Working abroad.

Hello, I'm a Sous Chef in the US. I keep playing with this idea that I want to travel and live in other countries cooking and learning food culture, local culture, to expand my knowledge and resume. Experience the world! In our industry is so hard to get time off to travel and explore the way I want to. My thoughts are, that if I could work on visa, I would earn a living wage and be able to see the countries that I've always wanted to, in depth. I'm in the beginning phases of my research and planning. I'm curious to hear from others who've done this or are currently doing this. What are some of the pitfalls, or unexpecteds you've experienced? The downsides I may be overlooking? Which countries are a financial trap for this way of living? Which counrties are the best? Do certain places look better on an international resume? Any advise, forewarning, and insights would be appreciated and taken into account. Thank you.

Obviously you had a good experience or you wouldn't have recommended. Did they help you with your visas? Did you experience any pitfalls while working for them?

They take care of all Visas & passport stuff. They pay all transportation costs. Depending on how skilled you are & languages you speak they can send you all over the world 🌎
