Imagine you live in a country where there's no where else to go for miles around, and you're young, and you want to see the world - then it might make a little more sense :-)
It is really common though. It's referred to as your OE (overseas experience) and a lot of people do it. Many just to Australia, but the Uk and Canada are very common too. Mostly because there are reciprocal relationships with those countries that make it easier.
