"Before I first worked abroad I didn't realise how much it was going to change, well, everything. Over the last two years I have worked in various countries, from the USA to Thailand to France, and soon I'm heading off to Australia on a WHV.

"Between the new friends, the new skills and the new travel experiences, working abroad is just an awesome way to get out and see the world, and it's something that everyone should try at least once in their lives. It alters the way you view work and travel, and ultimately it changes your perspective on life and who you are as a person."
