Im planning on travelling to europe to work with a program called SWAP (Student Work Abroad Program). I would like to work in Ireland, Scotland and England and then take some time to also backpack other areas of Europe. Im thinking of going for approx. 1 year leaving either sometime from Jan – June 2005. If anyone has any advise about this that would be great and I am also looking for anyone you might want to come along!

why would you pay SWAP so much when you can get a visa on your own and work by paying less? the resources SWAP gives you an be found elswhere too righ? so i don’t get what’s so special about SWAP. not dissing it, but someone please explain.
