Hello!
I am a Canadian, planning on traveling Europe next year...
I am planning on leaving in the fall (october/november), i still have no idea as to the logistics of where and when...
I am wondering whether the weather in Europe is decent at that time... or if I should wait until the spring.
Or.... If the weather is unpleasant I am planning on heading to the southernmost part of Europe, or hop across to South Eastern Asia to find a job for a few months.
If anyone has had a job in any of these places, or could give me some advice it would be much appreciated!!!... especially since I currently cannot speak any other language but english and minimal french.
So basically, is it possible to get a decent job for a few months in southern Europe with limited linguistic skills.
I am welcoming any advice, I would just like to learn all I can before I go!
Thank you!!! : )

Basically no, unless you have a working visa or are willing to work under the table accepting all the potential risks involved.

chances to get a decent job without language skills will be difficult. If you take illegal work, the payment will be low, not to mention insurance...

The weather is exactly the same as in N. America. (Alaska to Mexico) That comes from being in the same latitudes.

Your chances of getting work are the same as those of a Mexican illegal in Canada with no English skills.

You obviously have no knowledge of European climate, geography or immigration law. That being the case, I feel my two comments above are most likely to put it in terms you will understand.
