Just turned up and found a cheap hotel then went round all the bars and got a job lol My personality is always full of contradictions.. Sometimes I worry too much and other times Id love to just jump on a plane somewhere random lol. I'm not worried about going alone because I travelled to london and the Channel Islands myself. It's just finding work that's the main worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 At the moment I think I'm going to sydney but I haven't booked anything. I've been thinking of stopping over in Thailand but it depends on money - I was going to go a max of one week but probably 3 or 4 days in Bangkok. Not sure how much that would cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is really cheap, you could get accommodation and eat for 4 days for about £50 in Bangkok lol. Im budgeting around 800-1000 to last me a month there and that includes doing quite a bit of travelling around. When was it you're going again?

Paula Gerrard Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Not been on for awhile work has been crazy. I got wait to go getting so excited now.

hanaknight12 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 They're changing the requirements regarding regional/specified work which qualifies for you second year application. It's being phased in so no concrete date. Basically they intend to change the rule of WWOOFING/volunteering roles - it will no longer count. Like I said they they don't know when this will be!

richard88uk Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ah okay got ya. Im planning to do regional paid farm work/fruit picking so that rule wouldn't affect me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ah okay got ya. Im planning to do regional paid farm work/fruit picking so that rule wouldn't affect me anyway The point is that these new changes will make it even harder to get paid work, there will be so much competition and it's already apparently difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
