Okay, well I was told to look in here for info on working in europe while I’m backpacking… But unless my computer went schizo, there are no posts…

So what info can be shared about wanting to work while I’m in a different country?

This forum doesn’t get a lot of traffic. When you first get on the "working in Europe" forum used the pull-down to change from the default "in the past 30 days" to 120 days or 1 year and you’ll see a number of old posts. You can also use the search function to find archived (older than 1 year) posts from this forum.

Spikey, that’s because it is nearly impossible. If you aren’t a citisen of an EU country, or you are not participating in a working vacation from your country (like Canada and Australia) you are not going to be able to work legally anywhere in the EU. US citisens are especially fu..ed! If you are a real go-getter you may be able to find illegal work, but even that is very hard to get unless you are a Pamela Anderson type, if you get my meaning.
