Finished University. Want to spend 4 months abroad.

I'm a fairly experienced groom and not a bad -2 player. Basically I'm looking to work at a ranch/club for about 4 months plus starting around September/November. Ideally I would like to work for my rent/food, then pay for any coaching I receive on top. I really  want to get out of the UK for as long as possible. I'm NOT looking for a vacation, but more just work experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated.See More
