Ireland Trip

I have had the most amazing experience with global work and travel from start to finish! My team - in particular my arrivals coordinator Krystal has been absolutely incredible the whole time and I have always felt supported! I’m even considering booking another trip with you guys! Everything was so well organised from the very beginning and there was not one moment where I felt like I was waiting on them to move things along. All the included extras have been amazing as well! So thankful I booked this!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I get really stressed out in public transport and on a trip to London found myself crying at the train station infuriated because I couldn’t figure it out. It was at this moment that Krystal (my arrivals coordinator) called me just to check in and see how I had been doing only to then have to coach me through the train station 😂
Pros
  • I didn’t have to worry about not having all the correct paper work
  • They really accommodated the trip to what I wanted to do!
  • The job I got set up with is so amazing I’m going to struggle to leave!
Cons
  • Truly can’t think of any

Amazing Working Holiday Experience in Australia!

I have had an AMAZING experience with Global Work & Travel and especially with my Trip Coordinator, Bella, who helped me set up my Working Holiday in Australia. 🛫🌏🇦🇺

Bella guided me throughout the whole process of getting all my details together, set up my phone number, organized my trips, set up my Australian Tax File Number, helped me find a work position, and answered questions I had along the way. Honestly, I am really happy that I made the decision to go with GW&T because it saved me a lot of time and energy.

Could I have done all of this myself? Yes, but it would have been a lot of work that I did not have the time for. What I like about going through GW&T is that I can reach out for help or trip advice, and if I need to apply for another job they can connect me with their partners. Thanks again Bella and the rest of the GW&T team! 🎉🙌🏼

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
- Do your research ahead of time
- Ask questions to your Travel Coordinator
- Be open minded
- Don't be afraid to take calculated risks
- Try new things!
Have fun!!
Pros
  • Amazing customer service
  • Beautiful scenery and weather in Australia

Global Work and Travel

Global Work and Travel is a great company to use when getting to the country you would love to experience. Moving to a new country can be daunting but it was made easy with my travel coordinator Betty. They help every step of the way starting from just enquiring to introductions at orientation day ensuring a great start to a new country. I would recommend this company to others. If you want to experience a new country and no idea where to start, why not let someone do it for you. Thanks Global Work and Travel!

Pros
  • Good communication
  • Inclusions for arrival
  • Personal coordinator
Cons
  • Time differences
  • Flight and insurance expensive

My experience with Global Work and Travel

My travel coordinator Krystal went above and beyond from my initial interaction with her to the moment I landed in the UK. She made the whole process stress free and I felt so supported with her consistent positive energy. I was able to instantly connect with other Global Travellers making the move away from home a whole lot easier. The stress of trying to meet new people is made so much easier and I have now made friends for life!
I couldn’t recommend Krystal and her team at Global Work and Travel enough.

Pros
  • Stress free solo travel!
  • Great way to meet new people!
  • Constant support from travel coordinator!

A Spanish adventure

I embarked on this trip with no Spanish language whatsoever. I also didn’t know a soul in the country. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning Spanish with the school. The teachers are incredibly friendly and helpful and the small class sizes make for an more personalised learning experience. Admittedly it did take me some weeks to make friends and feel settled. However, I believe this is completely normal for anyone moving to a new country. The accommodation I was placed in was not what I was hoping for. But both the school and the agency were very quick to assist me in finding a more suitable set up when I raised this with them. I did hope that there would be other students taking part in the same program, however I believe this program is a new addition and will only grow in popularity. Would certainly recommend this trip to anyone considering learning Spanish in Spain!

Pros
  • Ideal class times
  • Plenty of free time
  • A handy guide to the city
Cons
  • My host family accommodation
  • The price
  • Lack of other students participating in the same program

Anthony for Global work and travel

The on the ground support has been both positive and negative.
I have mixed feelings about the support offered.
For the amount of money paid, the resulting outcome was less than satisfactory. It would have been cheaper and potentially easier to do it on my own, without the middlemen.

I’m saying that, Chelsea has been an amazing person who really knows what she does and is very knowledgeable about her interests. She’s very straightforward with her intentions and she is always willing to talk, and give advice when necessary.

Pros
  • Learn new and important skills
  • See the world
  • Full cultural immersion
Cons
  • Lack of support to get started
  • Costly

Has been really great to get out of my comfort zone and global has helped me in doing so, Chelsea has been there from the start to help with anything I need definitely will use them again for my next trip away. I would recommend this to all my friends, definitely good if you’re a solo traveler as you don’t feel alone always have someone there if you have any questions. What’s best is they help with everything your visa, job ect, I never felt uneasy with working with they had everything sorted for me

Pros

  • Friendly
Cons
  • Not a lot of communication
  • Can wait a while for information

the best ever!

Global Work & Travel has been an absolute godsend in helping me organize my working holiday in Canada. From helping me secure a job in Canada prior to leaving Australia, to helping me set up a bank account and phone number and go through the visa process- I would not have been able to do it without them.
My arrival coordinator Mark was so helpful- he was always available to answer any questions I had and made me feel so at ease with the whole process! Moving countries can be incredibly scary but GW&T genuinely made me feel so comfortable with every step of the way

Pros
  • Multiple job interviews set up for you
  • You have designated staff members helping you coordinate your trip
  • The process is SO much easier and stress free
Cons
  • Sometimes you may not get the job/location you want

Ireland Working Holiday

From the moment I decided to take on the experience and excitement of a working holiday, the Global work & Travel Agency has been a huge help in making my plans come together. Every step of the process was fun, light hearted, helpful and genuinely supportive. They did all the ground work which made the load that much lighter straight to landing in Ireland. I felt safe and comfortable with all of the things that I needed to do and it was a much easier transition that I expected it to be.
A special thanks to Krystal who was extremely helpful and supportive once I arrived and made me fell at ease. I was nervous about getting from place to place especially since I was spending the first few days in Dublin before I headed to Cork where I would be living and working. If you’re looking to do a working holiday, this is the way to go!

Pros
  • Helpful
  • Supportive
  • Ease of the mind

I have learned so much about myself, and grown in confidence in such a short time!
Pros
  • Meeting like minded people
  • Amazing teachers and students
  • A fun learning environment
Cons
