching for housing, it's essential to consider various factors. Firstly, research the area where you'll be working and seek recommendations from your employer about safe and convenient neighborhoods. Use online resources like Craigslist, Apartments.com, Roommates.com, and Airbnb to find listings. Additionally, universities often have bulletin boards and off-campus housing offices with valuable information.

Before committing to a place, ask potential landlords or roommates thoughtful questions to ensure a positive living experience. Inquire about lease conditions, utility inclusions, furniture, proximity to work, safety, accessibility to amenities, and transportation options. It's also crucial to understand the financial commitments, including rent, deposits, and potential penalties for breaking a lease.

Lastly, always trust your instincts when searching for housing. Be cautious of scams involving unusually low rents or requests to send money to unfamiliar individuals. It's better to be safe than sorry, so never view an apartment alone, and always bring a friend or colleague with you.

Remember, finding suitable housing is an essential step in your work and travel journey. By planning ahead, asking the right questions, and staying vigilant, you can secure comfortable and affordable accommodations that will enhance your overall experience.

How to Keep Enchiladas Warm or Hot When Traveling

The visa application process can be complex and varies depending on the country you are applying to and your personal circumstances. Here is a general overview of the steps involved in applying for a work and travel visa:

Determine Your Eligibility:

Before starting the application process, it is important to check if you are eligible for the specific visa you are interested in. Common requirements include having a valid passport, meeting age requirements, having sufficient funds, possessing relevant qualifications or work experience, and demonstrating proof of health insurance. Some countries may also require you to have a return ticket or funds for a return fare, and not have any dependents.

Gather Documentation:

You will need to collect all the necessary documents for your visa application. This may include your passport, bank statements, health examination reports, insurance details, proof of qualifications or work experience, and photographs. Make sure all your documents are up to date and valid for the duration of your stay.

Complete the Application:

Fill out the visa application forms accurately. Some countries allow you to complete the entire application process online, while others may require you to visit an embassy or consulate. Be sure to provide all the requested information and double-check your application for accuracy before submission.

Submit the Application and Pay Fees:

After reviewing your application for correctness, submit it along with any required fees. Visa fees vary depending on the country and type of visa. Keep in mind that submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

Wait for Processing and Approval:

Visa processing times can vary, but you will typically receive a notification about your visa status within a few weeks. In some cases, your application may require further administrative processing or additional interviews. Always check the official government websites for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Receive Visa and Prepare for Travel:

Once your visa is approved, you will need to review the entry requirements and customs restrictions of your destination country. Keep in mind that a visa allows you to travel to a port of entry and request permission to enter the country, but it does not guarantee entry. Respect the local laws and customs of your host country, and ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your visa, including the duration of your permitted stay.

Frequently asked questions.

The Work and Travel program is a cultural exchange program that allows students to work and travel in a foreign country during their summer break. The program offers participants the opportunity to gain work experience, improve their language skills, and explore new cultures.

The program is typically open to university students who are at least 18 years old, proficient in English, and willing to work in entry-level or service sector positions. Participants must also be in good health and abide by the rules of the program and the laws of the host country.

The length of the program varies depending on the country, but it usually lasts between 1 to 4 months, with an additional travel period of up to 30 days in some cases.

There are two main ways to find a job: self-placement and full placement. In self-placement, participants are responsible for finding their own jobs, which are then verified by the program organizer. In full placement, participants are placed with pre-approved host organizations based on their skills, experiences, and availability.

Travel works for minnesota – the latest roadshow on our national advocacy tour.

September 04, 2024 By Nicole Porter, Vice President, Political Affairs, U.S. Travel Association

Travel is far more than a means to reach destinations; it's a dynamic force that powers economies and nearly every industry and community across the United States.

In 2023, travel spending generated $2.8 trillion in economic output and supported jobs for nearly 15 million American workers. To shine a spotlight on the profound economic impact of travel, U.S. Travel has been hitting the road for a nationwide “Travel Works for America” advocacy tour, with stops designed to demonstrate first-hand how travel works for America by spotlighting its extensive impact at the local level.

Our latest Travel Works destination was Minnesota, where we visited Bloomington, Minneapolis, Saint Paul and ended at the iconic Minnesota State Fair.

Each visit on our Minnesota leg of the Travel Works roadshow served as a vivid testament to the essential role of travel in the economy, fueling industries core to Minnesota's legacy. We had the great privilege of working closely with many Minnesota elected officials over our two-day tour.

Stops Along the Minnesota Roadshow

Our roadshow kicked off with a roundtable discussion, where more than 30 Minnesota business leaders gathered at Bloomington Minnesota Travel & Tourism’s office to hear from industry executives, elected officials and local business leaders about the tangible impact that travel has on the local region and businesses. Travel is indispensable to Minnesota—supporting more than 180,000 jobs , welcoming 80 million visitors annually and generating $24 billion in economic impact.

Geoff Freeman Speaks at Travel Works Minnesota Event

Next, we toured the one and only Mall of America , the largest retail shopping mall in the United States. This mall welcomes 40 million visitors and adds nearly $2 billion to Minnesota’s economy annually. The U.S. Travel team, alongside Mall of America CEO Luiza Lopes, enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour where they learned more about the mall’s top-notch security systems, marketing efforts, partnerships and long-standing history that makes it one of the state’s most treasured cultural landmarks.

Travel Works Group Visits Mall of America

Our final stop was the legendary Minnesota State Fair . The fair—located halfway between Saint Paul and Minneapolis—draws over 100,000 visitors daily during its annual 14-day run—showcasing the best of the state’s culinary, agriculture, art and cultural offerings. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar , co-chair of the Senate Travel and Tourism Caucus, helped us kick off the day with remarks in front of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Park, where she underscored the transformative power of travel. Thank you Senator Klobuchar for being a steadfast champion for the travel industry.

This Roadshow would not have been possible without our travel industry partners: Meet Minneapolis, Explore Minnesota, Bloomington, Minnesota Travel & Tourism and Visit Saint Paul. Thank you for hosting and showing us around the North Star State.

Minnesota Travel Leaders gather at State Fair

Follow Along

U.S. Travel's Travel Works program elevates the narrative surrounding travel's pivotal role in bolstering the economy while also highlighting the challenges that affect both the travel industry and businesses nationwide. Travel Works also presents a unique opportunity to foster increased engagement and understanding among elected officials at all levels, enabling them to effectively champion our industry's priorities.

Stay tuned for the addition of more stops across the nation as we continue to amplify and celebrate the undeniable impact of travel on our economy. Learn more about Travel Works .

History of Ryazan

Foundation of today’s ryazan.

The first settlements arose on the territory of today’s Ryazan as early as the Middle Paleolithic era (from 300,000 to 30,000 years ago). Near the city, in the village of Dubrovichi, archaeologists discovered a flint ax made more than 80 thousand years ago - the most ancient material monument found in the Ryazan region.

Slavic tribes, in this case the Vyatichi, came to the Oka around the 6th century AD. Already in the 7th-8th centuries, a whole network of settlements was founded around the future Ryazan. These people were mainly engaged in arable farming.

Until the middle of the 10th century, the Vyatichi, like several other East Slavic tribal unions, were politically dependent on the Khazar Khaganate (650-969). The Old Russian state played the decisive role in its decline. In 964, Prince Svyatoslav freed the last Slavic tribe of the Vyatichi dependent on the Khazars. The Ryazan and Murom lands were included into the Old Russian state.

The presence of several large settlements on this territory led to the need to create a single military center. In 1095, the town of Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky was founded on a high hill at the confluence of the Trubezh and Lybid rivers.

More Historical Facts…

Ryazan in the 12th-17th centuries

At the beginning of the 12th century, the Ryazan lands separated into an independent Murom-Ryazan principality. It was a time of rivalry between its two largest towns - Ryazan and Murom - for the right to be the capital of the new principality.

As a result, Ryazan, which was located about 50 km down the Oka River from Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, won, since it was here that the princely court was taking place, the episcopal see was located, feudal unions were concluded, from here the princely troops went on military campaigns. Moreover, Ryazan was well fortified. Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky by this time was one of the fortified outposts of the principality, surrounded by a network of guard posts.

In the winter of 1237, a large Mongol army (tens of thousands of people) approached the walls of Ryazan. This was one of the first episodes of the Mongol invasion of Rus and the western campaign of the Mongols. The town was captured after several days of siege.

The main military forces of the principality were defeated earlier in the battle on the Voronezh River. Ryazan with a population of up to 8 thousand people was completely destroyed. It was never able to recover and soon the few surviving residents left it. Today, this place is known as Old Ryazan. The capital of the principality was moved to Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky.

By the 14th century, Pereyaslavl was finally formed as the capital of the principality. The heart of the town was the fortress (kremlin) with wooden walls and twelve towers. At the beginning of the 15th century, the construction of the Ryazan Kremlin with stone buildings began. In 1611, during the Time of Troubles, Ryazan initiated the convening of the first people’s militia to free Moscow from the Poles. The Ryazan nobleman Prokopiy Lyapunov was elected its head.

Ryazan in the 18th-19th centuries

In 1778, with the formation of the Ryazan Governorship, Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky received the name Ryazan and its own coat of arms depicting the figure of the Prince with a sword in his hand. In 1780, the regular plan of Ryazan was approved.

The ensemble of the Ryazan Kremlin with the beautiful Assumption Cathedral (1693-1699) remained the center of the town. In 1787, an opera and drama theater, one of the oldest in Russia, was opened in Ryazan. By the end of the 18th century, about 8 thousand people lived in Ryazan.

In 1837, a large fire destroyed a lot of wooden buildings. The construction of new stone buildings began, including artillery barracks (the building of the hospital on Pervomaisky Avenue). In 1860, about 21.6 thousand people lived in Ryazan. In 1863, a railway line connected Ryazan with Moscow. Ryazan became a major railway hub. By 1897, the population of the city was 46 thousand people.

Ryazan in the 20th century

In 1913, the city power plant was put into operation. In December 1915, the first female teacher’s institute in the Russian Empire was founded in Ryazan. In 1930, after the liquidation of the Ryazan Governorate, Ryazan became a district center of Moscow Oblast. In 1937, it became the administrative center of the newly formed Ryazan Oblast. In 1939, its population was about 95,000.

In the fall of 1941, during the Second World War, the front line reached the Ryazan region. Ryazan was of great strategic importance, as highways connecting Moscow with the central and eastern regions of the country passed through it. German troops were stopped 30 kilometers from the city.

The rapid development of Ryazan began immediately after the war. The city turned into a large industrial, scientific, and military center of the European part of Russia, home to giant factories that occupied entire urban districts: the Ryazan oil refinery (the largest in Europe), “Ryazselmash” (the only manufacturer of potato harvesting equipment in the USSR), the calculating and analytical machine plant, the heavy forging and pressing equipment plant, the chemical fiber plant, etc.

Several large universities were opened in Ryazan - a medical university, a radio engineering academy, an agricultural institute, and an institute of culture. The military potential of the city was finally formed. Ryazan becomes the main training center for the Soviet Airborne Forces. The city was surrounded by numerous training centers and military training grounds.

Greening became one of the city’s fundamental development strategies. Ryazan was surrounded by green rings of forests and parks. Large parks were laid out in every district of the city. Ryazan was repeatedly declared the winner in greening among the cities of the Soviet Union. By 1987, the city’s population exceeded half a million people.

During the years of Soviet power, the population of Ryazan grew more than fivefold. The city participated in the state program for providing housing to builders of the North - a lot of workers of enterprises located beyond the Arctic Circle subsequently received apartments and registration in the city. Some decline in growth was observed in the 1990s, coinciding with the general demographic decline in Russia. In 1995, Ryazan celebrated its 900th anniversary.

Sculpture “Mushrooms with Eyes” - an interesting sculpture dedicated to the famous Ryazan proverb about mushrooms - “In Ryazan, mushrooms have eyes.” Allegedly, because of this, it is difficult to gather mushrooms in the surrounding forests.

In the 1980s, a whole ensemble of museum buildings was formed in Konstantinovo, which included the estate of L. I. Kashina with an adjoining park, a village school building, the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, and other objects.

Starozhilovsky Stud Farm . It was founded by order of Baron von Dervies in the 1890s.

The stud farm is located about 55 km south of Ryazan in the village of Starozhilovo.

The comments of our visitors.

I came to Ryazan in 1990 to fly hot air balloons! We all had great time and your hospitality was wonderful. Our translator was a girl called Olga who later came to visit us, with her mother, in the UK.

I never realised the incredible history of the area when I was there. It was such a short stay. I'm getting older now but will never forget your kindness. Maybe I'll plan another visit!

Great to read your website, I'm glad I found it. When Olga visited she gave us three small glass hedgehogs as a present which I still have and I was trying to find their origin! If you know Olga and mum say hallo from me!

The Polaris Dawn spacewalk is SpaceX’s ‘risky adventure’

A SpaceX rocket lifted off early Tuesday morning carrying four astronauts who hope to conduct the world’s first commercial spacewalk . The launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida marks the beginning of one of SpaceX’s highest-stakes missions yet .

Four astronauts from the Polaris Dawn mission — from left, Jared Isaacman (mission commander), Sarah Gillis (mission specialist), Anna Menon (mission specialist/medical officer) and Scott “Kidd” Poteet (pilot), say they've gone through some 2,000 hours of simulator training to prepare for an ambitious visit to space.

Civilian Polaris Dawn spacewalk mission is set to make history next week

If all goes as expected, in a matter of days, Internet entrepreneur Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis will be the first private astronauts to exit their spacecraft to float above the Earth in spacesuits. They’ll be treated to a majestic view of the planet that’s only been seen by professional astronauts working on official missions from their space agencies.

But experts warn there’s plenty that could go wrong. Spacewalking carries unique risks compared to traveling inside a capsule or visiting the International Space Station. This mission will use several components that have never been tested in space before, including the spacesuits themselves. And it will require skill and cool-headed thinking from the astronauts involved, three of whom have never been to space at all.

Conducting a spacewalk like this is a “risky adventure,” acknowledges Bill Gerstenmaier, SpaceX’s vice president of build and flight reliability, who previously headed NASA’s human spaceflight operations.

In this photo provided by NASA, Boeing Crew Flight Test astronauts Butch Wilmore (left) and Suni Williams pose for a portrait inside the vestibule between the forward port on the International Space Station's Harmony module and Boeing's Starliner spacecraft on June 13.

NASA will bring stranded astronauts back on SpaceX — not Boeing's Starliner

But he insists that the company is ready: “We’re going to do it as safely as we can, and we’ve got the right protocols and we’ve done the right testing to get ready to go,” Gerstenmaier told reporters at a press briefing last month .

A giant leap, for a price

The mission, known as Polaris Dawn, is a giant leap for commercial space travel. To date, most space tourists have either taken a brief suborbital journey that provides a few moments of weightlessness, or (for significantly more money) traveled to the International Space Station. Isaacman spent a few days in 2021 orbiting earth in a SpaceX capsule.

He’s now paid an undisclosed sum of money for this mission, which is the first of three scheduled as part of the Polaris program. Isaacman had floated the idea of the second mission being used to service the Hubble Space telescope, but NASA recently said the agency would not pursue it at this time because they’re not sure it’s worth the risks.

These are the 4 astronauts who'll take a trip around the moon next year

On this mission, all four astronauts will don new SpaceX spacesuits before purging the air from their Dragon capsule. Isaacman, the mission commander, and Gillis will then open the hatch and float briefly out of the capsule, connected by umbilical cords that will supply them with oxygen. The mission’s pilot, Scott Poteet, and medical officer and SpaceX employee Anna Menon will remain inside the capsule.

The allure of doing a spacewalk is clear. The view is stunning, says Luca Parmitano, an astronaut for the European Space Agency who has conducted six spacewalks.

“It’s almost as if time stops for a second, or your heart stops for a second, it’s just so beautiful,” he says.

But Parmitano says that spacewalking is also physically and mentally challenging. The suits are pressurized, making them stiff and inflexible.

"At one point during the spacewalk, you’re going to be hot, you’re going to be cold, your hands are going to hurt,” he says. “You have to embrace the suck.”

And there’s a lot that can go wrong. During a spacewalk outside the International Space Station in 2013, Parmitano’s helmet began filling with water from his spacesuit’s cooling system. In zero G, the capillary pressure caused the water to stick to his skin and begin creeping around his head.

This composite image features a region of star formation known as the Pillars of Creation. It features x-rays from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (red and blue) and infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope (red, green, and blue). Star formation is the topic of one of the quiz questions. Good luck!

Short Wave: Space Camp

What do you know about space take our space camp final exam to find out.

“It covered my eyes, it covered my ears, it went inside my nose,” Parmitano recalls. He was unable to communicate because his radio no longer worked. “I was on my own, isolated. I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t hear, I couldn’t talk.”

Spacewalks (known in the business as Extravehicular Activities, or EVAs), have always been among the most dangerous parts of space travel. During the first American spacewalks carried out during the Gemini program of the 1960s, crew members frequently experienced problems with their suits, according to Emily Margolis, a curator of contemporary spaceflight at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

“Of the nine EVAs that took place during project Gemini, three of them actually ended early due to concerns over health and safety,” Margolis says.

For example on Gemini 9, astronaut Gene Cernan was supposed to test a kind of rocket pack to help astronauts move around in space. His suit included a metallic coating to protect him from the exhaust of the rocket pack, but the coating made it far harder to move.

In this image taken from NASA video Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano holds a bundle of new pumps for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer outside the International Space Station on Dec. 2, 2019.

One of the paradoxes of spacewalking is that, although space is cold, the lack of atmosphere around the suit can actually cause heat to build up inside. As Cernan struggled to move, he ended up overexerting himself.

“He started to sweat profusely and the moisture in the suit started to fog his vizor,” Margolis says. With his visibility severely impaired, his crewmate cut the EVA short and brought him back inside.

When Cernan returned to Earth, Margolis says, it was determined he’d lost 13 pounds over the mission. “It’s believed that most of that was water weight from the amount that he was sweating during this EVA,” she says.

Spacewalks have become more routine since then, but they remain risky, according to Jonathan Clark, a physician at Baylor College of Medicine who has consulted for both NASA and SpaceX on spacesuits. By his count, around one in five spacewalks encounter some sort of problem.

“Sometimes you can adapt to it, but a lot of times you’ve got to stop the EVA and come back in,” he says.

In the case of Luca Parmitano, the astronaut whose helmet began filling with water, he had little choice but to cut the spacewalk short. Because he couldn’t see, he had to work his way back to the airlock from memory. Eventually fellow spacewalker Chris Cassidy helped him get back inside and close the hatch.

A spacewalk has been canceled after a leak was discovered on a Soyuz capsule

“I don’t take any specific credit for keeping my cool because I’d been trained my whole adult life to perform in relatively risky situations,” says Parmitano, who is also a colonel and test pilot in the Italian Air Force.

New challenges

Clark notes that the Polaris Dawn crew has had far less experience. Of the four crewmembers, only Isaacman has actually been to space.

Beyond that, “none of the crew has done an actual spacewalk before,” he says. “It’s going to be a first for everybody.”

The crew will be wearing new SpaceX suits that in some ways resemble those worn by earlier generations of astronauts. They will be fed oxygen by an umbilical cord connected to the spacecraft, and the suits themselves will be passively cooled with air from the umbilical. That means there’s no chance of a water leak, like what happened to Parmitano, but overheating similar to the Gemini missions could become an issue, as could fogging of the astronaut’s visors.

Moreover, the Dragon Capsule itself will have to continue to operate smoothly under vacuum. Without air circulating, the capsule’s onboard computers will have a harder time keeping cool.

“The challenges are certainly there,” Clark says.

This photo provided by NASA shows Boeing's Starliner spacecraft docked to the International Space Station on July 3, 2024. The capsule launched astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the I.S.S. but now they'll return to Earth on a Space Crew Dragon capsule.

Boeing faces hard questions about Starliner and its future in space

But newbies can do tough things in space. Sian Proctor was the pilot of Isaacman’s first mission to orbit the earth in 2021. Until six months before launch, she’d never flown a rocket.

“I basically went from being a geoscience professor to being a mission pilot of a spacecraft,” she says.

Proctor says SpaceX got her ready. In fact, Sarah Gillis helped train her for her mission. Another member of this latest crew, Scott Poteet, was the mission director for her launch.

While Proctor’s brief flight took only six months to prepare for, this latest mission has been in the works for more than two years, allowing for much more training.

Proctor says, If anyone can carry out the first commercial spacewalk, it’s this team.

“The crew is amazing,” she says. “They are so competent at what they do.”
