Travel job or work opportunities in europe for a young american?

Hello am a 18 year old male, looking to see parts of europe. I dont have much money saved at the moment tho. Is there some sort of jobs or work i could do in exchange for staying in one of the coutries while making some money?

It's not so easy for Americans to live and work in Europe. You can't just show up and look for a job. Legally, you need to have a visa which allows you to live in & work in the country you choose. Typically (at least here in Italy), you cannot apply for the visa while you're in the country and you need to have a job offer and paperwork from the employer and Italian government to submit with the visa request. A better way to go might be to apply to a school here and get a student visa.

One of the first thing you need to consider is where you're interested in living. There isn't space here to include everything and there's good advice for specific countries available on various websites like: http://www.expatsinitaly.com/before/getting_here.html

Please be aware that as an American, you will have to file tax returns in both the US and the country where you're living.
