Working within the EU is obviously easier as it doesn't require a work permit. Many UK tour operators require staff throughout the season or you could work directly for an employers in your chosen country. Foreign language skills help but are not essential.

Outside of the EU employers will usually require you to obtain all the necessary visas before you start work.
