: Working Holiday: How are the living arrangements organised for a working holiday?
I would like to go on a working holiday to another country. However, I do not know how the living arrangements are set up.
It would be great if someone who has done a working holiday before could help me out with this question.

You set it up yourself.
All a working holiday visa does is it allows you to enter the country to live and work for a period of time. Beyond that, everything else is up to you.
Any more specific answer about how to go about finding accommodation will depend to at least some extent on the country.
In Australia for example, most people on WHVs travel around the country picking up casual work as they go. They stay in youth and backpacker hostels for a few days or a week or so at a time; they rent or buy camper vans and stay in them; they carry small tents and camping equipment and stay in camping grounds; when they want to stay somewhere for several months, they rent a room in shared accommodation. If they want to stay for 6 months or longer in one place, they may rent an apartment but in Australia at least, that’s not easy to do if they don’t have a steady job – most will go for shared accommodation where the other tenant/s hold the lease.
