    You popped up on my YT because I have been doing so much research on the work and holiday visa! I officially decided to go last week! I plan on leaving in February! Any advice is much appreciated! 😄 have fun!

      @@DainLuka I’m currently trying to figure out where you are allowed to do hospitality work to extend your visa haha just in case I don’t end up wanting to do farm work for the entire six months lol. If you know anything about stuff like that I’d love to chat! :)

      So my understanding is you have to do 88 days to get a second year. I have friends that are doing Hospo in Airlee beach and cairns ! Or going to remote/northern Australia - it’s very difficult to understand the visa rules 😂

      @@DainLuka yeah 3 months of full time work so 88 full days is what I understood haha I just wasn’t sure what areas exactly hospitality was allowed 😅 I’ve heard cairns I just wanted to be sure lol.

    I done my WHV a few years back when i just hit 31. Absolutely loved it out there. I had to live in Manly to lapup that beach life style. For me its one of the best places in Sydney. Bit too far and expensive for some people but being able to play volley ball, gym, surf plus tons of class coffee shops and food places and bars it was the place to be.

      @@rebeccahagemann230 don't know if this was for me or Chasing, anyways, I am doing great in Sydney, I worked from the 2nd day and I found a room for a great price on the 7th day. Right now ppl say there's a housing crisis, prices have gone up, so it's gonna be harder and maybe a little more expensive than expected, but not impossible. Just be prepared to do a lot of inspections maybe...I arrived in summer so it was a little harder, it should be easier in April. If you work hard nothing is impossible here...actually I'd say is far easier than Europe...Good luck!
