Mobility for work and travel is often aligned with conceptions of youth and possibilities that movement entails for cultural capital accumulation and self‐development. This article reflects on this connection by investigating the experiences of Taiwanese working holidaymakers in New Zealand. Our discussion reveals contrasting notions of youth expressed through working holidays and highlights how imaginative freedoms associated with the figure of the working holidaymaker are articulated through societal expectations, social infrastructures and temporal limits. The findings call for further research on the imbrication of working holidays with mutating notions of youth and their implications for the lived experience of mobility.
