About us

Why we get out of bed

For coffee. And because despite what we’re told growing up, you should never have to choose between getting a job and going travelling. With JENZA, you can do both. Earn money, enhance your resume, explore the world.

Part of the JENZA Travel Group – with 65+ years of work and travel expertise

Things that make our world go round

World Icon Black.svg

Job assistance

We're the Jobsworths of the travel world. Where we can’t help you secure a seasonal job with one of our vetted employers before you go, we provide job assistance on the ground.

Arrival support

Landing in a new country with a face-full of jetlag can feel scary. Our working holidays typically include hostel nights, job workshops and socials to help you find your feet and your people.

Work essentials

The un-sexy side to working overseas that no one tells you about – our working holidays typically include all the nerdy stuff like bank account, tax number and SIM set-up.

Visa experts

As a team of travellers, we genuinely geek out for a good visa form. We'll provide the correct paperwork and help you navigate all the visa and sponsorship requirements for where you're heading to.

Roadtested trips

It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. Every JENZA experience has been trialled by one of our roadtesters. Because if it didn’t fly with them, it’s not going to fly with you.

Giving back

5% of all our profits go to the JENZA Travel Group's Youth Access Scholarship Fund. Because the world’s a better place when there are more people able to experience it.

About JENZA

We're not knocking regular travel. Face-planting on a beach with a conveyor belt of coconuts is a wonderful thing. (Until you run out of cash and have to come home, of course, then it quickly starts to suck). By funding your trip with a working holiday, internship, summer or ski job – you'll get to stay longer and contribute more. We don't want to get all cult-like, but we believe that working overseas is a lower-impact way to see the world. The opposite of fast travel, you'll be paying tax dollars, spending in local communities, and connecting with people and places in a more authentic way. (It's also the most fun you can have in your twenties – until all that real life stuff kicks in).
