I've never lived outside of North America and would like to experience that for a while before possibly coming back and finding a job in another field (I'll worry about that later), but I have no idea about what opportunities, if any, are out there. If there's nothing that I can do for work, I'll probably just use my savings to be the too-old backpacker in hostels for a few months, but I'd ideally stretch it out a little longer by finding a job and spending some quality time somewhere. I'm open to pretty much anywhere. Any ideas?

1. Surf Shop/Live on Gold Coast. Kirra's got a huge surf shop and it's 2blocks from the beach, rent is $300-$400/week. Pay would be ~$20/hr.
2. FIFO work for one of the mines/oil and gas...live anywhere you want in Australia and fly in to site for 2weeks on/2weeks off. Just tell them about your chemical engineering degree and your want to start at the bottom.
