looking to work overseas

hi, i am a 23 year old electrician. i will be finishing my inside wireman apprenticeship in a year. when i finish, i am thinking about working overseas. i have never left the country, or even been on a plane. i dont have a wife or any kids, so i will be able to freely travel. anyways i have heard a lot about people working in iraq and austraulia. i was just wondering if there was anywhere else where they need electricians, and any info about iraq and austraulia. like what the pay is, hours, living there, and any other important info. i would be more interested in austraulia then iraq. my friend was in the marines, and was over in austraulia and he said the girls there love american men. so anyways i am just wondering where would be a good place for a young guy to make some serious money, and have fun, and meet girls. thanks
