Picking the world (planting, picking, packing and prunning, agriculture job is ideal for travellers)

3,422 members412 posts

Making money while travelling is difficult specially because even for seasonal jobs you need almost to stay 4 months and not talking about visas here! But agriculture gives you short therm jobs specially in the harvest time. Even if you haven't touch a tree in your life, you'll be able to earn enough. It is hard work though. You need to work all day long to make good money, these jobs are not for everyone! You need mental strengh, phisical strengh, patience and an MP3! I hope here everybody can share experiences so the rest of people can have good info beforehand!... PLEASE READ the few lines of GUIDELINES before posting, specially if you are from the USA.

Fruit trees in Salzburg, Austria

I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the famous apple trees in Salzburg? I am very interested in touring the area and seeing the agriculture relating to fruit trees. :)
