    This sounds like such a good idea. On my own my parents would probably never let me go anywhere, let alone abroad but if it's a working holiday and I'm making money while i'm also travelling slowly, it would probably be more acceptable to them. I think I'm about to look into this once I finish my college. I bet it's a good start to one's career and adulthood in general 😄

    Another option if you have a Trade and want to be self employed you can also apply for an Australian Business Number (ABN) although you don't need one if you are working for an employer. You will need to get your head around paying tax and collecting GST (> 75K/year) but I know people that have done it and do well for themselves.

    with transferwise you can set up a virtual australian bank account so you wont require an australian bank account. You provide the employer your bank numbers and they can send you the money as and when. Currently it cant be used for direct debits which is the only downside if you want to set up a phone contract, otherwise it's hasslefree

    I'm from Belgium, so do I still need to sign up for the World Nomads insurance or is the MediCare one enough? Thanks!

    Hi guys, I’m looking to travel to Australia in September/October time. I’m wanting to get there and get a job straight away on my 417 visa. Would you recommend just moving city to city new job to job to travel? Or just get one job and travel on weekends etc

    What super account type (?) would you recommend then? You've mentioned that there are specific ones for backpacking. I'm heading there for my work&holiday visa in a few days! Feeling the butterflies
