Working abroad as a website designer?

If you're interested in living abroad for any reason or any length of time - from becoming an expat to volunteering or teaching English for a few months - this is the forum to discuss it. Learn about TEFL, Peace Corps, international volunteer organizations and corporate opportunities. Discuss visas, logistics of moving overseas and how to work 'under the table'.

Working abroad as a website designer?

Postby benleb » October 4th, 2009

Hi,

I'll be taking an intensive 6-months website design course in hope to be able to either work abroad or work from another country (for local clients or else). I'm a 40 years-old Canadian citizen with a 15 years experience in printed graphic design.

I think it's a good plan. Do you?

Ben.

Good luck, Ben! At the very least you may be able to work in exchange for something, like accommodation in a hostel for doing some work on their website.
