Let Me Travel Forever
Ok so today is six weeks till I fly out to Hong Kong!It's coming around sooo quick, and there's still so much I have to do!But first, I thought I'd write a quick few bullet points to answer all the who/what/why/where/how questions my friends and family have been asked me.
- Im going with a company called BUNAC, who are a travel company that organise group flights to Australia and New Zealand, and act as the middle man in terms of helping me find a job, obtaining my visa and setting up life in Oz (bank account,tax number,phone sim,etc).
- I have paid BUNAC a fee and will have access to their five offices around Oz, and use their job databases to search for jobs. They also have a 24 hour helpline and in the first week of me being in Oz, they run workshops for CV writing, barista skills and accommodation help.
- I have a working-holiday visa, allowing me to live and work in Oz for 12 months (with the potential to extend a further 12 months!)
- I have paid for around the world flights, from London to Hong Kong to Sydney to Auckland to Hawaii to Los Angeles and then back to London!They're valid for 24 months but are non refundable.
- I am flying out to Hong Kong on a group flight organised by BUNAC with 26 other people doing the same thing I am!We will meet in Heathrow in the morning at check-in and will stay together on the flight and in the same hotel in Hong Kong - hopefully they'll be like minded people who I can make friends with!
- I have two weeks accommodation booked in Sydney and after that...who knows!I would like to find somewhere to live and a job before christmas, and the plan is to work for a couple months, then have a month off to travel, then work another couple months, have a month off, etc etc.
And that's it!Those are my plans so far and as for the rest of it...well, life's an adventure!
