I would say Australia is THE country of working holidays. It's especially popular amongst school graduates. Exploring a foreign country, working abroad and traveling (alone) is an adventure that more and more people are seeking.
I've lived in Sydney for six months during my study abroad semester and came back three years later on a working holiday visa to work as an au pair. I lived in Melbourne for seven months and decided to not do the farmwork in the end.
Now I share my honest experience of my ten months work and travel in Australia and give you essential tips so you can too have the adventure of your lifetime.
