european travel

[Btoddw2]

first off i just would like to say hello to everyone and kind of introduce myself. My name is Ben and im a 19 year old college student here in the USA.

my question is... I have been seriously thinking of moving to europe for a few years to work and travel. I really would just like to learn more about different cultures and i think it would be a good learning experience and help make me a more "round" person in general. Is this a difficult or rigorous proscess? Id like to travel to countries like the netherlands, France, and Germany to work and live during this time. These are my main intrests, but im open to change. exactly what would i have to obtain to be allowed to travel and work as well?

any help would be great.
thanks, Ben

Questions:

• What citizenship do you have?
  What have you studied?
  Where are your parents and grandparents from and what citizenships do (or did) they have? (see http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/)

You might want to talk with the career advisory office at your college who may know of opportunities for moving to europe. One possibility is an organization like http://www.iaeste.org/ which arranges bilateral exchanges supported by the appropriate visa. Talk also with the person who organizes international exchange programs at your college (if there is one).
