I spent about 4 years working overseas for a UK tour operator as a rep - and had a great time. I'm not one for the party lifestyle, so don't think that's all that repping is about. I worked with people from all walks of life and all ages - some married couples in their 50s, through to 20 year olds getting away from home for their first time. Spent my time in Greece, Egypt and France (ski). It's not great pay, but I managed to save up a bit and it's a pretty self sufficient lifestyle. Meet completely new people, see new things (been to the Pyramids a couple of times).. all good fun.
