For me personally, I'm looking at Europe. I'm coming from America so I could possibly get away with 3 month stints on a Schengen visa, but I've been looking for long-term 6-12 months.
I'm just starting to look into this though, so general tips/resources/strategies for getting the proper permits is always a plus.
As an aside, I'd never heard the term "Working Holiday" before so that in and of itself is a new avenue of approach.

It's not much at the moment but I hope it becomes a useful resource. You might find the following interesting: Irish Working Holiday Program Dutch American Friendship Treaty German Blue Card (Need a job in Germany, but those are supposed to be easy to get and the Blue Card gives you freedom to live and work in the EU after only three years). Also, it's true you can bounce between Schengen and non-Schengen Europe, but I wouldn't assume immigration officers will always be delighted with you.
