Gap Year Programs in Australia & Oceania

Joining the Sydney Gap Year tour with Working Holiday Guide was one of the best decisions I’ve made for starting my working holiday in Australia. From the moment I arrived, the experience was well-organized and stress-free, allowing me to focus on enjoying the adventure and settling into my new surroundings. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned to provide everything I needed for a smooth transition into Australian life. The practical workshops on topics like setting up a bank account, applying for a tax file number, and job search tips were invaluable. These sessions gave me the confidence to hit the ground running as I began my working holiday journey. Exploring Sydney with a knowledgeable guide was a dream. We visited iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Beach, while also discovering hidden gems that only locals seem to know about. The balance between structured activities and free time was perfect, giving me space to relax or dive deeper into what interested me. The social aspect of the tour was another highlight. I met an amazing group of people, and the bonds we formed made the experience even more special. If you’re starting a working holiday in Australia, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It’s fun, informative, and sets you up for success in every way!

Being part of the first ever Voyager semester in Fall 2023 was an experience I was unprepared for, and the best decision I could’ve ever made. Little did I know that by embarking on this endeavor, I would unlock a part of myself that I didn’t know existed until then. My semester with EF Gap Year taught me self-love, self discovery, and the importance of being uniquely myself. Never did I think it was possible to be able to afford this trip of a lifetime, but I was left with so much satisfaction and so much pride that I had set this goal and I achieved it. This semester taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to and no goal is too big or too impossible. I flew to the other side of the world by myself and saw glowing blue oceans in Thailand that I never thought I’d be able to witness in my lifetime. I learn pieces of languages from each country I spent time in. I connected with people I would’ve never met without this experience and found with locals who had so much passion for their homeland and wanted to share it with me. Was I prepared for this transformation and self growth? No, and only because it was more than I could ever ask for. To anyone who is scared to take such a leap of faith, do it anyway. I haven’t met one person who regretted doing this for themselves, or thought it was a waste of time or money. Dream big, and you will reach the stars.
