Costa Rica Animal Sanctuary

This was such an amazing experience. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. We made our own little family at the sanctuary and went on day trips together and fed the animals together it was great. I would have liked to have been more prepared on the environment I was coming into (food, bedding, showers, etc.) obviously the animals were so cute and fun definitely worth the money. Other than while at the sanctuary you go on day trips and I recommend booking the driver and trip yourself because they charge you extra for them to book it.

Pros
  • The animals
  • The Sanctuary building
  • The people
Cons
  • The bathrooms
  • The bugs
  • The humidity

Life Changing Experience

Teaching in South Korea has really changed my life! I adore working with the students and my school offers me great support with whatever I need. I love how close I am to Seoul without living in the hustle and bustle of that city. Everything is very convenient and all the unique experiences I've been having are so amazing! I loved seeing all the cherry blossoms in spring and I am looking forward to seeing them again. I really enjoy trying all the new and different foods that are here too. I definitely recommend South Korea as an awesome teaching experience!

Pros
  • Convenient
  • Unique
  • Amazing food
Cons
  • Tough to communicate at times

Teach Japan

Japan is an amazing country with a very unique culture and way of life. There is a mix of modern and traditional combined and every place is different. I would recommend walking around and exploring as much as possible in your area, you will find little unique shops (a lot of them food) are all over the place. If you can, explore different cities and places outside of where you live, as each city and province is different from the next. The climate, traditions, food, and way of life vary and change across Japan, so each place has new things to see and learn.

Pros
  • Lots to see and do
  • Amazing food
  • The kids are always so excited to have an ALT
Cons
  • Must cover tattoo's and some piercings
  • Schedules can change last minute
  • If you are not use to public transport, it can be a bit overwhelming to start with

Life changing

For me, this trip was entirely a spontaneous decision with a need for feeling alive again. I went on this trip alone, but not for a moment did I feel lonely, or unsafe as a young female travelling alone. The centre itself was incredible. The animals were treated extraordinarily well, and the staff and volunteers were all wholeheartedly dedicated to giving them the best life. I had the absolute best time, and it’s an experience I think everybody should go for, especially animal lovers! Go for it!

Pros
  • Great social aspect in finding friends in fellow volunteers, and the opportunity to travel around the country at the same time with trips organised by the centre.
  • Having fun while also providing rescue animals with a better life
  • Incredible standard of food and accommodation provided.
Cons
  • I can’t think of a single one!

Au Pair

I went through the global work and travel agency to help me with the whole process of becoming an Au Pair in France. Through this process I have different people helping me with different parts of the trip/process and all have been amazing. My Au Pair manager Julie-Anne I have had the lost contact with, she has been outstanding especially when bumps arise, she went above and beyond to help me with everything I’ve needed to do in this process so far. She has made this process as smooth as possible for me.

Pros
  • The independence
  • Feeling safe with the agency

Au Pair in Milan (June 2022 - June 2023)

I have had the best time Au Pairing in Milan, I'm excited to do another one! My host family was perfectly matched with me, and we've had such a lovely, stress-free and special time together. They have been so welcoming and flexible, I have learnt and seen so much! I've managed to see 15 new countries and many more fabulous cities. I couldn't have asked for a better host family and experience! I had the days off (when the child was at school) so I have been able to complete a year of my degree too which has been amazing. I've met the nicest people and made friends for life which I'm so grateful for.

Pros
  • Live in a new city and get to know a family
  • Travel
  • Have spare time to explore/study/meet people

Maddi Global Trip

Maria was such an amazing help with my trip to Canada. This was my first trip overseas and Maria really helped with everything from my worries/concerns to making sure I get the job I really wanted to experience whilst here. She was in constant communication with me which was nice and never made me feel like a burden when I asked one of my many questions.

Since arriving to Canada, I've been to orientation and Mark was great! He made the place feel safe and exciting and was happy to answer any questions.

Pros
  • Great workers
  • Amazing job opportunities

the presentation by mark was very informative, he made it interactive and fun. left it open for questions at the end and room for chats by everyone.

getting into canada was very easy going and not as hard as i thought it was going to be but after that the limousine service was awful. it was hard to find the driver as he was waiting in the car and a hassle once we did find him. not being able to check into the hotel after being on nearly a 14 hour flight was not ideal but the hostel itself was accommodating and tried to have the room cleared early.

global work and travel and brianna herself, has been very helpful though.

Pros
  • job security
  • accommodation
  • staff always available
Cons
  • constant emails
  • elfies limousine service
  • not being able to check into the hotel after a 13 hour flight

Working Holiday - Canada

My experience with Global Work and Travel was excellent. I had wanted to travel Canada for a long time but was unsure as to how to sort everything, Brianna helped me through the whole process. Getting a Visa was one of my biggest worries as well as finding temporary work in different areas while I travelled, but both ended up being so easy as I was shown through the visa process step by step and I have loads of employment connections with interviews arranged so I don't have to worry. I was also given loads of information about different places to travel to.

Pros
  • Visa Information
  • Finding jobs easily
  • Information about places to travel
