Vrste del in plačilo
Dela je na Novi Zelandiji na voljo veliko –
od dela v pisarni, do učitelja smučanja in pobiranja različnih
vrst sadežev. Delo ti bodo pomagali najti tudi naši kolegi, hkrati
pa si lahko pomagaš s spletnimi stranmi, ki ponujajo obilico
informacij o aktualnem delu. Obstajajo tudi hostli, ki ti v
zameno za prenočevanje v njihovih nastanitvenih zmogljivostih
navežejo stik z delodajalci. V kolikor boš delal v sadjarski
industriji (npr.: delo s kiviji) se povečini (odvisno od vremena –
v kolikor je dež, se jasno ne dela) z delom prične okoli 8. ure
zjutraj, ko se backpackerji z avti (v kolikor ga nimaš, se pridružiš
svojim kolegom) odpravite na zbirno mesto. Tam vas pričaka vaš
delodajalec, s katerim nato skupaj odidete na prvo lokacijo dela. Ko
zaključite s prvo lokacijo se nato odpravite na drugo, itd. Odvisno
od velikosti sadovnjakov, se po večini obdela med 3 in 4
sadovnjaki na dan. V času dela se vzame čas tudi za kosilo, za
katerega pa posktbite sami. Prihod nazaj v hostel je okoli 5 .ali 6.
ure popoldne. Tedenski znesek plačila znaša nekje med 400 in 700
NZD na teden. Variacije višine plačila so velike; odvisno od vaše
želje po delu in zaslužku. V določenih terminih je tako možno
delati po 20 ur na dan, kar se posledično odraža v velikem
zaslužku. V nekaterih deževnih dneh pa zaradi slabega dne tako
poteka zatišje z delom. V splošnem pa na podlagi izkušenj lahko
rečemo, da se opravi okoli 40 delovnih ur na teden, kar sovpada s
slovenskim delovnim časom. Zaslužka željnji popotniki lahko delajo
tudi bistveno več, a velja poudariti, da je zdravstvena dobrobit
vsakega popotnika na prvem mestu.
Izkušnje preteklih udeležencev
“I travelled through both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. I
spent one month in Napier and then worked for approximately 2 1/2
months in Mt. Manganui. I visited White Island, did the Tongariro
crossing, went to almost all of the larger towns and cities, saw many
beautiful beaches, and also travelled through the jungle in Northland.
I also went to the national parks. The natural landscapes of New
Zealand are amazing - above all the beaches, which are almost empty of
people and untouched. I met a lot of people from very different
countries and now I can speak pretty good English!”
Andreas Weritz
“This was an unforgettable experience that I would repeat any time. New
Zealand is simply a wonderful dream, even if just like any other
country it does have its downsides. I really liked the combination of
work and travel. This meant that I got to know the country as a
holidaymaker and yet also became a part of the "Kiwis" and their
culture. The openness and helpfulness of the "Kiwis" impressed me most.
Other people should learn from their pleasant ways!”
Janine Kiefert (July 2006 – January 2007)
"I saw just about everything during my 10 months in New Zealand. I
especially liked Northland, where I spent 2 months with host families.
A day trip on the Franz-Josef glacier was fascinating, as well as a day
of white water rafting on the Kawerau River. I can only recommend that
everyone else do the same!
As far as work was concerned, I mainly did seasonal work. I
generally had good experiences with employers and colleagues. I usually
worked around 8 hours a day and did jobs such as fruit picking, leaf
plugging, or grading. I really enjoyed my stay in New Zealand, even if
I had moments where my problems seemed impossible to overcome. But I
had far more moments when I didn’t want to be anywhere else in the
world, such as watching the sun come up on East Cape, or looking out on
Milford Sound.
I made so many friends from all over the world, who I wouldn’t want to be without!”

“My stay there was simply fantastic! I really liked the combination
of work and travel, because I got to know the country as a holidaymaker
and was simultaneously living amongst the "Kiwis" (as New Zealand’s
people are fondly nicknamed) and integrated into their culture”.
Janine worked twice for longer periods, as well as travelling many
kilometres. Her first job was a classic job for Working Holidaymakers
in New Zealand; packing kiwis!
”I stood at a counting table and inspected kiwis for signs of decay
or other deficiencies. I sorted out the bad ones and packed the rest.”
Janine’s second job was room service in a hotel in Queenstown, on South
Island, New Zealand. “I cleaned hotel rooms and made them inhabitable
for new guests. I had very nice, open and helpful colleagues in both
jobs, who made it enjoyable, even if the job itself wasn’t always
pleasant or interesting. My stay in New Zealand was an unforgettable
experience which I would do all over again if I had the chance!
