I had an unforgettable experience with global work & travel on this trip, and my Trip Coordinator Shona was truly exceptional. They took care of every detail, from logistics to local insights, making sure each day was seamless and exciting. Their knowledge of the area was impressive, and they shared hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. What really stood out was how they handled unexpected situations with ease, always staying one step ahead and making sure we felt comfortable and supported. They communicated clearly, so we always knew what to expect, and their enthusiasm made the whole experience feel that much more special. Thanks to Shona, I could fully relax and enjoy the adventure without any stress. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make the most out of their travels with expert guidance! Will definitely be back in the future.

My trip has been absolutely excellent so far. I arrived on the 19th of February in Sydney and am living in Glenmore Park. A few days after exploring the place and seeing what is around me I went to a concert that was amazing. After that I went to a place called Forster and got to see the beach and the ocean surrounding it. I got to go on a boat and do some fishing while seeing all the wildlife around including pelicans, dolphins and a lot of different kind of fish and sea life. After all the exploring I went back to Penrith and met some of my partners family and friends who were all so nice to me. They explained the culture a little bit more, and a lot of them are rugby (footy?) fans and introduced me to the game which I found really fascinating because I love sports and learning the game. Now that I've settled in and seen what's around I am looking for jobs around the area. My next goal here is to figure out the bus and train systems so that I can get myself around. Another goal I have is to make some friends in my free time and get some insight on the hidden gems of the area. I'd really like to go for some hikes to see more of all the natural beauty of the area. I'm so happy about how warm it is here and not having any snow around me makes me so happy. I do miss my family back home and with the time difference its hard to catch them when they are available but its been nice to have a different family atmosphere to be around that is so warm and welcoming. I do feel a little out of my comfort zone being in a place that is so different from where I come from, but each day that I am here it gets better and better. I'd like to thank Shona for being there if I have any questions or concerns and keeping in contact with insights and tips. It's very much appreciated with everything this journey has come with. I feel like I'm in safe and good hands and would recommend her to anyone who wants a fantastic experience with Global!

This trip has truly been the experience of a lifetime, and it has been made so much easier by Asti and other people at global work and travel who have assisted me. Asti has helped me book day trips, hostels, and provided me with a great job match before I even arrived in Australia!

I've been delighted with my experience, working with Global has made my experience amazing and given me peace of mind that all will go smoothly and if not, I've got assistance if needed! Asti, my arrival coordinator, has been most helpful and checked in multiple times even since my arrival to make sure that all is going well. My only feedback would be that I think that orientation should be in person, with other Global travellers in the area - it was difficult to network with others travelling with the same company over messaging only, and the 2 people I managed to find agreed that they thought orientation was in person 😅. Overall, an incredible experience so far, and thank you for your help finding me a suitable role and supporting me at every stage.

From the moment I said I wanted to go with Global Work and Travel I've just had te most amazing experience! The people who have helped me are amazing and super nice and also helped me with anything I could possibly need and want. It's been a great first week!

Could not recommend enough! Since day 1, Charlie, David and Hannah have all been so kind and informative. They have all helped me to book and arrange everything, this is my first time travelling so I had alot of silly questions that they answered as best they could and I could not be more thankful. Hannah has checked in every step of the way and been so reassuring and helpful since arriving. I would not be out in Australia loving life if it wasn't for them all

Planning a life changing event like working and living abroad doesn't come without a mountain of tasks, unseen hurdles and life admin I really wasn't ready for... Luckily the stress was pretty much evaporated by the team at Global who made the process a breeze, guiding through the stages of booking, planning and all the admin you wouldn't think about until I landed... Flights. Visa. Phone Sim. First Hostel, and probably most reassuring of all - a job when you've stepped off the plane. They handle it absolutely perfectly, pre trip nerves ? Squashed with constant check ins for concerns and changes of your plans ! Nothing is too much trouble for the team at Global, who guide you through the whole journey from concept to landing on the tarmac Down under - with continued support after you've settled to really keep you reassured. I would highly recommend Global based on my experience with them, be it for a working holiday, excursion tour or any of their services! What makes it so much more tangible is the team there have had their own travelling experiences and handle your booking on a human level, really hyping you up in the build up and putting any worries at ease. My trip In particular was handled flawlessly by Myles, David and Asti. Who I highly commend from taking me out of a nowhere job bored in the UK to living the dream down under in Melbourne !

Asti and the rest of the Global team have been nothing but amazing when helping me get prepared and settled into my accommodations and work place in Australia. They set everything up for me prior to my arrival which made me feel at ease when arriving. I would highly recommend using any of their services when booking any sort of trip with the company and also highly recommend having Asti as a travel coordinator as she has been nothing but sweet, understanding, and respectful while assisting me throughout this process!

This trip has truly been the experience of a lifetime, and it has been made so much easier by Asti and other people at global work and travel who have assisted me. Asti has helped me book day trips, hostels, and provided me with a great job match before I even arrived in Australia!

First and foremost my trip has barely started im only 3 weeks in but I have really enjoyed the nightlife in Melbourne and just how sublime the city appears at night with breath taking views. My travel coordinator made it simple for me to be able to land in Australia and not have to worry about taxi, or Ubers to get to my accommodation and also helping me with multiple job opportunities, before I arrived in Australia communication was very immediate to ensure my trip was as smooth as possible.

I am interested in other countries to work as a chef That's my dream To show the tastes of Indians dishes to the other countries I'm eagerly waiting for the chance to come true Hope I'll get an opportunity

If you want to grow professionally, but also personally, this is the place to go! You'll experience magic in the woods with children -- creating experiences that I've never seen anywhere else. You will work very hard, but learn a ton too. If you love kids, I really recommend Augusta!

When I first went to Camp Augusta as a counselor at 22 years old, I had already worked at three other summer camps and traveled abroad to two other countries. I was anticipating it to be a familiar run-of-the-mill summer camp, having a good time, and then moving on with my life. Within a month of being there, I knew that this place was different. The games, the people, the activities, the opportunities for growth, the connection with nature, the mission, and the philosophies. It seemed like every day was full of challenges, but also full of so much meaning and reward. I knew that although it was the hardest job I had ever had, I had grown so much in my first summer and needed to come back. Since then, I have returned to many summers and many roles in Augusta. No two summers are the same. Each has its own challenges and growth that have been foundational for my growth at and with Augusta. Despite the hard work and long hours, I look back with gratitude at the impact that Augusta has had on my life personally and my relationships - in Augusta and outside. It's a life changing place for all who tread on those woodchips. :)

It was a great opportunity to discover job and internship opportunities outside my country. The platform is easy to use and combines diverse offers suitable for foreigners looking for a professional future in Europe. I liked the way the information is organized and the clarity of the details of each program, which helped me make a better decision. I recommend anyone looking for real opportunities for personal and professional development to try this site because it opens new doors to experience and learning. --- This way you have met the 200 character requirement + given them a positive and organized evaluation. Would you like to provide a second, more formal and professional version (suitable if you want to make a serious impression with companies)

I’m so grateful for this opportunity. It was nerve-racking at first, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I met so many amazing people and my host family was amazing! I saw so many beautiful views and monuments during my time in Spain, as well as other countries I traveled to while out there. I highly recommend this to everybody who is willing to take the leap.

Thank you Kaitlyn for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We're here anytime you need us and thank you again. It was an honour having you as a part of The Cultural Exchange Project in Spain.

My teaching internship was one of the best experiences I could've asked for. My first month in December was getting my TEFL certification/course and meeting other volunteers. I loved this part as it was a great way to meet people instantly and get accustomed to your new environment. Afterward, my NGO helped me get my accommodation, and I began teaching English. I loved the school I was placed in. The teachers and students were so welcoming and kind. Once March was over, it was time for the students to go on school break, which allowed me plenty of time to travel and explore Thailand. The culture is so rich, full of love, and undeniably incredible. I would do this project time and time again. RealStep helped me SO much in the beginning and helped me get accustomed to my NGO in Thailand. Both companies were amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better support team.

I think these were the most exciting and interesting six months I’ve had so far! This program offers a lot, language courses, cultural activities and a lot of support. The whole application process was very easy and smooth. The only thing one has to consider is that it’s always a bit unpredictable if it’s going to workout with your first host family. I’ve had the experience of changing families and I have to say that LoPair offered me a lot of help and support during that time. I didn’t feel alone and always had my local coordinator Mickey by my side. In the end I had such a lovely host family, I couldn’t have wished for a better match. They introduced me to the Chinese culture and showed me a lot of new places. I got to see many different places in China, with my host family and on my own! I think if you decide to join such a program you need to be able to communicate a lot and openly. It’s always about keeping an open mind and communication. Especially since one is entering a totally new environment and culture. Some cultural differences are normal! This program also offers a few cultural activities. For Christmas the agency invited the Au Pairs and their host families to a bakery to bake cakes. Overall I just wish we would have had a few more cultural activities. The language courses that are offered vary from the time of ones application. A few of my fellow Au Pairs went to a language school, while me and another Au Pair could attend a language course at an University. My first semester I had uni mostly in the morning for three hours every day. The course was intense but very fun! I got to meet so many new people from all countries. It’s such a good opportunity to meet and connect with people. So if one has the chance to take the course at Uni, I definitely suggest to take it! It will be a bit more time consuming but it’s worth it! Overall I would say this program is perfect for people who are looking for a new environment and experience. I can recommend going with LoPair to China!

I could not be more grateful for my experience abroad. I have learned so much about myself and the world through this journey. My favorite part has been getting to know my host family and their culture. I feel so lucky to have met them and to know that I have developed a meaningful friendship that will last me a lifetime. I highly recommend a travel abroad experience to anyone who is considering it– mine has truly changed my life!

Thanks, Livia. We can tell you the family raved about you and would love to have you back over and over. :-) Thank you for doing such an amazing job for the family and the children. We're lucky to have worked with you on the Spain program.

I spent my summer in Beijing through the LoPair summer programme and it was the best summer of my life. I highly recommend LoPair and the summer programme particularly for any students like me who had some time between terms at university. I absolutely fell in love with China on my time here as I got to see so much of Beijing on my days off and while out with my host family. I also got to see Hangzhou (for orientation before heading to Beijing) and Shanghai at the end of my trip thanks to my host family! I would say that you should expect to be challenged by this experience but with the right mindset you’ll leave a new and improved person. Integrating into Chinese life, trying new food, learning to use chopsticks, appreciating a different culture and making lots of memories and friends were just some of the many things I gained from this experience. It was a lot of fun but I also left so much more confident and capable as an individual. I became very close with my host family and sibling and became part of their family life, enjoying meals together and spending time with them in their daily lives. I felt so comfortable during my stay at their home. I also really enjoyed the mandarin classes provided by LoPair! In just 2 months I felt like I had a pretty good understanding of Chinese and the group classes were always really fun and a great way to meet other au pairs. I would never have been able to do anything as unique as this had it not been for the LoPair summer programme and I am SO grateful that a classmate recommended it to me. The process was all really smooth, from the admin before you leave to getting oriented in China and the support you feel along the way.
