Arbejdsferie i Christchurch

Start dit New Zealand-eventyr i fremtidens by

Christchurch er et fantastisk sted at starte din arbejdsferie i New Zealand med et U. 7-dages arbejdsferieprogram på Sydøen. Få vejledning fra vores fantastiske lokale partnere plus hjælp til alle de kedelige, men vigtige ting som bankkonti, skattenumre, at finde et sted at bo og selvfølgelig at finde det perfekte job. Dette arbejdsferieprogram for New Zealand vil give dig alt, hvad du behøver for at være ordentligt forberedt på hverdagen i Christchurch eller længere væk på Sydøen.

Fra det øjeblik du lander i lufthavnen, bliver du budt velkommen og kørt direkte til dit hostel. Her finder du andre fra hele verden på præcis samme program – slap af, få en drink, og lær dem at kende. Det er begyndelsen på en fantastisk rejse.

I løbet af den næste uge vil du sammen med gruppen blive guidet gennem det ægte og lokale New Zealand af vores lokale guide. De vil fortælle dig, hvor du kan spise, og hvor du kan få billige drinks, og de vil hjælpe dig med at få en bankkonto og et SIM-kort og hjælpe dig med dit CV, så du bliver attraktiv for kiwi-arbejdsgivere.

Alt arbejde og ingen leg gør selvfølgelig Jack til en kedelig dreng (kiwi-ordsprog), så undervejs vil du komme på orienterende ture i Christchurch, pubcrawls, baraftener, dagsture og en meget episk tur gennem hjertet af Sydøen til verdens eventyrhovedstad, Queenstown. Hav det sjovt med adrenalinaktiviteter som Bungy Jumping, canyon-sving og jet-boating, og nætter fyldt med drinks, barer og klubber. Queenstown er en vild tur for alle.

 

Mini-pakker

Vil du have alle de praktiske ting til at få et job, såsom en bankkonto, et skattenummer, et sim-kort og KiwiSaver, uden at det bliver for meget med dagsture og rundvisninger? Det er fint for os. Det er lidt som at tage en pause, men ikke at slå op. Bare rolig, vores lokale eksperter kan hjælpe dig med alle de vigtige ting, der skal til for at få et job i New Zealand – at lave dit CV rigtigt, eller hvordan du tager interviews rigtigt under hele dit ophold i New Zealand. Så laver vi bare de fede, sjove festting selv – uden at surmule!

 

U.Special Deal

Der er langt til New Zealand, og det ville være en skam at tage hele vejen og bare arbejde. 24-dages turen til U.New Zealand er uden tvivl vores mest populære rejse i hele verden. Besøg det geotermiske vidunderland Rotorua, tag på en af verdens 10 bedste endagsvandringer over aktive vulkaner, sejl rundt om Sydøen, besøg fantastiske nationalparker som Able Tasman, Paparoa, Fiordland, Mount Cook & Aspiring, og fest selvfølgelig natten lang i Queenstown – verdens selvudnævnte eventyrhovedstad.

Få måske styr på din bankkonto, skattenummer osv. og rejs så til New Zealand med U. og find ud af, hvor du kan lide og måske vil bo og arbejde. Der er masser af jobs i steder som Wellington, Taupo, Nelson og Queenstown. Spar 200 pund ved at booke dit rejse- og arbejdsferievisumprogram sammen.

You will have been booked into one of two properties which are within walking distance or a short shuttle from the airport. Our local New Zealand team will meet you at the airport and help with your transfer. Once checked into the hostel unwind after your long journey, catch up on sleep, social media, and most importantly connect with other travellers starting their New Zealand adventure this week.

In the evening why not explore Christchurch and grab some food and drinks? For those that are arriving a few days early, we can organise early arrival at the hostel and talk to one of the U.Crew about pre-booking some awesome local experiences to get to explore beyond the city.

Arrive Christchurch

Today is about getting you set up and orientated around Christchurch. We will start with a briefing and check that you have all the essentials you need.

You will then head out for a walking tour of Christchurch. In 2010 a lot of Christchurch City was reduced to not much more than rubble in a huge earthquake. Since then an incredible rebuilding effort has rebuilt a beautiful modern city. Our local team will show you the best places for coffee, amazing places to eat, what bars you must visit (it seems like new ones open every second day), plus all the main sites. Everything to get you living like a local straight away. During the walking tour we will also visit the bank to get you set up with your New Zealand bank account, we will pick up a local sim card, and cover what you need for your IRD tax number.

This aſternoon you are free to explore more of Christchurch yourself or with your group or start the process of finding somewhere awesome to live. Most groups tend to head out for a drink tonight at one of the many bar areas seen on your walking tour.

Meet the local team

Today is all about providing you with everything you need to know about working and travelling around New Zealand. We usually start a bit later giving you time to get over the jet lag, or being honest those drinks last night!!! Maybe you want to try and grab breakfast at the Riverside Markets or Cashel Mall.

We start with a job workshop where you will get help to get your resumé ready for a Kiwi employer. We will explain what type of work you can expect to get and what is available, and we will get you started on looking for the perfect job – assuming you don’t want to do some travelling and get to know the country first.

After a day of learning and sorting you, we will do a group meal at a local restaurant.

How to live and travel like a local

Today you get a chance to venture away from Christchurch with a day trip to the ocean-side settlement of Akaroa. It is a stunning driver over the hills which takes us to Akaroa Harbour and the decidedly French settlement (it was the only place in New Zealand originally settled by French colonists). Akaroa is full of cute little art shops, cafes and restaurants. The Akaroa Harbour is also home to the small and rare native Hectors Dolphins.

  • Explore the streets of Akaroa village or there is the option to head out on any of the following optional activities which can be pre-booked:
  • Swimming with the dolphins (note this is an eco-tour and heavily controlled by the Department of Conservation to ensure the health and safety of these beautiful local dolphins)
  • Ocean Cruise – hopefully seeing the dolphins
  • Horse Trekking

We will return to Christchurch tonight.

Akaroa

Heading south from Christchurch we say goodbye, although we are sure you will be back, and hit the road in the direction of the magnificent Mackenzie Country and the enormous Southern Alps. Our destination is the township of Tekapo on the shores of the glacial-fed Lake Tekapo. We will stop for an awesome Instagram opportunity at the charming stone Church of the Good Shepherd nestled on a rocky outcrop over the breathtakingly blue waters of the lake. Lake Tekapo is the first of the three great lakes in the Mackenzie Country filled from the Southern Alps – each with its own very distinctive blue colour.

The night sky above Tekapo is also astonishingly one of the few World Heritage areas in the world. As night falls the sky lights up with trillions of stars incredibly clear because of the lack of light pollution. The town is heavily controlled by how much light can shine from it. You can walk up to nearby Mt John for an amazing panoramic view of the surrounding landscape engulfed by the stars of the Milky Way, or lie on your back snacking up the thermal waters of the Tekapo hot spring. Alternatively, there is the option to book on the Dark Sky Project which takes you into the UNESCO Dark Sky reserve (optional add-on).

Christchurch to Tekapo

Your journey south towards Queenstown continues this morning first with a stop at Omarama. A tiny farming settlement where you will visit the strange formations of the clay cliffs, formed over a million years ago. We continue your rural New Zealand experiences with a visit to the historic gold mining town of Arrowtown.

This is one of our favourite places in New Zealand (aſter all it is where Dan comes from). Try one of the hokey pokey ice creams as you walk around the historic village, or walk around the river area to the historic Chinese Village that once houses over 8,000 gold miners in the 1800s.

We will then head on to the adventure capital of the world – Queenstown. Get your dancing boots on as Queenstown is also the party capital of New Zealand!

Lake Taupo to Queenstown

Wake up in paradise. Many of you will be thinking – yup, this is the place I want to get a job. The Southern Alps wrap around a huge beautiful lake and a downtown that buzzes 24 hours of the day with international visitors and hip locals alike. We highly recommend you have pre-booked into the hostel for some extra nights so you can hang out and get to know the lie of the land. Talk to your U.Team about pre-booking some of the amazing adrenalin activities such as jet boating, bungy jumping, and skydiving, or try a day trip to an area literally called “Paradise” near the township of Glenorchy or an awesome craſt beer and wine tour to get you in the mood of the local scene.
