I’m planning to come out for 2024 , cannot wait. I’m in that saving period !! So right. Don’t stress. This videos cure my travelling depression
Thanks for watching ! Yes save save save it’ll all be worth it 🤩
@@DainLuka posi vibes
In that exact position myself man. 2024 hwfg
@@cameronmurray1151 see you out there !
2024 gang🎉 hopefully everything goes well for us
After living in Edinburgh (Scotland) for 10 years, I'm now also planning to move to that amazing country. The weather does so much to you mentally. It's impossible not to be depressed with all the clouds and rainy weather most of the year. Awesome vid!
Hey there.
Can you tell me more about what's like to live in Edinburg?
Thanks for watching ! I agree. Good Weather = better mood. Obviously living here has its pitfalls but when the sky is blue everyday you just feel good about life 😊
people live in this type of weather for mileniums
@@nathan_408cool, but I don’t want to
Not all Aussies live on the coast or in large cities and we actually enjoy the lifestyle here in the "bush." I live in Mildura, (known as the centre of Victoria's Food Bowl) four hours from the closest beach in Adelaide and six hours from Melbourne. The cities ain't bad if you like driving in traffic and being in a queue. However, I prefer to sit on my porch and watch the changing pallet of colours at sunset.
The cost of living here, and the quality of food, is pretty awesome as I rarely have to buy fruit and veggies as we get given heaps. I have never paid for grapes, avocadoes, citrus or pumpkins in particular! We have a transient population of work visa backpackers whom we rely upon to "picka de grapes" and the various other crops. Sometimes small communities of these backpackers form camp communities along the Murray River.
Also I have a shack beside the Murray, 35 minutes' drive from my home. I stay there just me, a woman in her mid 60s, with my dog when I need solitude and to breathe. I never fear anything, even the snakes aren't scary as I have only seen two snakes in the bush in the 50 years I have been camping, but we get about 5 slithery visitors a year at home because we have chooks (chickens)=mice=snakes! Did you know>>>Twice a day, every day there is about 10-15 minutes when the night birds and day birds stop chirping and change over shifts where there is NO noise? Sadly, we don't often get to hear the silence. However, there is nothing more soothing for the soul than sitting on a riverbank watching the sun do her thing while listening to the Absolute stillness and silence. I often don't see another human being for 7-10 days even though the supermarket is 20 minutes' drive away and I like it just fine. If you do get a chance to go bush, find the silence and breathe! And if you can, please visit Uluru if you want to feel where our heartbeat comes from. Thanks for the vid Dain!
You are amazing and so good at these vlogs . I am glad you enjoyed Wollongong , just like I do each time I visit .We did have a lot of rain last year but this year our weather in Sydney is fantastic .
Love the clips of your beautiful new city! Totally into all your Australia content. Sounds like such a great new chapter and direction for your channel. I'm excited to see your adventures and learn more about what you get out of the experience. Looking forward to the next one/s! :)
Thank you 🙏 I’m excited to see where this year goes !
Welcome to Australia mate hope you're enjoying it & the people are treating you well.
Yes I love it 🤩
Super excited for the new series walking through the process of moving to AU! Cant wait!!!!
Yess! Check the moving to Aus playlist
Hopefully that’ll help you 😊
Greats, mate! I used your videos to learn english. Your way to talk is so simple and easy to understand. Thank you!!
Ah thank you :)
Thank you for making these videos about Australia. Keep it up 🤠
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video man. Just left my uni city feeling pretty lost so need a massive change. In the saving period right now and aiming for 2024. Pretty excited
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching ☺️
I've been loving your videos so much. They're super helpful! I'm moving to Australia on a WHV next March, can't wait 😍
Eeeek exciting 😍 have the best time ! Thanks for watching
Hi…..thank you for a realistic perspective on our country. Glad that you are happy here.
Yes 🙌🏻 thanks for watching
Can´t wait to start my journey next year :) I am soo excited!
Thanks for watching ! So excited for you 🤩 hopefully you love Aus as much as me !
I'm planning to move to Australia soon and your videos about AUS always motive me whenever I'm having some doubts, thank you!
Yay ! It’s normal to have doubts ( i had them too ) 😊
I'm so glad to hear that my videos about Australia have been motivating for you! Moving to a new country can be a big step, and it's natural to have doubts along the way. Remember that Australia is a beautiful and diverse place with a lot to offer, and I'm sure you'll have an amazing experience there. If you ever have any questions or need advice as you plan your move, feel free to reach out. Best of luck with your upcoming adventure, and thank you for your kind words! 😊🇦🇺
@@bdfashions2458 do you now if it's easy to get a qualified job with a working holiday visa?
Planning to move this year! ❤ can’t wait
Enjoy 🫶🏼
thanks for sharing!
The timing of this video is impeccable..I just put a deposit down on a tour in Melbourne (dates are open-ended right now), and I'm hoping to go in June 2024! So I really can't wait to hear all about your tips and tricks about moving to Australia, cause for me, it really hasn't sunk in that I'm moving to the other side of the world just yet 😅 Hearing about your experience so far has made me even more excited, and i can't wait for the rest of the series! 😍
yes yes yes 🙌🏻 don’t worry I got you covered ! Your making a banging decision 🤩
Melbournes great if single go for an inner city. Oh and be adventurous anywhere if not say wherever you are. Or just hold your nose and jump. That’s what I did 57 years ago.
Love the content man! Im at a rock and hard place right now. Soon to be finished/ graduated from university and I am torn between doing a working holiday visa in Australia or starting my graduate job in September :) Like the graduate job pays well but I really didn't enjoy working a corporate job, stuck at an office all day during my placment year, sleep issues ect. Like one of the happiest days was when I was finished there but the pay was good and it allowed me to go travelling in Thailand. Spoken to friends, family, career counselors about this decision and they've adviced going graduate scheme route for 1-2 years then quiting and then go travelling/ working abroad. I just worry if I start this job, I might be more risk-adverse/ more responsibilities that prevent me from doing working holiday visa in the future. I also don't have a drivers licence at the moment, which is another thing holding me back from doing a working holiday right off the back of university. Maybe it would be better to get my licence 1st before going. Hearing your thoughts would be appreciated thanks!
That is a toughy! Personally I would go with whatever is going to make you happier and feel more fulfilled. 🙌🏻 who says you can’t have a grad career in Aus ? 😀
glad you like the australian experience! sounds like you're pickin' up some of their accents as well haha!
I think that’s what happens not living in the Uk for 2 years 😂
I’ve always wanted to move to Australia. It’s been a dream of mine since i was a little kid hahaha
Seeing you’re videos literally motivated me even more!
My work and holiday visa just got approved a few days ago,flying to Sydney in two weeks!🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing your positive energy that you’ve provided for all of us!
So happy to hear this 😊 thanks for watching ☺️
How has it been?
Hey any update??
Glad i came across this video, been wanting to get out to Australia and do what you have for ages.. My plan is 2024 i would be out there as soon as but its the flying that scares me as im not a good flyer sounds silly for someone who's worked at an airport and airside for a few years lol. But to get where i want to be its something i need to overcome
Hell yeah!!!! I can totally relate 🫶 I HATE flying the more I do the worst my flight anxiety gets ! I just focus on watching movies and listening to nice podcasts to get me through!
Thanks, Dain! Visa and flight booked and I'm heading to Sydney in September. Am a bit worried about finding somewhere to live and finding work, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for new vids. Never been on long haul either...so any tips about flying and not freaking out would be great.
Ahhh that’s so exciting ! I have got these topics covered 🕺 my best tip for long haul flights is ENJOY it as no one can get
Hold of you it’s the perfect time to relax 😊
Buy a Push Cush (small inflatable cushion) or similar in UK for your feet. Rests, elevates slightly, but it's mainly for the pedalling exercise to keep the circulation going in your legs.
Hi!! I’m also planning on leaving in September! I’ve had my visa since last October but been saving and nervous hahaha
@@Daytondaily Shop Kmart ahead of Target, Aldi ahead of Coles/Woolworths, burger/chicken/bakeries/fish and chip shops ahead of Maccas etc. Pack snacks and lunches from there into cooler bags (insulated bags with an ice brick) and take those with you on trips. The food prices in sight-seeing areas can be quite high. Remember the quoted price is the price you pay, roughly 6/10 of USD, taxes already included and no tips, unless you wish to and think it's well deserved - the national minimum wage is over 14USD, 21AUD.
Hi. Really enjoy your channel.
If you still around Wollongong. There's some nice places to explore near you. Like around Jervis Bay, Berry, Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands.
I LOVE all those places thanks for the recommendations. I love kiama too 🤩
omg ！ i also wanna go australia and live there by WHV visa,but now i just waiting this visa. your video is great!
Thank you :)
Hi Dain! Will love to connect and learn more on how you manage to get a job at Australia! Will you be able to do a video on it? I will love to be able to do something like that (ie. Work in non-profit) apart from farms. Was also curious how you managed your finances during your stay in Aus!
I have a video all about how to get a job 😄 check the moving to Aus playlist 😊 also have a video coming this Sunday on how much I spend living in Aus 😂 thanks for watching !!
Weather makes a huge difference to people's mood. I moved from Melbourne to Brisbane for that reason.
Loved ur video thank you! You have to apply for the working holiday visa before you go right. U can’t just go on holiday and if u like it apply to stay longer
You can only apply for the first year visa off shore. It can take a while to get approved (my first visa took 3 months) so I’d apply as soon as you know your going ! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video man. I love your story telling. Can you please make videos on working in Australia? Like how hard is it to find employment? And hows the pay?
Thanks 🙏 Got you covered ! Next weeks video is all about work 😊
I just suscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉woohoo
Im saving right now and it’s so stressful. I decided to apply last October so now I’m on a time crunch. But I’m 27 and I wanted to take advantage of the full three years.
True story is sunday I wanted to watch Netflix but forgot to pay and didn't have my card on me so I went for the second option: youtube. I am not a CZcams girl but idk what happened today. I've been living in The Netherlands for 7 months now and I'm moving to Australia in 10 days. I want to say this video is just perfect. I love content creators and this types of great videos. Thank you for sharing a bit about your life and the whole everything you've said. Hope you're still happy. Have a great day :)
THANK YOU LEGEND! I’m glad you went onto CZcams instead 🫶🏼 enjoy the move !!
I'm also from the UK and want to obtain a Australian working holiday visa, did you find having to save for a long period of time to obtain the minimum 5000 australian dollars requirements?
I’m coming in September. Hoping to land on the 7th into Sydney. Head up the east coast from there then may fly down to Melbourne to look for work
Sounds like a great plan 🤩 thanks for watching !
@@DainLuka no worries, I’ve actually watched a lot of your Australian videos but I found out today I wasn’t subscribed so I rectified that mistake today!
@@matttv94 thanks man !🙌🏻
I went to Melborune this summer and that made me want to move to Australia. I really enjoyed your video. However, I am now 35 and I can't take working holiday visa. I want to know other choices that I can move to Australia because it is such a great country.
I did a WHV in New Zealand back in 2015-2016. I came home to Canada and saved a ridiculous amount of $$ with the intent of going to Australia for 1-2 years but ended up landing a job that I had been persuing for several years so I didn't go and instead bought a house and settled down.. COVID happened when I would have been there so I'm unsure of what my thought process would have been being overseas. I highly recommend a WHV to anyone whos even thinking about it. Just take the plunge you wont regret it. You meet so many interesting people from all over the world and will have memories that will last a lifetime.
Amazing !! I loved New Zealand when I visited and would love to do a working holiday there 😍 thanks for watching !
Coming at the end of this month seeya mate
See ya soon matey 🦘
Hi Dain, thank you for your videos, I’m now looking to extend my visa a second year, I have a WH 462 visa, any advice?
Love your channel 😊 I live here too
Thanks for watching 🤩
moving to the Oz later this year, can’t wait to see some of the future videos cus i’m hoping they’ll answer some more of my questions. i do have doubts, like anyone would, but my doubts come from the fact that i’ve never moved away from home and this is my first time for a lot of things. any advice regarding that?
Amazing ! That’s so exciting 😍 it’s totally normal to have doubts but they will go away when you get here !
Thanks for the informative video! Hoping to visit/move to Australia. Question for you: how do you feel about the idea that you essentially only get three years from the working holiday visas?
My plan is to try and get a skilled worker visa, after graduating from a US university. If I can't get a sponsor, I may try the working holiday while looking for a sponsor.
Thanks for watching ! Personally for me I think 3 years is plenty of time - there is lots of visa options if I wanted to pursue staying here long term ! The WHV is good as it gives you freedom to live here for a year or 3 and see if you like
It !
New sub! 👍 my new frrrrriiiiieeeend! 💃
Im binge watching through the day ❤
Thanks for watching friend 🕺 have fun binging !
@@DainLuka 👍😊
What was the company of Sydney that counted as specified work? Are there more in the city or you need to move far away?
I also want to know that please ☺️
Hi love your videos. As an Aussie who grew up here i didn't realize the quality of food wasnt great it would be good to know specifically what wasnt great about it.
Thank you!! 😊 I think the main thing for me is the fresh produce doesn’t have much flavour I think I only notice it as I have been to a lot of countries where the fruit and veg tastes so good!
@@DainLuka true, a lot of fruit and veg is refrigerated and they send all the good stuff overseas.
Thanks for watching ! 😃☀️
Hi Dain! Little questions I would like to ask: You do farm work to get the second visa to stay longer in Australia or…?
My job I had in Sydney was classed as “covid recovery work” this at the time was counted as specified work!
Great video.
Im at a crossroads...live in the UK but i know I've outgrown it now. Have spent time in canada living and loved the outdoors and adventures. Im 36 now so miss out on the WHV. Have a trade in demand in Oz. What would your advice be as im feeling like taking a holiday might not give me much of an insight because im very aware travelling and holidays are nothing like settling somewhere or relocating but also going for PR is a costly process. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for watching Gary! Can totally relate with outgrowing the UK. It happens and I honestly feel life is brighter in Aus! If you have in demand skills the best option would be a skilled visa. You can look at the occupational skills list online and see if you have any on there. It can be a lengthy process (it's what I'm pursuing this year) but so worth it!!
what do you mean the food quality is bad? i would have thought there fresh produce would have been great?!
I’m currently in Aus under a student visa. I’m considering to change it to working holiday visa now as I no longer think study is my thing. I’ve already had a degree. I originally wanted to move to NZ but it was no longer an option as they are restricting the number of immigration…
What is it like to be on working holiday visa and how likely you are able to go from holiday visa to residency?
I think everyones circumstances are very different. If you have the right skills or employer you may be able to get residency :)
I’m coming to Melbourne this October 😁
HELL YEAH 🙌🏻
Really useful videos, thank you! I am heading to Sydney but with the hopes to move to out to quieter areas outside the city. Is this easy enough to do, job wise, accommodation wise and does it work out any cheaper than central Sydney? Thank you!
Thanks for watching!! I think if you go to area where there are more backpackers its less likely to secure work and the further you go out of the CBD the more affordable it is :)
@@DainLuka The cheapest area of Sydney is South West or out West. You need to commute by train to cbd and you will be far away from the beach though. l live in the inner South of Sydney, which is relatively cheap for the distance to cbd.
Interesting comment about the food quality in Australia. You have travelled so much, I was wondering what you were comparing it to? The UK? I always thought Australian food quality was high and because it’s multicultural you get all those other beautiful cuisines.
Thanks for watching mate ! Mainly back home ! - I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. Firstly I feel they don’t have much taste in Aus and secondly you buy them and they go rotten after a day or two 😭
The cost is higher right now because we have had terrible floods, all along our biggest farming lands! Unusual!
@@DainLukaI go to Flemington markets and see the local growers and there fruit and vegetables are quite tasty . If you buy from Woolworths they buy in bulk and store them in the cool room . In the IUK most of your fruit and vegetables are imported and when I was over their , I didn’t notice their stuff being any fresher . Since you live in Wollongong go to farmer’s fresh . I visit the Bulli markets and buy fresh produce there from the small farmers . Always my fruit and vegetables are tasty and last longer than Woolworths produce . You can drive inland from Wollongong and find sone farms there . If you can do a trip to Bilpin which is not near Wollongong there is an organic apple farm . So don’t think that our produce isn’t fresh .It is the way the shop owners are storing the produce . Anyway our A grade produce us exported . We get the B grade produce , If you been to Europe , you will find small stores and little old ladies selling their fresh produce that just have been picked . So please do what I just told you and you will find amazing fruit and vegetables .
I’m planing to move Australia next year I have no family’s so I like to watch back packers for recommendations thank you for this video question where did you stay when you first moved to Australia give me so sort of ideas would help .
Thanks for watching 😊 I lived in a hostel for my first month then found a rental on flat mates !
I seriously have been wanting to move to Australia since I was a young boy and currently friends and family are not around anymore Nashville this is the best time to do it but it does not look like it's going to be an easy process since I am the retired military person and maybe hard to get any kind of visa but I'm working with a relocation specialist. I really like to live in and around Melbourne so bad I cannot sleep anymore.
I hope you make it Pal!!! thanks for watching
The Gong is so underrated, and Kiama is incredible
Also about 40 min drive away you can go to gorgeous Berry and have an incredible meat Pie and coffee.
I love Kiama especially the Sunday market I go every time
It’s on 🤩 thanks for watching !
It should be the best beaches in NSW
Now I live also in Australia I love it
Welcome to Australia hope everything is going very well for you & people are treating you with respect.
Please a day activities video of yours
Hello , thank you for all the information, I am from Puerto Rico which is a a U.S. territory and I’m planing on going working holiday to AUS and I already started the process for the visa , do you think I can find a job online without being in AUS ?
Hey thanks for watching 😊 my personal opinion is travel a bit first see where you wanna live. Australia is HUGE (just a bit smaller than the US) so lots of options then look for work! But you can totally start looking before hand
Thinking of doing so and trying to go Melbourne area but dont know what jobs would be able to do for the working visa once it is approved
I live about 2 hours from the gong . I should get out there has I have never been . Do you work for yourself here in aus. I plan to do a canada working holiday and curious if I can work for myself. Subscribed to the channel!
Thanks for watching ! The gong is great I love it here 😃 I do work for myself yes !
@DainLuka ahh that's awesome , good luck. Enjoying the videos 🙂 thanks for replying
I moved to Australia two months ago, I love it :D
Thanks for watching ! Ahhh so glad you love it 👌
I need ur help! So u were able to get ur 88 days working in sydney just for working for a non profit? Can u please tell me more about it ! i would like to do the same without moving to remote areas
It counted towards my 88 days as it was covid related : we did covid vaccines, assisted people that lost jobs due to covid etc. 😊 immigration did tell me on the phone they couldn’t guarantee it would count as my 88 days, they told me to apply and then see if it’s approved - so not guaranteed !
You picked a good spot in Wollongong. I grew up there. If you want to check out Canberra at any point, just let me know.
I love it 🥰 I need to check out Canberra at some point !
@@DainLuka while you're there, you'll have to check out the waterfall at Maquarie Pass. I'm sure you've heard of the lookout and hang gliding spot at Stanwell Tops. There's a lot of beautiful places to check out in the area
I’ve heard about that waterfall ! I was at Stanwell yesterday one of my favourite spots ! Thanks for these reccs 😊
I'm moving ~ what's the best spot!
@@TamaEnergy All depends on what you're looking for? City or country? Heat / tropical / mild / or true 4 seasons? You want beaches or country?
I am a Cypriot guy who came to UK to study in a uni. And man, this country really depresses me. I thought people were being 'soft' when they talked about how depressing the weather could make a person but oh boy were they right. I am used to feeling the warmth of sun nearly ever day of the year so I am going to leave UK after I graduate this year. Australia has always seen to me as the giant version of Cyprus as both countries valued a laid back lifestyle. I am drawn to there for some reason. Knowing that u travelled around plenty, would u prefer moving to a mediterrenean country in europe or would u still choose australia? I am also considering moving to Spain as I am EU citizen and the transition to there would be easier I suppose.
Its a struggle 😅 I do miss the UK but the weather puts me off so much. Its crazy how the sun can just make life BETTER. Hmmmm very different options. I love Australia because its such a diverse country: reefs, deserts, rainforests - it has so many different climates but I do miss the vibes of old european cities!
I am thinking of getting a WHV and going to Australia some time next year. I am really nervous about going over there on my own though. Where do you get the confidence to travel solo?
Thats so exciting!!! Firstly its totally normal to feel nervous. I still get nervous and was very anxious to move here. Try taking a few small trips and stay in hostels that will get you used to solo travelling and its a great way to meet people. Most people come to australia on their own, stay in hostels etc so everyones in the same boat and it can be very easy to make friends!
@@DainLukathank you so much for the advice and reassurance. I'm really looking forward to exploring this year. Happy New Year!! :)
Hi Dain. Nice video mate. May I ask which Non-Profit you worked for when you arrived? I'm graduating soon and I'm hoping to join a Non-Profit Org to gain some work experience. Cheers mate
Thanks for watching ! I can’t give out the name of the one I worked at but there are plenty in Sydney. Charities are really big in Australia 🙌🏻
Genuine question but how much should I save? I know the recommended amount is 5000 AUD and I’m leaving for Perth Australia in January 2024. We currently have a hostel pre booked for the 4 of us (4 friends going out) but I’m just curious if anyone has any recommendations I’ve just paid for my visa and flight and I am in a saving mode for these last 4 months. Anybody any thoughts or suggestions? As the reviews I’ve seen are mixed between those saying save a lot of money and others barely going out with the recommended amount and making it
Also we are going out for the work/ travel life balance so plan to go out to work hard to make money for travel but now only having this life changing move only 4 months away I’m kinda getting a bit scared 😂
Hey James, Thanks for watching! this is a very difficult question to answer... however I would suggest if you are coming here and plan on working/living straight away $5000 is fine. if you are traveling Aus budget at least $1000 per week for transport/accomodation/food/activities ! my advice just save as much as you can - everything will work itself out once your here ✌️
Food ? The food is expensive in shops and cafes when you eat out ! As an Australian buy fresh and cook at home .We go to our local co op and buy fresh , fresh seafood from the fishermen , there are places to buy good , fresh veggies learn to cook .
Yess I find food more expensive here 🙌🏻 thanks for watching 😊
Slaaay omg THANK YOUUU
I have a dought can we take pr after work holiday visa for two yrs
Looks like a great place
Thanks for watching !
Ive been home to the uk a few times over the last 5 years and every time i go back i get more and more certain that i made the right choice to leave.
THats soo good! Im starting to feel the same. Australia feels more like home to me than the UK ever did 🌞
How are the jobs there? Do most people have to travel far?
I heard from a friend who work in austria country as a butcher, the job is good and they pay nice salary and good education for children and a good medical for who work in austria so nice,for my children so they cauld live happy, that would realy make parent happy for children.
What do you do to make enough money to support you on so many trips?
Check out my “how to become a digital nomad video “ lots of tips there :)
I am planning next year to apply whv
How did you afford it? 😅First time looking at your channel. Would be happy for a vid referral or a long lasting listener explaining 👌🏼. Lots of travel, back and forth with £3000 flights, but you worked for a non-profit and have a house 😅. Lots of savings? Inheritance? Or did you manage to work and get by? Very interested
Thanks for watching 👋 I worked my ass off for years (worked 2 jobs at times) saved up as much as I could and I spend all my money on travel! ✈️ also don’t own a house yet I just rent 😊 I can see how it seems like a lot ! This is also nearly 3 years of travel 😅
I’m doing it
Hell yeah!!
it took 4 months for your working holiday to get accepted? how? on the site it shows 14 days. i about about apply working holiday visa soon
I applied in Dec 2021 when there was a backlog :) apply as soon. as possible!
LOVE LIFE LOVE LIFE
🤩
how do you travel so much .?
What about poisonous snakes and spiders, is it a problem? Do you unexpectedly find them in your bedroom or the toilet for example?
I’ve spent 2 years of my life in australia and only seen 1 snake - this spider and snakes thing is a myth 😂
@@DainLuka But I think you live in the city, or at most in a suburb. Right?
@@kkolxasram I’ve slept in the outback before and still no snakes 😂 you have nothing to worry about !
@@DainLuka lol good to know. Thank you.
how did you do to save so much money in Sydney working for a non profit org?

Is there an age restriction on the working Holiday Visa
18-30 (35 in some countries) 👀🙌🏻
A couple of corrections.Only a white person would say Australia is a long distance from anywhere.Look at a map, you will see Australia is at the base of South East Asia.If you live in the north, you can fly to Bali quicker than you can fly to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart or Sydney.Infact, you could sail there.
Secondly, bussiness trading hours vary from state to state and from day to day, so I would ignore that informatation.What he said does not apply nationally.
Thirdly, the quality of the food is extremely high.
Hey Peter thanks so much for watching the video I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 as you can imagine it is difficult to provide every single detail in a short video so mostly I generalise. These videos are also providing my perspective. If I think the food quality isn’t great that’s what I’m gonna say! 🙌🏻
Worked for a long time in non profits including the USAiD, am planning to mov to Australia , would I ge able to get hired by any non profit , can you recommend any , thanx
Message me on insta 😊
4:13 (臺北) I recommend you to travel to Taiwan
I would love too!
The food isn't good? Where are you eating? What are you eating?
Its more the food quality isn't great! I find that fresh produce I buy doesn't have a lot of taste and goes bad within a day or two. No digs but I think the fruits and veggies tastes a lot better over in Europe!
@@DainLuka Are you buying unseasonal fruit and veg? That is not my experience but I buy what's good for the time. There is a problem with lettuce which appears to be affected by a virus/wet weather and has not been good for a few years.
I have had good experience of fruit and veg in continental Europe but am aware that I am invariably there in summer/autumn. From my contacts in England my understanding is England no longer has it's pre-Brexit access to good European fruit and veg.
@@peterbreis5407 I buy a mix of produce 🙌🏻 my whole diet is mostly veggies and fruit, It’s probably nothing major - I will admit I’m a bit of a food snob 😂
@@DainLuka I don't hold that against you. My memory of English food with some notable exceptions is not great, but I have not been to Britain for a long time, much preferring Europe. I have some curiosity if British food has improved since I was there, but would not go out of my way to satisfy my curiosity.
@@peterbreis5407 nooo I don’t blame you ! As a whole British food is meh but it’s what I’m used too! I travel a lot so I have tasted some incredible food and some not so great. Personally Mexican is my favourite 🙌🏻
Hi guys! is that true that the work and holiday visa costs 42 thousand dollars (AUD635.00)?
It just went up 😃😃
Been searching everywhere and can’t find the answer, I’m looking to do a Working Holiday visa to Australia in 2024 and i intend to extend it to 3 years, all going well I would love to become a Permanent Resident after them 3 years..Does anyone if/how this would be possible?
Totally possible depending on your circumstances :) I'd say the most common one is skilled visa. If you look at what occupations are on their skills shortage lists and you can apply through that route. If not speak to an immigration specialist!
Do you have a plan to get a PR there?
YES hopefully starting the process of a skilled visa application 😊
Where did you work in Sydney to get your 88 days?
Thanks for watching! It was a not for profit - homeless clinic 😊
Am I imagining the beginning of a hybrid accent?
I think 3 years out of the Uk has changed my accent 😅😂
Did you buy travel insurance? Or what is the best solution for this matter?
Yess 100% you need travel insurance - I have linked in the description the travel insurance I use 😊
@@DainLuka thx for quick response. I dont like to hear it, another thing that needs to be some money spend on. Im already stacking up cash for visa. :D
It’s really affordable it’s $45 a month - do not travel without insurance it’s not worth the risk 😅
@@DainLuka Oh nice. I like it when you can take care of it online. I thought i would need to handle at local insurance company.I suppose this solution is quicker and cheaper.
How to apply ?
Is it hard to find work over in Australia
It can be but you just have to know where to look !
Yes I wanna come to Australia but a flight from Canada is like $2,500
If you can and don’t have one already, you should open a credit card that earns you air miles. I’ve gotten expensive flights paid for with sign on bonuses and miles racked up since I put all my purchases on my credit card (and pay off every month so I don’t accrue interest)
Bad credit
I want to move to Australia on a working holiday but I strongly doubt I can afford the cost of living 😭
The pay is a lot higher here so you deffo can!
