Review of ‘Working Holiday’

Working Holiday visa is quite familiar to me because I had been in Australia with working holiday visa. So, I was a working holiday maker from 2008 to 2009 for about 6 months.

Working Holiday is good to experience new environment, but probably it can be also bad because you don’t have enough background knowledge to live and supporter like family. But for me working holiday visa was pretty good opportunity to taste other countries with low living cost. However I want to say that the outcome of working holiday experience is depends on person.

In my case, I was pretty lucky. I went there without full-preparation to live. Even that, I met great homestay family and learn the English at very good language school. And I spent my effort too. I didn’t hang out with any Koreans and try to have every lunch with non-Koreans. So, I used to hang out with many Vietnamese and keep talk to homestay family. Additionally, during do part-time job I try to avoid get a job at Korean restaurant then I got a job at Thai restaurant. After waitress job, I worked at the farm to gather more money and when I stayed at the farm I still kept studying English with town librarian. To estimate my working holiday life by myself, I would like to say success.

I am also sure other Korean students will do good job with working holiday visa. In my view, usually Korean students have desire to be a good student. And I want to go New Zealand, UK, Canada or Ireland again even I miss proper time to get a good job.
