Preparing for the trip

It's time for a change.

So I found out a little while ago that there is something called Work and Travel Visa to different countries. So I started the research and had a few options; Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Canada is a paradise in the winter, however it's required with an interview before you travel to get a secure job on a resort for 4-6 months. I wanted a warmer climate and something more to explore than just skiing. I've heard that New Zealand is more like the Norwegian country, that is in scenery. So my choice ended up being Australia.

Why Australia?
I'm going away for a year, and there is much to explore in Australia. All the people I have talked to, that have been to Australia, recommend it and are very pleased that they have traveled there.
I can also visit other countries while in Australia, so visiting New Zealand shouldn't be a big problem.

Now I only need to get a leave of absence from work. That worked out very well.
Next thing to do is get my vaccination in order and apply for the Work and Travel VISA, I hope that will work out as well. When the VISA approved I just need to book a plane and head "Down under"

I'm both terrified and excited at the same time! I don't have a clue as to what to expect.
