In this article, we would like to explain why we have not found work in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa. After all Australia is perceived as the new Eldorado for a lot of backpackers.

It was one of those eyes open, wide awake mornings, where you are instantly aware of your surroundings and the events of the upcoming day. Yep, it only took a split second for me to fully register that this would be the last time I would wake up as a twenty-something. As dramatic as that sounds, I kid you not, this is a big deal for me. I thought the day would be painful, turns out it was, but not in the way I was expecting! Off to work I went, excited about my looming trip to Perth, but having so much to get through before then. I knew we were having a ‘special’ morning tea but I never thought I would experience so much love from the staff/students at school. My wonderful ‘fairy godmother’ made ... read more
