tingtongman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do you have a job, if not you are going to need one. What do you own that you dont want/need or use, you can start by selling them too. Do you have any creative skills, you can do free lance work in writing/designing on the internet too to earn extra income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattysalter01 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah I will need a job I am wanting to work out there so I am able to apply for the second year if I enjoy it. What sort of money will I need to take with me to have a good start to my travels? I aint picky about the work as long as I can have the best time of my life. Any groups ect that I can get involved with to meet new people asap would be brill as well. I don't even know where to begin. Thanks for the reply, Matt.

Kellie Wain Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hey How's it going?? I am looking to go in 2015 and hoping to find people heading out around the same time to make the whole thing less scary haha. I've not made any plans yet so will be looking for advice and guidance myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey90 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey I'm hoping to head out early Jan time as well I don't know if I should go with an agency like bunac or STA travel....what's peoples thoughts on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattysalter01 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Same stacey i have no idea where to even start but id love to be able to go at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie Wain Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey both... I wasn't looking at doing a starter pack with a company as most of the stuff they provide you can arrange yourself for cheaper or free. Its just means a little more research. Are either of you looking into Thailand at all? I'm really keen on spending a few weeks there first. I haven't booked anything but started my research, so if either of you are up for heading over around the same time and want a travel buddy let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellie Wain Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Im looking to head over in jan/feb time next year so I have time to get everything sorted before I go. They say a minimum of 3500 for a whv visa. Obviously the less you take the quicker you will have to find work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattysalter01 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 If i was to be ready to go that soon i think that i would have to cancel my car insurance now save damn hard. And then i still aint sure weather id have enough that soon. Getting my car was such a big mistake i dont think ill be ready til next summer or time ish.

jessicagrunner Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm also looking at going out to Aus in 2015! I don't think I'll be heading out until Summer time 2015 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotOz2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 im going out to aus in 2015 too, late february/early march. im not going with a company. im just going myself because i will save a lot more money because some of the companies offer packages at prices like £400 and that money can be better spent on your travels. im flying to melbourne and then its plain sailing for me. On my own, 22 years old. Quite scary if i must say so!! but iv waited a long time for this! iv always wanted to do this because i KNOW it will change me and my outlook on life and what better way to do it than in the blazing sunshine in aus!!

Britpop Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 £1500 for flights, visa, insurance etc £250 for a back pack, toiletries, sun cream etc Say you land in Sydney - you'll need £1000ish a month to live a reasonable time, a travel card, some activities etc. If you go out on the beers - which is expensive - you can easily do £60 in a night and if you buy a bottle of water from a corner shop you can pay £3 - go to the supermarket and it's 50p. It depends how cheap you want to do it. You can walk everywhere, stay in a huge dorm, cook all your own meals and eat very basic, use the library for internet, no mobile etc and live for probably for £25/day. If you want to go to all the attractions you're looking at at least £25 a go, beer can be £4 for just over a half, a decent room £20 a night and so on. It's very expensive until you get used to finding the cheaper options. having said that you can buy a car for £1000 and a sleeping bag and camp stove and ftravel and free camp. It's all down to how you want to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
