Ryan92 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm seriously considering it! I've some friends who live over there and during my time over last year I absolutely loved it! I'd love to spend alot more time there ; to work and who knows, with a view to hopefully living over there forever. The last part might be a bit of an ambitious plan but I just love the country.... it's getting the guts to just go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan92 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's nothing that would help unfortunately ; just a retail assistant. I've an honours degree in broadcasting but that won't help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you planning on going? Well I am going back over in May for 6 weeks to visit the friends I have over there so the plan would be to get back and then start saving like mad to get to where I need to be financially! It's a terrifying prospect don't get me wrong but an exciting one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you booked up for May? If you were to hold off then you could probably manage to do a whv this year. I almost booked a holiday but just decided I'd be better just doing the whv. Holiday costs too much for only a few weeks. Small world then!! I lived in Carluke for a while. Prefer lanark though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 If your looking for somewhere to work and save then your maybe better doing some sort of regional work which you'll need if you want a second year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
