    I done my WHV a few years back when i just hit 31. Absolutely loved it out there. I had to live in Manly to lapup that beach life style. For me its one of the best places in Sydney. Bit too far and expensive for some people but being able to play volley ball, gym, surf plus tons of class coffee shops and food places and bars it was the place to be.

    Hey man, gonna do a WHV and interested to know whether you think it’s best to enroll on one of those travel package schemes where they give you a kickstart route / activities pre paid for or do you reckon it’s pretty relaxing in the fact that I can set it all up myself when I’m there with jobs, making friends and Aus bank account etc?

      @@rebeccahagemann230 don't know if this was for me or Chasing, anyways, I am doing great in Sydney, I worked from the 2nd day and I found a room for a great price on the 7th day. Right now ppl say there's a housing crisis, prices have gone up, so it's gonna be harder and maybe a little more expensive than expected, but not impossible. Just be prepared to do a lot of inspections maybe...I arrived in summer so it was a little harder, it should be easier in April. If you work hard nothing is impossible here...actually I'd say is far easier than Europe...Good luck!
