I saved $5,000 AUD in my first job in Australia at age 18 in 1989 on a clerical traineeship wage. I used it to travel to Europe and ended up getting a job there (Canary Islands) and stayed for four years. My English language skills came in handy.

@StevenJohn91 I did basic administrative assistant work with English translating and interpreting included. I was hired because the guy interviewing me loved Australia, where I'm from. My parents are from the Canary Islands and migrated to Australia. I went to Tenerife and lived and worked in the capital, Santa Cruz.

@StevenJohn91 What Islands have you been to? Which is your favourite and what's your favourite town and local food? There are so many Brits in the Canaries. The place us crawling with them! And Germans too. Anyone that can speak both Spanish and English can get work there. On Tenerife, the south of the island is the touristy part. Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas for example. But, in the north there is also Puerto de la Cruz. When I lived there, I pretty much just stuck to the capital, where the locals were. But, I also went to visit my grandparents in the village called Güimar. It's also where I was born.
