Lovely and welcoming!

The orientation was fun and informative, Emre was welcoming and well informed. I was feeling slightly overwhelmed since I didnt do a lot of research before coming here - but the team has been very helpful and made me feel a lot more calm. Its good that there are a lot of support systems and trips that Global offers (like setting up the sims, bank account etc) so I'm ready to hit the ground running on my working holiday! Brianna has been very supportive and resourceful - always checking in with us and happy to send us resources :)

Very welcoming vibes and informative orientation!

The travel coordinators were very welcoming and the orientation very informative.
The information provided will be very helpful with my stay in Vancouver as I have not done much research before coming here! The accommodation and airport pick up organised by the travel coordinator was very helpful. I am very much looking forward to my stay in Vancouver and all the touristy activities. Brianna has been very resourceful and supportive with housing and job search information. Can't wait to experience more!

Global work and travel

Eimear is a star and was a massive part of my planning for Canada. Best decision of my life booking a working holiday with global. I would highly recommend it to anyone. My advice is do it while you're young in as many countries as you can.

Planning a trip anywhere can be difficult and stressful but global managemanaged to help with everything I needed and Eimear was a great help during covid with all the updates.

I've been in Canada 2 years now and awaiting my PR. I can honestly say it changed my life for the better and I love it here.

Pros
  • Accommodation
  • Job
  • Bank account
Cons
  • Isn't for everyone
  • Can be hard work
  • Cost

Super helpful

The coordinators are wonderful, super friendly, and helpful. It is expensive to do but if you're a new or nervous traveler it's a great way to go. Advertising is not always clear about the time span you'll be able to travel in so your timeline needs to be flexible for when you want to travel. But overall the experience has been really positive and if you want a supportive and helpful travel company that is responsive, and easy to contact then I highly recommend traveling with Global Work and travel.

Pros
  • Supportive Staff
  • Highly Informative
  • Easy
Cons
  • Set's unrealistic expectation about timeline

Friendly service

Very helpful with the visa process as there is a complete step by step guide to all of the questions that are asked. Also very helpful with the orientation and getting bank accounts ready and sims ready to use.
The pick up transfers from the airport are a bonus and the inclusions are great - Vegas trip, transfers to Whistler, discounted offers for other travel and food companies.
Very friendly, lovely ladies that met with us in the orientation office who provided lots of information on the country, food, culture etc. Thank you again!

Global

I think Global is a great experience as it helps you with housing, job search and helps you set up all your documents. It helps to show a sign of independence and learn new experiences whilst working in a different country, Make new friends and travel a bit more during this experience. You get connected with a trip co-ordinator. They then help with visas, online applications etc. you then also get a travel Concierge they help with flights as they book flights on your behalf. Soon after you get connected with an arrival accordinator who is located in the country you will be arriving to. They go over jobs, locations and gives you an overview of the country stating the best places to see and visit. Arrival co ordinators will also keep in touch with you until the moment of arriving into the country.

Pros
  • helps with independence
  • great overall experience
  • great for work in a new country

Julie-anne

I had the pleasure of being placed with Julie fort trip. She was nothing short of amazing!! She made the whole process easier by giving great advice and making sure everything was in order especially with things like my visa, she gave me step by step instructions on how to complete it so it gets processed asap! My friend and I were placed with Julie for this experience and both of us have had the easiest transition and had such a great time choosing families with Julie’s help. I can’t recommend her enough!

Pros
  • Amazing cultural experience
  • Networking with so many other Aupairs and making great friendships
  • Travelling
Cons
  • Only here for 12 months

AuPair

I recommend anyone who has a love for children and travel to be an AuPair in a foreign country. You are so well looked after by your manager and any questions you have will be answered. I was worried that I would feel lonely and isolated, but it’s the opposite, you are always included in the family activities if you want too be, they take trips and go away on weekends and you’re invited to come or welcome to stay home and explore. They respect that you are away from home and are open to your needs, there are many different families i came in contact with in all areas, and I chose one that I felt met my needs and what I was looking for. As an Australian the family was very happy to have me teaching their eldest fluent english, and many beach trips. My manager Julie-Anne was very involved and brought me comfort towards the fact there was many other AuPairs in my area that she could connect me with.

Pros
  • Travel
  • Expanding your experience with children
  • New culture, food and family
Cons
  • Language barrier
  • Away from home

Working Holiday in New Zealand

I signed up for work holiday in New Zealand with a friend, and my trip coordinator was Kim Olsen. She was very helpful and friendly through out my entire process leading up to New Zealand, when I arrived in Auckland, and during my journey on the ground.

Kim was always available via email or phone call and always reminded us that she was there to help, she made me feel like I had support even in my most confused moments. Thank you, Kim! :))

I've been in New Zealand for a little over a month and so far am enjoying my experience, and I still have some excursions left to do that is offered through Global Work and Travel. :))

Pros
  • Meet new people also in the programme
  • Built in excursions and tours
  • Help setting up cell phone service and bank account

Great staff

All Global staff have been lovely and been so helpful throughout the whole process. Eimear who was my coordinator was amazing and so kind in response to any questions about the trip. Travelled to Canada, for a job in Jasper, Alberta. Global has loads of partners around Canada and have made me feel like I have loads of opportunities while I am here, even though I have just started! Flew out to Vancouver before travelling to my job, and all of Global's staff were so welcoming and orientation was very helpful for me.
