10/10 would recommend.

I tried to move overseas before going with Global Work and Travel and it was difficult. I had to find a job but to get a job I needed to know where to live to rent a flat I needed a stable income. It was a constant battle. I could have done it but Global Work and Travel took the stress out of it. Having so many job matches and most who offer staff accommodation. I knew I was going to be safe. I’ve met so many amazing people at my job and I’m having such a great time. My arrival coordinator Sarah was also there to contact me when I first arrived and she was just chatting with me like we were close friends. It didn’t feel businesslike at all, which made me feel comfortable and like I had someone to go to if I needed to.

Absolutely incredible

This trip was my first abroad volunteering experience with a company. It was absolutely incredible! The rescue was brilliant. All the dogs and the cats were so cool to see and work with, all so friendly and cute. The staff were very friendly. The other volunteers were amazing, have come away with many new friends. I loved the volunteer house, spacious and close to the beach which is so groovy and places to eat on the same road. The trip was that good iv re booked to go again next year!❤️ it was so worth the money and the time

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
First arriving into the house on arrival day. So nerve racking as you will be going into a house with all new people who have been there longer then you. I went in confident and friendly (approachable) and said Hi to everyone and let the conversations go from there. Everyone was super friendly and kind. Getting to know everyone makes it fun. Sharing stories and getting to know there career paths and learning from them.
Pros
  • Made friends with incredible people
  • Got to work with an incredible rescue
  • Being with the dogs and the cats everyday
Cons
  • No work on the weekends

Global Work & Travel

Would 100% recommend Global Work & Travel, I have been here for a month now and it has been absolutely amazing, the support I have received has been amazing, I have seen the most beautiful beaches, mountains, and also city’s and there’s so much more to be seen! From boat trips to bungee jumping, river rafting, and drinking beers in the sun! New Zealand has definitely got my heart and can not wait for the rest of my working holiday here, I have had the best month of my life, and I am so glad I made the decision to come here, thanks to global I am having the time of my life

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment has to be when I fell out of the river rafting boat on the 7 meter waterfall! I was the only person to fall out but the photos I had in return was definitely worth it!

An awesome company

Before arriving I was nervous about the whole idea of me moving across the entire world alone. Thankfully I kept reaching out to my travel advisers from Global Work and Travel, and she answered all questions I sent her. this company has been the best experience of my life! I felt secure as soon as I landed and I still do to this day. I got a job before I arrived and started working and on the second day I got lucky and got a house with all of my coworkers and we had the best time. it’s so much fun!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
the most exciting thing i have done on this trip is bungee jumping!
Pros
  • Fun
  • Exciting
  • Memorable

Best decision of my life

Global Work & Travel have been so helpful and essential to make my abroad dreams come true. From assisting me in finding a job and getting flights, to just knowing that if you need to talk to someone, your trip advisor is always there.

I’ve had so many amazing experiences so far in the UK and can’t wait to see what else the UK and Europe have for me to see. I wholeheartedly suggest Global.

Thank you Global and my trip advisor Sarah for supporting me in the travels. You have been so helpful and to know that if I’m ever stuck, looking for new opportunities to travel, or just need someone to talk to that I can reach out has meant so much.

Pros
  • Seeing the world
  • Making new friends
  • Feeling free
Cons
  • Missing home at times (but it’s worth it)

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
  • Included experiences - hikes, wildlife sanctuary, surfing, & Great Barrier Reef
Cons
  • Delay in finding second work placement

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
