Unforgettable Experience in Australia: From Sydney to Surf Camp and Sunshine Coast – 10/10 Would Recommend!

Having the best time ever. My introductory week in Sydney was amazing met so many nice people, that I will be lifelong friends with. Surf camp was also so much fun oh my goodness. I am now at Sunshine Coast to celebrate Christmas and new years with family friends. I have also just handed in my CVs at the Sunshine Coast cafes so hopefully should hear something soon. But overall 10/10 experience would recommend this to anyone.

I’m absoloutely in love with Sydney!

I’m absoloutely in love with Sydney! I have made so many new friends and had such a great time during the trips last week. Surfing was so awesome that I already booked another surfcamp. I had a meeting today with Patrick, a lovely staff member, and he helped me a lot with my CV. Tomorrow I’ll have another meeting with him. Thank you for all of your help, this is a dream for me!!

The surf camp was amazing

I’ve been quite busy exploring! The surf camp was amazing – I got to feed the stingrays at the beach which was fab – even if it was a little scary. It’s actually been pretty rainy the past few days, the locals all seem quite pleased with all the rain, which is a change compared to the UK. I’m doing well, I have completed my RSA qualification so I can work in hospitality. The work team have been really helpful!
