Guest51810 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Can I just say that I am exceptionally jealous! Enjoy yourselves, it will be incredible, maybe you'll all still be out there when I eventually make it over. x Don't be jealous, you'll be out there soon with a decent job instead of slaving lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annagilda Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Don't be jealous, you'll be out there soon with a decent job instead of slaving lol x Try telling me that on a cold November night, full of assignment and Pharmacology HELL! No, you're right Stace, it's so close I can taste it. I have to keep getting inspiration to study through threads like this and Youtube videos of people on their WHV. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hey all! I've finally made my mind up to go out on a WHV (before I get too old for one!), but won't be for a while yet....probably December next year. Be good to all keep in touch with how our plans are coming along. Must admit though....am a little concerned I'll be almost 30 when I go out....

MattD Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Haha, I hope not! Just don't want to be the oldest person on a WHV! Lol, yep....cant believe it was nearly 5 years ago now though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't look your age so don't worry. I doubt people will even ask lol. Are you worried about finding work? I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Haha, thanks! If anyone asks I'll just say I'm 21........ I guess it could be a concern, but to be honest I'll just go with the flow and hope to find something....I'm sure we will be fine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayedmo87 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hey all! I'm new to this so sorry for jumping on the thread! I can't believe I've finally decided I'm going to do this. After years of being talked out of it and falling into routine life, I've decided before I hit 30 I'm definitely doing it! I've not booked anything or applied for my visa yet but will be doing it all in the New Year. I was going to go through Gap 360 but after researching it, it looks pretty simple to do myself and a whole lot cheaper and every penny counts towards savings [emoji383] I'm hoping to head out to Sydney the end of the summer next year, by which time I will have (hopefully) saved enough money to comfortably "keep me going" until I find a job! I've searched the net and haven't really found many sites to meet people in a similar boat as me, so it would be nice to speak to a few people on here before I head out. I know it is a little in advance but a little forward planning never hurt anyone [emoji13] This may sound like a strange thing to say after deciding to do a 12 month WHV alone, but I am a tad worried about being the little fish in a big pond. I guess it would just be nice to know you have someone in your position so you can be 2+ little fish in a big pond. Granted there are a lot of people in the same position but it would be cool to get to know them a little and maybe meet up before or whilst out there? Anyway I've rambled on enough and hopefully haven't bored you all to sleep, look forward to any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of us doing it and in the same position so I'm sure you'll get chatting to people. If your looking for some tips then there's quite a lot of threads on here. I'd definitely be happy to meet up with you once I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick of the same mundane lifestyle here, might aswell give it a go down under, the world is a big place and would be a shame to spend all your time in one place. Keep us all updated on your plans, im sure we will all swap tips and advice before we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayedmo87 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks Scottishstacey [emoji4] Haha well I certainly don't feel my age Adrian! It was either go back and finish my degree or take a year out to travel. I can finish my degree anytime but the clock is ticking for me to travel, especially on a WHV [emoji16] I can't wait [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrianr84 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Your going there this new year? That will be awesome! I have no plans, will see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Haha I wish. Nah I meant next year. I'll probably spend this new year in the house loaded with the flu like most years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianr84 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well next new year, hopefully still be in Oz, Sydney sounds great! My brother lives in Japan so may visit him, or do what I have done for the past 2 years...sleep through it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I always sleep through it too! I think I've went out 2 or 3 times. I can never be bothered with it or I'm usually not feeling well. Japan sounds really good! Something very different lol. I wasn't going to go to Sydney for new year because it's so expensive and crowded but everybody keeps telling me I have to do it. Suppose it makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
