Thanks for the positivity, it means so much to us young travellers .. I for one will be risking and giving up a lot when I come for my WHV. But it has always been my dream to visit this beautiful place. It is a daunting thing to leave everything you have ever known 10,000 miles behind you, and so it is always great to have support. Also, if anybody is travelling near me this October, let me know, would be nice to go for a drink with like minded people.

21 Yr old From England, Will be flying into Melbourne on 01/10/2016 until around 8th and then will be in Sydney 08/10/2016 until 20/10/2016 :-)

I'm unable to travel for the year until 2017 after I've finished the first part of my degree. I just didn't wait too long, and want to see if I'll enjoy it. I'd be giving up alot, including my job of course, and wouldn't want to find out I don't enjoy it on my own. That's what I am a little afraid of.

Hey all I have been snooping around the forums a little in the past couple of weeks and would like to ask some questions. I'm looking to come to oz next summer for around 3-4 weeks to travel and see what it's like - in 2017 I am making plans to come for the full year on a WHV. I was thinking of buying an oz experience ticket (maybe from Sydney to Melbourne) and just travelling at my own pace whilst stopping at hostels along the way. I will most likely be doing this on my own unless I can find a friend. Is this a practical idea? And how much money do you think I'll need out here to survive the 3-4 week - as I have no idea with regard to the cost of things such as food and travel. I've only looked at how much hostels would cost me for the month. I hope this will kind of "break the ice" so when I return in 2017, as I am so determined to do so, it won't be daunting because I'll definitely be alone for that one. Thanks for any advice I can get !!
