Ways of visiting New Zealand

If you want to come to New Zealand, there're many things you've to think of, many things you have to keep in mind. You've lots of opportunities to get there, for studying, working or something.

Au Pair:
For getting to New Zealand as an Au Pair you've to be 18, you've to be able to speak pretty good english and you've to apply for it early.
There're some responsibilities you should deal with, like caring for children, helping with homework, maybe cooking or helping with work in the house. You've to visit a special school, where you're thought how to speak better english. Therefore your host family has to give you your own room, pocket money and at least one free day per week.
Some things you've to think about before, is your legal passport, you've to be able to show that you cared for children twice before, your health insurance and other things like that.

Work and Travel:
The main idea about work and travel is to get to know much of the awesome and amazingly incredible countries, of the culture and the people.
So if you're part of a work and travel program, you're travelling through a country, you're working at different places, either for your own room and meal, or for money.
"WWOOF" is a special organisation for travellers, it means "willing workers on organic farms". It's a really huge organisation, not just about New Zealand, about countries all over the world.
With WWOOF you won't get any money, but you'll get food and a place to live. You've to work for about 4-6 hours. In New Zealand you mostly don't need green light for working, because it's just about working on farms, with animals or in the garden.

Studying:
There's one problem about studying in New Zealand, but it's the same with other countries, it's heavily expensive. So you've to pay 7000NZD - 9000NZD, which is about 4000€ - 5000€.
Anyway, New Zealand is well-known for all the opportunities of studying, for the high level of quality and for it's friendly people.
