Global Work and Travel Experience

Global work and travel have been very helpful leading up to my move to Vietnam. They connected me with their team members who answered all of my questions. Ellen and her team were very responsive and gave me ongoing support. They also partnered with XploreAsia in Vietnam who I would also recommend dealing with. This shows that they do not cut corners with companies they partner up with to make sure their customers have the best experience. GW&T also offer other services for overseas work and travelling experience so make sure you check those out as well.

Pros
  • Amazing course teachers with ongoing support
  • The experience is unique and fun!
  • You get to meet amazing people who are in the same journey as you
Cons
  • It can get very hectic

The perfect way to start traveling!

I have never traveled outside of the country before but I have longed to do so for years. When I came across this program and opportunity to Au-Pair for a family in Italy, I was beyond thrilled!

I had no idea what steps I needed to take to be able to live overseas, but my team helped me every step of the way and I was able to travel in no time with ease and little to no stress. You guys handled everything for me! From the visa and passport application to my flights overseas. All I needed to do was hop on that plane!

Not only is this program worth the investment because of the endless support, but it is also very safe for first time travelers and young women like me. My team made sure that the family I would be staying with a loving and supportive family that would make me feel comfortable in this foreign country.

I have had a wonderful experience with this program so far and I can’t thank my team enough for all the support they have given me!

Pros
  • Support
  • Exploring new countries and cities
  • Safety
Cons
  • Social network (finding friends is hard even with the G-World social network)
  • Expensive

Au Pair France

So far my experience as an au pair in France has been great! I had the freedom to solo travel a little through Spain and Portugal before meeting my host family too which was amazing! I then was lucky enough to go on holidays with my host family - they showed me the countryside and Corsica which was an incredible opportunity to see different landscapes and eat delicious food! My host family are all really lovely and have heaps of tips on things for me to do locally and further away too. The kids are gorgeous and the schedule allows me to explore during the day and go away for weekends too! I’ve met lots of great people and have become friends with lots of other au pairs which is so fun to have people to explore paris with and to plan holidays all of Europe with too!

Pros
  • Local guides in your host family
  • Lots of other au pairs to make friends with
  • The ability to travel around France and broader Europe during the holidays
Cons
  • The pocket money/pay is not very much

Teaching in Thailand

Nichola and David have been so helpful during this process. The journey to getting to Thailand was so much easier and smoother with their help, on my own I wouldn't know where to start. Since I've been here I've made some amazing friends, eaten the most delicious food and seen the most beautiful sites. Everyone working on the TESOL course is so helpful and supportive, the instructors will help you every step of the way. My experience with Global Work & Travel has been nothing but positive. Any question I had or help I needed Nichola was always happy to help. If you are thinking of going on an adventure to Thailand GO FOR IT! you definitely won't regret it and Global Work & Travel will make the process so simple and easy for you.

Pros
  • Beautiful historical sites and Temples
  • Delicious Thai food
  • You'll make amazing connections with amazing people
Cons
  • Missing friends and family

Positive review

The team at Global have been amazing at helping me go to Australia. My coordinator Bella and her colleagues were so helpful, answering all my questions and setting up the necessary paperwork. The most important thing for me was finding a job in Australia, this team made this task so easy which I am grateful for. I would so recommend booking with these guys! They make travel easy especially as a solo traveller as you get to meet other travellers who also book through this organisation. I have formed many new friendships from this experience which all started from this amazing organisation.

Pros
  • Great advice
  • Helped meet fellow travellers
  • Helped with documentation

Settling in seamlessly!

My partner and I have just finished our first couple weeks in Auckland New Zealand with Global Work and Travel for our working holiday! The jobs global organised for us have been incredible, the company I am with shows so much care already for employees and I’m enjoying every single shift. Finding our accommodation in the CBD was made super easy with Globals advice and support with banking, organised jobs, free experiences to explore the city and helpful advice for settling in! We are both loving the experience and grateful for Globals support!

Pros
  • Great job opportunities
  • Incredible inclusions
  • Helpful support & guidance
Cons
  • Organising accommodation separately

New Zealand Working Holiday!

Have always wanted to explore & experience New Zealand. Global helped that happen, by guiding me through every step & asking what I wanted. I am now living in Auckland CBD in an amazing apartment with a job I love & a lifestyle I have always wanted. The whole process was very easy & enjoyable, my trip coordinator Bella helped with everything & went out of her way to ensure it was all perfect. Beyond grateful I did this! Would highly recommend if you want to work & travel. It’s a great way to travel, work, experience the culture & meet like minded people 🌎

Pros
  • Risk is removed with the support of Global.
  • Moving abroad is so easy & enjoyable with Global.
  • I now have the lifestyle I want.
Cons
  • Hard to find staff accommodation in NZ. But easy to find normal shared or private accommodation.

Global work and travel

It was a great experience overall, I went there with an open mind and enjoyed meeting new people and learning about the local community. It’s great partner up with a program when travelling on your own and for the first time. There was always someone that I could communicate with about the trip and knowing I’d something went wrong they would be there to me solve the problem every step of the way. I am grateful for the travel opportunity while being partnered with Global Work and Travel. Thanks!

Pros
  • Feeling safe travelling alone
Cons
  • It was overpriced when I could have gone directly through the volunteer program myself

Elephant rehabilitation volunteer

Hey, I’m Sonya and I have recently volunteered at a elephant rehabilitation centre in Chiang Mai Thailand.
I had the best time ever, such a once in a lifetime experience which I’m so grateful that I had this opportunity, it changed my life. I met so many amazing people who are now my life friends. Volunteering at the sanctuary with the elephants was such great fun, learning about the animals and understanding how these animals have been treated historically and now because of the sanctuary and the work that is being done to protect the elephants is incredible and inspiring. I would recommend anyone that is thinking about doing such an amazing thing to definitively do it, you will love it and will never forget the experience.. I would like to thank the staff from Global for being so kind and friendly, and very helpful

Pros
  • Enlightenment
  • Educational
  • Friendly

Sea Turtle Conservation - Costa Rica

I didn’t really know what to expect with this work.

I absolutely loved the location. I loved walking around and finding new beaches. I would however express to others that activity wise, there is nothing really around. So you have to create your own activities.

There is such excitement in knowing that you are helping the environment.
Hatchlings make all the night shift worth it.

Definitely brush up on Spanish and enjoy the culture. Everyone is really friendly and willing to help out!

A worthwhile experience!

Pros
  • Home cooked meals
  • Helping the environment
  • Meeting new people
Cons
  • Night shifts
  • 2km walk to accomodation at night (sometimes solo)
  • Not close to pharmacy/shops
