My sister went to Switzerland to be an au pair (live-in nanny). Not only is your room and board paid for, but you also make some extra money for just living with the family and watching the kids. The main purpose of having an au pair is so these kids in a French-speaking country can grow up speaking English in their home, so you don't need to know the language. There are also au pair clubs so you can meet others taking a year off, share stories or tips, and go on field trips together to travel and see the sites of Europe. My sister spent Christmas in Paris! If you like this answer and end up choosing it as the best, I'll get the info from my sister on how to get more information and apply for a family. By the way, she got to live in Geneva.The other option is to teach English in asia. Korea has 1-year contracts where they pay for a furnished apartment, your plane tickets, and some of your bills, on top of a salary. You don't need to know how to teach, just be a native speaker of English. They'll provide you the curriculum - I think they prefer it that way anyway. Plus, tutoring on the side will bring in a lot of extra spending money. You can earn $45/hour for English lessons.
