Global Work & Travel Reviews

I’m from Victoria Australia and lived in Brisbane for three years. Then I flew out from Melbourne to Vancouver and now I’m currently in Whistler. I’ve been here about a week. When I arrived, I had my orientation at Global Work and Travel and was in constant contact with Chrissy. She was the lady looking after me, making sure I have got a job and helped me out with any questions I needed to know, and it’s definitely helped me get here and get everything organized. I’m currently staying at a friend’s house with my partner and had my third shift of work which I’m really enjoying. At the moment I’m waiting on my list pass, I’ve got to go take that out tomorrow then I’ll be snowboarding as well as working and that’s pretty much as far as my daily life goes. Being here in general is awesome, I'm loving it and I’ve met a lot of cool people. It’s what I wanted, so I’m really happy with it.

I'm from Brisbane, Australia and I traveled to British Columbia, Canada. The team at The Global Work & Travel was good, and they've always been helpful.

About a year ago, I saw a little ad on Facebook. I've always been keen on snowboarding, so I put my phone number, e-mail and name down, and Global called me the next morning. I was a bit hesitant at the start, but I then asked for all the paperwork and read through them and it seemed legit. So I put the deposit down and then we began organizing my visa. I had 12 months to organize everything and in about six months in, I had everything organized. Everything was easy up until then.

I traveled from Australia to Banff, Alberta through The Global Work & Travel Co. because I got interested in the snowy landscape. I arrived a bit earlier, so I changed, started working and then snowboarding. Since participating in the program, I've had a new outlook on different countries and new idea on how people live in a colder climate. I really enjoyed the whole experience.

I traveled to Hemlock Valley Ski Resort in BC. I had a problem as one of the travel people booked me the wrong flights. I had to fix it and I'm still waiting on a refund. But other than that, it's been fine. The lady that dealt with me the most time was very helpful. It's an easy and fun experience overall. The mountain opens tomorrow so we've been training every day and hanging out with some of the snowshoeing trekkers.

We are from Australia and we traveled to Ontario. We got a package and they organized everything for us, flights, banks and accommodations. I'm happy with the experience we had with Global Work & Travel.

The Global Work & Travel Co. was satisfying and helpful. I'm from Adelaide, Australia and I traveled to Calgary, Canada. I signed up for a two-year program and it was pretty easy going. There was a while where I didn’t hear from them but I've got a job now and I'm really happy. Christy, who was my Canada liaison, is really helpful wherever she could be. However, it was a lot of money for just what it is. They're really helpful but there's nothing in it that they did that I couldn't have worked out myself. But now that I've signed up, I believe I can get other jobs through them. But in hindsight, I probably wouldn't do the program again nor recommend to anyone else.

I am writing this complaint as I am severely out of pocket, highly disappointed and infuriated with the service I have received from Global Work and Travel (GWAT). I have had to leave Australia to go home much earlier than I anticipated. GWAT have put me in a worse off situation than when I arrived. I should never have used this horrendous company and I will never recommend them to anyone. My aim is to not only get a full refund but also compensation for wasting my time, money, failure to comply with the Goods and Services Act 1982 and for breaching many terms in their supposed service. I want to prevent any other travellers from using this horrendous company.

I'm from Brisbane, Australia and I traveled to Calgary in Canada through Global Work & Travel Working Holiday program. They made me feel comfortable during the orientation. They also helped me get settled. They found me a job so I have a bank account, phone number and a lot of important stuff. Right now because the job I got didn't have staff accommodation, I have to find a place to live. I'm in a hostel and just traveling to work and chilling around on my days off. They've been very helpful except for one from the Surfers Paradise office, who was rude and horrible. In general, I am satisfied. I would recommend them to other people but not to friends because it's too expensive.

I traveled to Canada from Australia. It's something out of my comfort zone and completely a different experience, changing my lifestyle and the way I approach what I wanted to do in life. All my friends and family are around my age, so interacting with people ten years younger than me during the program has been worthwhile and very beneficial. We share goals, ideas and interests. I'd been closed off from friends and family for the last two years so it's good to open up again with other people which has made me more confident. There have been hiccups along the way but I would still recommend The Global Work & Travel Co. because everybody has been helpful. They're all fantastic. It's been four weeks and I did early on most of the activities so now, I'm just relaxing for the last two weeks.

I'm from Australia and I traveled to Canada. I am on the Working Holiday program by Global Work & Travel Co. I am on a two-year day job and it's been months that we've been hit making people sing awesome stuff. I would recommend them. It's been super awesome.

I'm from Australia and I am currently in Canada, in Sun Peaks, BC. I participated in the program of The Global Work & Travel Co. where I paid about $1700 for five nights in Vancouver, basically because they did everything for you. I'm currently only about a month into the program, and the Canadian office was a lot better and I had a much better experience with it than the Australian office. With the Australian office, I've had a bit of troubles, but with the Canadian office, they did everything for me and answered all my stupid questions. They're fantastic. It's a program that makes you grow up a little bit and experience new culture. It's been amazing.

The phenomenal thing is... I came to Vietnam to help teach people that are in need, but as I have been drawn in by this amazing culture, I have learnt things about myself that I did not know existed. From the moment I stepped foot on the soil of Vietnam, the support I have received from all program staff and personnel has been if not, but close to extraordinary. I would like to say thank you to both The Global Work & Travel co, and my friends and family for supporting what has been a journey of a lifetime.

The program I picked with Global Work & Travel was the top one, the Working Holiday. I'm from Sydney Australia and am now in Calgary, Canada. I applied for the visa and they supplied me with plenty of job opportunities, and that's the job I'm at right now. They helped me set up my interview and Skype account. The team working at The Global Work and Travel Company put my mind at ease and I like that I'm learning much here. It's not the hardest thing and anyone can do it!

The company has refused to refund an initial payment of approx. $1400 only 2 weeks after expressing interest in a package. When we found out we still have to do it ourselves (i.e. flights and insurance) we cancelled. The company refuses to breakdown the cost nor refund any of the amount. We have provided consumer rights information and the company still will not comply. We are now left with no choice but to lodge through this site.

I participated in the Working Holiday from The Global Work and Travel. Their teams were all really good, they were helpful in assisting me with all my travel needs. I'm from Melbourne and I traveled to Canada. I just wanted to travel around and see something new and completely different. I've only been in Canada for about a month now, so I've been exploring around and seeing sights that are in and around Calgary. Also, I've just started work at the COP. I went to the Rocky Mountains and that was a pretty good experience, and I've never seen snow before I came to Canada, so it's pretty cool. It's probably the best thing that I've done.

I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I traveled to Vancouver in BC, Canada. I’ve always wanted to go to Canada to see the northern lights, dog sled, snowboard. That’s what brought me to The Global Work & Travel Co. The program I bought was the all-inclusive one. It was like the working holiday. I’m doing room attending at the moment for the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel. I’ve got that job pretty much straight out, really quick, there was no fuss, and no mucking around. Christy was helping me through my entire time. She was an absolute gem. She set me up with all that, going from one place to the other, and getting the job, which was really easy. Everything fell into place. I didn’t have to do anything. I’ve only been here for nearly two weeks and it’s easy to meet people. I didn’t have any drama or anything. She’s always very helpful and good.

Was fantastic! Got a job within 5 days of me being here and didn't have to worry about getting banks sorted or phone number etc. Everyone was so helpful and there for contact if I needed anything. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a working holiday overseas.

I'm from Brisbane, Australia and traveled to Banff, Canada through The Global Work's Get It All program. I got a job on a mountain and did a bit of skiing and snowboarding with my workmates Scott and Daisy. We've gone to see a lot including the Rockies before it started snowing, which is really nice. I did a few hikes up here in the mountains in Vancouver and it's beautiful to see.

I'm from Australia and I purchased the working holiday to Canada. They're helpful from the beginning and good at communicating back-and-forth with my new job. The set-up in Vancouver was awesome. When I arrived there they already organized a car to come and pick me up and then I went straight to the hostel, which was included in the price and they put me up there for five nights. In that time I could explore Vancouver and they gave me helpful tips like where to get your hair done. They went through everything on orientation day and helped me find accommodation. I've made a lot of new friends. Learning to live overseas, that's challenging at times but I've always got my mentor that I can talk to if I need to and she's good. Their program is structured. No hassle. It's totally worth everything.

I bought the Get It All package for the working holiday and it was good. In the program that I signed up to, the program coordinators line me up with interviews to jobs over here in Jasper, Alberta, which is good. Also it included means like airport transfer, five nights accommodation in Vancouver when I landed. They help you set up your bank account and your tax identification number. They helped you out with mobile phone, day-to-day life here. I'm just working as a bartender. But that's pretty fun and that's good.

I travelled from UK to Canada, Vancouver. I was interested in working abroad and traveling so I participated in the working visa. It was the thousand-pound program, the most expensive one. I've only been here for three weeks, so at the moment, I just mainly worked and Ive done a bit of traveling around Alberta. Global Work & Travel Company have been really informative. Any queries I had, they answer quite quickly. It was a new experience meeting new people, just gaining confidence outside of England. Really helpful, they made getting the Canadian visa a lot easier than me doing on my own.

I'm from Australia and I traveled to Canada. I availed of the working holiday program. I was having trouble with my Visa so I needed help so that's probably one of the greatest reasons which got my interest to join them. Whenever I had questions, I just called them up or emailed them and then they'd get back to me. I got a few job interviews, but then when I got to Canada I didn't really want anything to do with Calgary, I really didn't want to go there. It was kind of a last minute. I was already in Vancouver, had the orientation and then I was like, "Oh, Im just going to try it out." They've always check on me if I had any queries. They would even help you get your phone and numbers and had it all organized for you to go. Going with The Global Work is the best decision I made.

The Global Work & Travel Company advertised the program as one would only need to set up in a country, and they would seek out the jobs, visas, etc. We got the whole working holiday program which was their most expensive package. It’s pure laziness on my part but I liked the ease of getting a job here in Canada. At first they were phoning and sending us emails. Then, when we got to Canada from England, we went to their office and met The Global Work & Travel Company team. It was all very good. We told them the things we wanted to do and they organized themselves around that. The structure of the program was what we wanted so it was fair.

I'm from Australia and went here in Canada for a working holiday using Global Work and Travel. I've only been working and that part has been good. However, I had a few issues with one of their people in Australia named Ashley. She was very pushy and difficult to interact with. But apart from her, everyone else has been amazing, especially Jen. She was incredible to work with and she made everything so much easier. Global Work and Travel is a fun group to work and interact with. The knowledge they have of the country and where I was going was a lot more than I had. They were a big help.

I'm from Perth, Western Australia and I traveled to British Columbia through Global Work and Travel's working holiday program and now I'm in Squamish. They assisted me with all my travel needs and are really good. It's really expensive and I had to live by myself but it's been fun.

I'm from Albany, Western Australia and traveled to Banff, Canada. The Global Work & Travel Co. got me the first job and they try to look for accommodation and help get insurance number and a bank card, and set up. Going to Canada was great. I don't know that they helped a lot because a lot of the stuff could have been easily done. It was because I was moving countries so I wanted the security. I didn't know how easy it would be to get housing or jobs but where I am, it's easy and I like it. I definitely didn't need Global because I did my own flight insurance anyway. I had to pay a fee to them because I didn't use the flight insurance but it was still cheaper. Some people were very helpful and there were others who weren't helpful at all. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

It has taken me about two years to write this review - partly because I wanted to forget about this awful company. I used Global Work and Travel Co. to gain placement as a volunteer in Cambodia so I cannot speak about their effectiveness as a work agency. Luckily my four months in Cambodia were amazing but it had nothing whatsoever to do with this ineffective company who honestly gave me so many sleepless and stressful nights. They were so super helpful before I handed any money over and then as soon as money was exchanged all contact pretty much ceased. Emails and questions would go unanswered or replied to shoddily.

I'm from South Australia and traveled to Quebec. I participated in a working holiday program with Global Work & Travel to be able to work and sit with our girls but still be able to travel and see the world. Their representatives have been brilliant and helpful. They made the transitioning very easy and comfortable. They made us feel very secure. They assisted us with all our travel needs and our questions with the activities and stuff around different areas of Canada. By participating in the program, I started learning French, which has been really awesome. I'm interested in learning some more.

I would never advise anyone to use this company, ever. I originally booked a working holiday trip to Canada, paid over $5000 for them to organise and assist me in finding a job. 3 weeks before I was due to leave, I got a back injury and had to postpone my trip. I originally postponed as I thought I would still be able to go at a later date. I then found out that the injury was so bad that I had to have surgery at which point I then tried to cancel with Global. Global absolutely refused to give me any money back and when I tried to claim it on insurance, I found I had no policy set up which I had paid them to do when first booking my trip.

I was interested in learning something new and different, like working in the snow as a snowmaker so I got into the working holiday program. From where I'm from, we don't have snow, so it's a really big change coming here and learning some interesting things. My experience with interacting with the Global Work and Travel Company team has been really good. It was quick and had no dramas or problems, and they're all really nice. I've learned mostly about work, trying to keep warm, and meeting new people and interacting with them. I'm having a great time and met a lot of great people, so I like the program.

The last time I traveled, I didn't know where I was going. And since convenience was the biggest attraction for me, I went with Global Work & Travel Co. when I traveled from the sunshine coast of Australia to Roslin in Canada. Their representatives were very good and helpful, and it was really convenient to just wake up in a country, have everything setup and ready to go.

We traveled to Québec Canada using The Global Work & Travel Network and got a two-year work visa. Jen, from the Canadian office, took the majority of our stuff and found us the jobs. It's right up our alley, what we’re after. When we got here, Samantha was our next point of call. She was the one that took us to the banks. She did her job perfectly. We only had three days because the employers wanted us to start working as soon as possible, so they got everything jam-packed down into those days.

A big thank you to Global for making my trip to Australia simple and easy! They were and still are always happy to help with any questions and problems I have. I had a job interview the morning after I landed and got the job! I am a food and beverage attendant for a 4-star resort on Fraser Island. Home to the dingoes and one of the world’s most sandiest islands, which is paradise. Definitely the most beautiful place I have worked! Amazing beaches!

I'm from Brisbane, Australia, just finished university and wanted to get out of home and go traveling. I went to Banff in Alberta through The Global Work & Travel's program, which was the most expensive. They're all nice people but there were a few things that were misleading. I probably wouldn’t go with them again.

Global Working Holiday & Travel Co. is a disgrace for a company. They have taken $2000 off me and have not helped me one bit in finding a job or assistance with my visa. They wouldn't stop calling me to get my money and once they received it their customer service levels dropped enormously and didn't want to help me until I paid another fee which was an outrageous amount for a one way ticket to Canada and insurance $4700!!! This company is refusing to give my money back or downgrade my package which is absurd since they have not provided me with hardly any assistance and was not upfront about what their company does and does not help me with.

From beginning to end I felt like I was being helped through the GWAT Co. My initial experience was a pleasant one and very informational. They did something right, as they had me sold from the very first time I spoke to a representative. There was a little confusion with some information I was given mid way through the process, but by the time I was matched with my rep in Aussie I was "sweet-as" as the Kiwis say! I didn't finish the Au Pair Programme, as it wasn't something I was suited for. But if you're good with kids, and don't mind feeling like you're the big sister of a family then it could be for you. Personally I was just too stir crazy to sit in the suburbs all week! I got bit by the travel bug, and really, if it wasn't for GWAT Co I wouldn't be here so I'm thankful for everything!

I have had a fantastic experience living and working in Italy; though I've only been here a little over two months I have learnt so much and have had some truly unforgettable experiences. The level of support I've received courtesy of the Global Work and Travel Company has been exemplary and I would highly recommend them to any young person wanting to have an amazing overseas experience. Thanks so much to all of the great staff at GWAT; you have made all of my dreams come true and I couldn't be more happy right now!

I joined the Working Holiday program of Global Work and Travel Co. I'm from Australia and went to Canada. The program included them getting me a job and helping with my visa. I've been working and exploring around Canada and since participating in the program, I'm more confident that I can move overseas. I highly recommend them.

Would never use this company again and will continue to convince like minded friends out of going with them. I paid $1500 for a package to assist with finding a job while overseas. I later found out that they cannot actually charge for finding employment and that the $1500 fee was for the extras like 3 nights hostel accommodation, assistance with tax refund, airport transfer, etc. When I was enquiring about the product, I was told many people had already used the program in Italy only to find out I was one of the first. When I was doing my application I was told I had to take their flights or organise flights of my own within 2 days (a little difficult to organise flights to go overseas when you don't know when you would be starting work). I enquired how much flights would be to Europe and they said it would cost just over $1900 for my one way ticket.

I got interested in The Global Work & Travel Co. package and the opportunity to travel. I’m from New Zealand and went to Canada. There was an itinerary that we followed. Their team was polite, and everything was as I expected. Everything you do can come down to experience and this is no different. You meet a wide variety of people a different way, living a different way to see the world and another part of it.

After 5 years of being in the Hair Styling field, I spontaneously decided to leave my job. I had no backup plan but knew I wanted to travel/move away. I came across Global online and registered with them that evening to be an Au Pair in the United Kingdom. Within 3 short months I made the move to London England. With the amazing guidance from their staff they made the process so easy for me. After only being abroad for a month and a half I have already made amazing friends and memories! I would highly recommend Global. In fact I question why others aren't doing the same when I tell them what I am currently doing as a career as an au pair. Thank you Global, for giving me the experience of a lifetime!

My time so far in Australia. My name's Matthew, and I arrived into Australia with the Global Work and Travel Co on the 12th August 2015. Coming to Australia was a very scary thought but knowing I had the support of Global behind me made feel a lot more at ease and right from the moment I joined the programme up until now Global have supported me a lot. From setting up a bank account and issuing me with a mobile phone with credit, it has made my experience far more enjoyable knowing I can relax a lot more. The most important thing for me coming to Australia was finding a job I liked as I wanted to make my time here the best possible.

I traveled from Nova, Missouri to Lake Louise in Canada through The Global Work and Travel Co programs. Their team was awesome and totally on hand. They also respond if I ask questions. And now I'm here in Canada living by myself away from my family, so this is definitely an eye-opening experience, not being able to rely on anybody but myself.

My name is John-David ** and I am a 23 year old traveler from the United States. I arrived in Australia on the tenth of August with the help of the Global Work and Travel Program. My decision to travel to the Gold Coast was easy for me once I realized the help that I would be receiving from Global Work and Travel. Now that I have been in Australia for one month, I am certain that I have made the right choice in life by venturing out of my comfort zone and beginning a new life.

I participated in the working holiday, in which I would get to work and stay in a town in Jasper Alberta to experience their culture, and I recently called The Global Work and Travel Co. to complain about the work. They said somebody would call me back, then I emailed but I haven’t got a response until now. I was a bit annoyed, but that’s okay since my experience in Canada has been fantastic. It’s been cool meeting new people, and I love the culture. The scenery’s been awesome too.

I'm from New Zealand and I joined the Working Holiday program of The Global Work & Travel Co. - I traveled to Canada. The people from the company were good, they helped me settle in and travel more.

They are super friendly but my only major disappointment would be the travel insurance. For a year, it costs 2 grand, whereas anywhere else it would cost a grand. I travelled from Australia to Canada and they call me regularly to make sure everything's all good. The Global Work & Travel Company people are helpful but they could be a bit more helpful in getting your visa and give you more of the heads-up on what you have to do.

I'm from a small town in Australia called Malanda. I have traveled to Canada, and I'm currently living in a small town in BC called Invermere. I participated in The Global Work's working holiday program because I needed a change of scenery and I thought it was the best opportunity to do so. I'm currently working as a server at a resort here in Invermere and they have supplied me with staff accommodation. The Global Work's people are absolutely fantastic. They've been very helpful, encouraging, and supportive. They are very quick to reply to any queries or concerns I have. They're incredibly polite and really friendly. It's been a mind-opening and positive experience from the get-go. I would recommend it to absolutely anybody, especially to any first-time travelers.

I'd recommend anyone to do Global Work & Travel. I availed of their Get-It-All program - it's easier for me to have everything sorted out. I'm from New Zealand and now in Canada - currently I'm working but I've done some hiking and trekking even though haven't done much travel so far. But through the program, I learned about significant cultural differences of Canada from New Zealand. To add, their customer service people were nice and helpful, and they provide us with information. All in all, it's a fantastic experience.

I’m from Australia and I traveled to Canada through the Get It All program of The Global Work & Travel Company. With the Get it all, I was able to get a job opportunity before I left Australia. I got an interview and was picked up from the airport. I had seven nights’ accommodation, help to set up a bank account and a TIN number, an insurance number, help to set up a phone, and all the help I needed to get started.

We got Global's biggest package, the Get It All, and we went for Vancouver for a week. We went to an orientation at the office and some weekend events, then started working. Everything was good, they very helpful and made everything a lot more easier than if I did it on my own.

My roommate and I got the same program from Global Work & Travel Co, the Get-It-All package. I come from Australia but I'm in Canada right now and Global Travel just set me up with my last travel over here.

I contacted Global because I wanted to live overseas for a short stint of 6 months. They have been amazing in supporting me. I am living in Tofino which is the suburb I requested for. I am working in a 5 star hotel Full Time with great hours of 9-4 so I have plenty of free time to do all the things I want when I want! A special mention needs to go to all the staff. They knew exactly what they were doing and were able to support me from the very beginning of ideas on where I can live and work in Canada applying for my visa. It is a very scary process if it is your first time and you have not got time to waste on any errors right through to now. And even if I want to live and work somewhere else in Canada they will be able to assist with that too in the future!

I'm from Australia and I traveled to Canada via Global Work & Travel Company's Get-It-All program and it's been really good. They helped me along the way and helped set everything out. I've landed a new job and met some new people. The company has been very helpful overall.

Our overall experience with The Global Work & Travel Co. has been fair. I like the Canadian side because they answered all my questions. I dislike the Australian side because they didn't give us any information. The Canadian side has been fantastic and the Australian side has been horrible.

Everyone I have dealt with have been helpful, informative & have made it a great experience. I have recommended Global to all my friends back home in Aus. :)

I signed up with Global Work and Travel Co in late 2013 for their J-1 USA program. I had work planned in the US and needed a J-1 sponsor. I had researched all the possible options and eventually went with Global Work and Travel Co. I paid my $595 deposit with all intents and purposes of going through with the program. Within almost 24 hours after having paid my deposit, I learnt that I could not go through with the program. I spoke to the company about a refund given the nature of the emergency, and I got nothing but a cold-hearted email of sympathy.

Everything went well with Global Work and Travel. Experience with them is good, and they were helpful.

I'm from Australia and I traveled to Alberta in Canada through the packaged program from Global Work & Travel. They found me a job and set me up in a couple of days in a hostel in Vancouver for orientation. They've been helpful. I like the experience of meeting new people.

I'm from Melbourne, Australia and I travelled to Hamilton, Canada. I got the Get It All package and I'm about to start my work on Monday. Their team have been fantastic so I'd recommend them.

I'm from Wales, UK and I've travelled to Revelstoke, Canada. I had the Get It All program from Global Work. Their people were great and they helped me out with my visa and checking out flights. I got the flight over and they found me work. So I spent a couple of days in Vancouver, and then I travelled to Revelstoke, and it's been really nice. Now I'm living on my own and I have learned to be more independent.

I was reasonably happy with my experience with The Global Work & Travel. I didn't have any problems aside from we weren't told that we had to get a visa for the US before we left since we had to stop at LA before flying to Vancouver. It was a last-minute thing. It was just lucky they did them in the airport or else we would have missed our flight. We told them about that when we got here and they said that they're gonna change something in their packs when they tell people about it 'cause apparently it happened to a couple of other people as well.

I'm originally from Norbar, Australia and I traveled to Jasper, Canada. I'm doing a working holiday. I like to travel but I wanted to spend more time in a country to get to know the culture in there, and working in that country would be the best way to do that. I went through about seven different papers and it was a bit hard to communicate with the team at The Global Work and Travel Company. But the last lady that I got was very good. She was helpful with all of my travel needs. Since participating in the program, I thought I probably should try it myself but also have them as a backup, like be prepared.

I'm from Australia and I travelled to Canada. I always wanted to travel and work as well so I went on a working holiday where you’re getting experience and you’re sort of doing two things at once. I've always wanted to work overseas. I've rang Global Work & Travel off, asked them a few questions and did my research to get where I am. Global Work has been so helpful when I was in Australia especially when getting my visa. It was just so painful and they always said to me, "Just give us a phone call. Email us. If you have any problems, just let us know." And they were always really great. They're so approachable and easy going.

I wanted to go out of state since I haven't done it before so from Australia, I went to Canada for a working holiday through the Global Work & Travel company.

I am doing a working holiday in Banff, Canada and I like the idea of having help to find out ways to get a job and being oriented into the country. Global was really good and they've been checking off of me every couple of weeks to make sure I am okay which is nice. I love travelling and the program gave me that opportunity while still earning some money as well.

I was super nervous about going but I am so glad I did! I had one orientation week and one volunteer week. During the orientation week had 2 classes on how to speak Bahasa (language of Bali), made a flower offering, had a painting and cooking class, and went to a Hindu temple! It was really awesome and I was kept busy which was good. On my own time I climbed a volcano (which was amazing, I watched the sunrise!) and rode elephants on a different day. The volunteer week I taught English to kindergarteners and Healthcare to primary school students which was especially rewarding because they honestly don't know anything about the basics. Two weeks there was not enough. I definitely want to go back now and explore more of the island!

Global Work and Travel Co. were helpful but the price was a bit ridiculous.

The Global Work and Travel Company has been helping and checking on me though the working holiday hasn't gone as we'd hope. It has nothing to do with Global and they've been supporting us 24 hours and has been there taking a lot of pressure off. They helped me split up the price of the fees and helped me book everything since it is overwhelming doing it on your own. The program has also helped me to stand out for myself and make decisions and I am really glad that I had them.

I was bored with my life in Australia and I thought I would come over to Canada where everything seemed a little bit more exciting and beautiful. I was doing the working holiday so I booked with Global Work & Travel Co. Interactions with the team was good. They were helpful. I made a lot of new friends during the trip since I like exploring and getting out a lot more often.

I was ripped off and mislead by this company 5 years ago due to lies and pressure sales tactics employed by GWAT Australia. Later I was given a written confirmation by the current sales manager for AU and NZ that my deposit would be returned to my bank account and to provide credit card information and bank details. After providing my personal details they have avoided me (this alarmed me and I am now in the process of changing my bank details and reported an attempted fraud attempt by a representative of GWAT AU).

The team at Global Work & Travel Co has been really good and I'm very pleased. They've emailed me a couple of times when I travelled to Banff, Canada to check on how it was, how work was doing and if I needed anything. They were helpful even before I left Australia for Canada. When I got to Banff, I've gained heaps of friends and found out how to do a visa. It's not the greatest thing in the world but at least I know how to do it now. I’m sitting right in between these beautiful mountains and it’s just stunning. It can’t get any better and I'm enjoying it so far.

I am from Australia and I travelled to Canada for work through Global Work & Travel. Their team was really helpful and since participating in the program, I've met a lot of people and got used to climate changes.

I highly recommend this company because you are given one member of staff to talk to so they know what you want and there is no going back and forth. You tell the staff what country and what type of thing you want and they look to find what is right for you. They set up interviews until you find the right one and no matter how little the question you have an answer by the next day. Even when you have moved and in a different country they are still in contact and you can still get advice and help. You always have someone there.

I'd definitely recommend Global Work and Travel. They helped me out in getting my job and were sort of checking up on me. My experience with them has been real good.

I'm from central Queensland and travelled to Banff with a two year working visa so I'm just working and travelling around. The Global Work and Travel Co has been really good to me though I haven't been as good to them. They were very helpful and they'd call me back every time they said they would. After participating in the program, I feel more independent since you go to a new place not knowing anyone. You start a whole new group of friends and forced to go out of your comfort zone. It's definitely very good.

I’m from Adelaide, Australia and I’ve traveled to Canada, Alberta, and Lake Louise. I work six days a week because my workplace is short of staff. After I finish work and on my days off, I would go exploring in the lakes and hiking. I’ve made new friends and my confidence has gone up a lot. Plus interactions with Global Work and Travel Company’s team was very good and has gotten back really quickly. They’ve been very helpful.

It's been an awesome experience with Global Work & Travel Co - they've been absolutely incredible. They've been nothing but supportive, informative and wonderful. They certainly got me on my way in Canada and made me feel very at home here. ** is an absolute legend! I was actually in a car accident a couple of days ago and she's been trying to contact me for quite a while, so I should probably get on to her and let her know I'm okay.

I'm from Sydney, Australia and I traveled to Jasper in Canada on the working holiday program of the Global Work and Travel Company. Their team was pretty good and helpful in assisting with all of my travel needs. I've gone to places and met new people.

I participated in a working holiday from The Global Work & Travel Co. It was a day-to-day program and I'm working at a hotel at the moment, saving money so I can do more travelling later on. Their team were great, they're always on hand, and always around. Since participating in the program I was able to set up a network overseas. I've travelled before but never worked anywhere before like this, so that's been a good experience for me to have. I've had no problems at all.

We were doing the 2-year working holiday, travelled from Dampier in Western Australia to Vancouver, and then we came into Invermere. When we found the Global program on the internet, we just made the decision to go forward and then Global sorted it out. Their team is brilliant. Whenever we have questions they were there to answer them. Through this experience, we made a lot of friends from around the world. In two weeks, we've been seeing amazing places already. We're looking forward to going around the continent and getting a bit of sights and seeing around the place. It was good savings and we love it.

I traveled from Australia to Canada with Global for a working holiday. I've just come here and got a job in Invermere. It's been really good so far and I love it, Canada is beautiful. All's been really good and they've been very helpful. They've helped me since I've started the program in Australia and then got me all the way here and got me a job, so I'm quite thankful for that. I'm making more friends and experiencing a different culture. I just wanted to experience a new life experience, and just get some great work experience over here as well (just so I have something different on my resume, saying that I've worked in another country for two years or something).

Global's team was pretty helpful. Now I get to make new friends and learn new stuff. And if there is a stage where I get stuck in, it's good that they’re always ready to help.

I rang Global travel last year in September. I was always on the edge of doing a working holiday and I talked to a lovely guy named ** who answered all my questions. He definitely was the reason I took the next step in this amazing experience. I then had to talk to **, who was equally as helpful. I rang up multiple times with a various questions and he was always happy to help. When it came to buying flights and insurance I decided to buy my own because it suited my needs more. They were not worried for me to do that. Global Work and Travel have helped me so much, and been so supportive whilst I was still in Australia and even now in England. ** is always an email away if I have any trouble. I would definitely recommend this agency. I have a wonderful job in Sidmouth, Devon. Have made multiple friends and it's only the start of my adventure!

I'm from Australia and I've come to Canada for a working holiday through The Global Work & Travel Co. I worked as a housekeeper at a hotel 5 days a week. Then the rest of the time I'm just travelling. When we arrived in Vancouver, we had an orientation with them. That's mostly all I've had to do with them since I got here. But before I came, they were pretty helpful in always answering all my questions when I called them. Now, through the program, I don't see Canada just as a tourist. You get to live here and meet the locals as opposed to just the tourist-y feel.

Global Work and Travel were so helpful to me when organizing my trip to Australia. Never having travelled abroad before I was of course hesitant and nervous about the whole thing but the team at GWT answered any questions I had and assured me that if a problem occurred with the family they would be able to assist. Thankfully that didn't happen! I was fortunate enough to be placed with a fantastic family thanks to the GWT AuPair program. I decided to also go through them again but this time to Italy in 2016! I recommend GWT to anyone that wants to travel abroad.

I have recently been an Au Pair in the Netherlands, with thanks to Global Work and Travel for helping me turn my dreams into reality. I would and I have recommended you guys, you all do such a wonderful job at helping and assisting whenever and wherever you can. I honestly would have still been sitting at home dreaming about this experience if I hadn't come across your website and spontaneously applied - within a week my trip was set into action and I was ready to be matched with a family - within four months I was on my way. Definitely a life changing experience that I will never forget!! For anyone wondering if they should join this program, have no hesitation, just do it!! You'll have the absolute time of your life with no regrets. Global Work and Travel were always just an email away whenever I had an issue both before, after and whilst I was on my journey. Thanks again guys!!

My experience with The Global Work & Travel Co. was okay so far. We've only been here for about a month and they were good at organizing interviews very quickly.

Global Work & Travel Co has been so helpful with every aspect of my travels! I have enjoyed every single minute of it! I have seen so many new amazing places and created some beautiful friendships that will remain with forever! I seriously love my job!

Last November (2014) I signed up to go on the Bali trip with Global Work and Travel Co. I felt rushed and pressured to make a decision and commit to the program and lost about $600. I called the very next day to cancel and get a refund only to be told that a refund was not an option. This was never communicated to me on the phone, by email, OR in the contract they sent me. They told me that the ONLY thing they could do was give me a credit for a different trip at a later date only to find out that other people have received refunds for the same reason that I have requested one? This "business" is dishonest and a scam! Do yourself a favor and put your money into.

I love Global Work & Travel Co. They've done everything that they said they did. I went from New South Wales to Canada on a working holiday. The team at Global was really good. They always asked what was going on and I asked them any questions that I had. I've traveled on my own and now I'm a qualified cross guard.

Global Work & Travel Co. has been really, really helpful and friendly. I've actually become almost friends with my coordinator, **. She checks up on me and has been good. I'm from Kosovo but I travelled from the east coast of Australia and I flew down to Sydney, and then Sydney to Vancouver. I'm doing a working holiday. Because I've never done anything like this before, it's a good opportunity to get out there and meet new people and see a place I've never been before. I love travelling and it really intrigued me. I would say I'm a bit shyer than the average person but when I'm travelling a lot, you kind of have to just ask if you don't know things and you got to ask people. And I feel I have a bit more confidence if I keep talking to people I've never met before, so that's been helpful on my character, at least. I have a bit of an issue with finding information. But I'm very fond of them. I think they are a very good company and would recommend them.

Global Work & Travel has been good. I haven't had any complaints at all. We went down at the Athabasca River in Jasper, Alberta and it was pretty good.

I am from New Zealand and traveled to Canada. The people from The Global Work & Travel were lovely and helpful, and were able to assist me with all my travel needs, they have even set me up with a fund in the bank in town. I participated in the top program from The Global Work & Travel because I wanted a job if I come out here. Global Work and Travel is Convenient, friendly and fun.

Where can I even begin to explain this incredibly eye opening journey! INCREDIBLE!!! I loved every minute from scrubbing bear and orangutan poop to mixing concrete by hand to build a new macaque enclosure! Not only are the animals incredible but so are the people that work at Matang!! I cannot recommend this trip highly enough! If given the opportunity to go again I would leave my life in a heartbeat! The amazing animals, staff and surrounding area will be something I will never forget and the incredible new friends I have will always be held close to my heart!

Received a full refund from the company for $500.

I'm from Australia and I travel to Canada. I got an All Program so Global Work & Travel organized my work for me. That was the thing that interested me the most because I sometimes struggle to find jobs, so I wanted to come to Canada having a job already organized. They helped me get my visa and walked me through it. If I had any questions, I could call them and they organized my job for me, my stay when I first got to Canada, and my transfer from the airport to the hostel. When my job ends, I'll go in to their Vancouver office and they'll organize another job for me, if I want.

To the Global Work and Travel team! This experience has been unreal so far. I am working in a great restaurant called the Boat House in Tewkesbury. A country town outside of London. I am from Sydney Australia, so to be in a country town is so different but yet every day is exciting to see what animal I'll see wandering around. :)

Hi all! About a year ago today I decided I wanted to do something more in life, so I took to Google and came across the Global Work and Travel Company. The next thing I know I was on the phone deciding which option to choose from! I chose to be an Au Pair, in the beautiful Netherlands. I've been here 9 months, and had the most amazing experience EVER!!!! I'm going home in three, which is too soon for my liking. I'm so happy I decided to do this. I had the chance to live with a Dutch family and experience the culture first hand. I did a Dutch course and am still learning, just from daily life. One of my favourite things about Holland is all the fiets (bikes!!!). I just love the relaxed feel of it, and the generally happy people.

I participated in the get it all program of The Global Work & Travel Co and it's absolutely brilliant. Their team are fantastic and polite. They'll call and email you. They were very helpful in assisting me with all the visa and work permit stuff and the places to see. I'm learning a new culture in a different place to live and I've got more opportunities and life goals and so far, it's been fantastic.

Our experience with The Global Work & Travel Co. has been real good. I was in Queensland, Australia and traveled to Manitoba, Canada. We took the best program that they've got and their team helped us with everything. Whenever we needed any information, they'd ring us straight back or email us within a day. With the program that they set us up with, everything is pretty much like a job and accommodation. We've only been here for about a month and a half and we've just been working. Everything is awesome. We've met new people and experienced the cold weather.

I'm from Queensland, Australia and I've travelled to Ontario in Canada. I purchased the Get It All package because I had never travelled overseas or moved on my own before. I had no experience with applying for visas or applying for jobs overseas, or setting up accommodations. With the package, it just seemed like the most convenient one with having the most assistance in everything that I needed.

I am very disappointed and shocked by the lack of assistance I'm already receiving. I've joined the "get it all" program for Canada and you would think after spending such a substantial amount you would fully receive the best support and assistance possible - but nope. I paid in full over 3 weeks ago and all I received was one email from the company by a guy named ** saying what documents I need to get together and call him back once I have them all? What a joke! If you've never traveled alone before or been on a working holiday how the hell are you supposed to know a) how to get all these documents, b) how much they cost cause let me tell you according to the company's brochure it told me my visa would cost 150 only to find out AFTER in my application documents it's 250.

I want to warn those considering a program with 'The Global Work & Travel Co.' ('Global'), in particular the 'Get Paid to Teach English in South Korea! ' program. After paying a significant sum for the program, filling out a resume template and providing other documents, I was told that the first step is to apply to EPIK. EPIK stands for English Program in Korea and is a program which you can apply to yourself and at absolutely no cost (ie: FREE). Had I known that I'd be referred to EPIK, I would not have paid a few thousand dollars for the program.

Hi there! I am currently living and working in beautiful Canmore, Canada, thanks to the Global Work and Travel Co. I had decided to do the trip to Canada solo and it was a great relief to have the help and support that they gave me. They helped me with my visa, flights, work interviews and even an orientation once arriving in Canada. I have had such an amazing time here in Canmore. It's a little town in the Rockies and it is surrounded by stunning, white-capped mountains! I had my very first white Christmas here, I have learnt how to snowboard and ice-skate, and I have made some amazing friends. I thank Global Work and Travel for making this happen, and would recommend them to anyone wanting that bit of extra help with their overseas working holiday!

I have used Global Work and Travel Co. to help with our seasonal staffing needs. We have seasonal staff turn over twice a year which means a lot of hiring. The staff we have hired thru Global have been great! The staff at Global have been very helpful with sending potential candidates, setting up interviews and helping the hired candidate get here. Having potential staff prescreened and visa's in order is a definite time saver. Thank you Global for all your help.

Global work and travel have made it very easy to find great candidates suited to the positions needed on many occasions. Some of which have become long term key members of our team.

I’m from Australia and traveled to Canada. I'm in Edmonton AB now, living in a house in the suburbs and just started working for a sales company. I was pretty happy with everything with the Global Work & Travel Co. Everyone in the Vancouver office was very nice and helpful to me. The only problem I had with them was they put a quite large markup on their flights.

I was contacted last winter (2013) by Global Work and Travel indicating that they had candidates available for seasonal employment in our tourism based business. I was provided with a list of possible candidates including detailed resumes. Once I had made my selection, telephone or Skype interviews were set up in a timely manner. I decided on 5 (I think!) candidates, Global Work and Travel took care of forwarding contracts and orientation documents and monitored the return of the signed contracts. All in all a seamless and stress-free way to hire summer staff.

On behalf of the Mount Robson Inn and the Mountaineer Lodge we have had wonderful experiences dealing with Global. Everyone I have dealt with have been friendly and efficient in handling my requests. Resumes and interviews are always set up in a timely manner and Global has been very helpful in helping me out when I am out of town and am still working.

Hi my name is Owen **. I am currently in Calabogie, Ontario in Canada taking part in a working holiday with my Fiancé Mykaela. Thanks to Global Work & Travel the preparation and the realization of this holiday has been simple, care free and exciting. From the beginning they assisted us with obtaining our Canadian working Visa, the organization of our flights to America and then to Canada, accommodation and our employment. With their knowledge and advice we were able to organize our trip in a timely and care free manner and their assistance gave us great peace of mind throughout the set up of our journey.

I have now been living in Big White, Canada for just over 4 months and what a great experience The Global Work and Travel have given me. For my first time travelling overseas by myself they have always been there to help and to see how I was going, which makes me so much more comfortable to have the support. They helped me get my flights, job and insurance. It is such a magical place to live, I get to wake up to the snow every day and go boarding every day. I had the most beautiful white, snowy Christmas. Definitely worth travelling through Global to get a lifetime experience and help along the way.

I appreciate the assistance that The Global Work and Travel Co. has provided to our companies over the past two years. Their staff - notably Colleen and Toni --have been a pleasure to deal with, and have been very helpful in providing us with an excellent assortment of competent, well-screened candidates. We are looking forward to continued association with The Global Work and Travel Co. in the future, and I would recommend them to other hospitality businesses looking to filling gaps in their workforce.

We have been using Global Work & Travel to source quality seasonal ski resort employees for 5 years now and couldn't be happier. The candidates that have been screened and forwarded to us are reliable, enthusiastic and have proven to be valuable team players for our business. The local support offered from the Vancouver office is a big bonus to both us the employer and the employees. They are fast, friendly and very reliable. We highly recommend Global Work & Travel for any recruitment needs.

There’s only one bad thing that happened. When I went to get a taxi, they weren't working with the company anymore. But I managed to sort it out and they gave me a refund.

The Global Work and Travel is an excellent source for all our hiring needs. They take care of every detail and always find exactly what I need quickly and efficiently. Thank you for your excellent service!

Humanitarian Work in Cusco Peru - This was a life changing volunteer experience that I would strongly recommend. Everything was organized and the staff were extremely supportive every step of the way. Take a risk, step outside your comfort zone and volunteer abroad!

I don't think we got enough for what we paid for with The Global Work & Travel Co. but they did treat us pretty well, so in the end, it was still pretty good.

I participated in one of their programs. It was the one where I get the Whistler package. I selected that program as it was the most convenient and it was the one I saw most interest in. I'm from Australia and traveled to Vancouver. I've never traveled alone and they helped me with that. The experience I had will definitely make me want to travel more.

April.15th 2014. It gives me great pleasure to write a testimonial for the Global Work & Travel Co. Over the past 5 years I have successfully recruited key individuals from GWAT for future employees located from all over the world. I have found the service they provide benefits our business immensely and I plan to continue using their services for years to come.

I've heard that to get a job in Canada is ridiculously hard. I got into a working program with Global Work & Travel and got their most expensive package. I travelled from Australia to Vancouver, and Vancouver to Banff. I had an interview yesterday, I had an orientation this morning, and now I've got myself a full-time job. They set me up with an interview online and got a job through that way.

I really don't feel like I got value for money for my 1,600 bucks. I got interested in The Get It All program because it listed a range of factors that facilitates a working holiday with limited issues. But a lot of what was on the Get It All program, you can do all that yourself. You didn't need the Global Work & Travel Co. for that. It was all stuff you could have purchased yourself, and go on the processes and followed them. On a positive note, the people at Global Work & Travel Co. have been good.

Originally, I'm from Australia and I traveled to Canada. I just started work at my job. I've been to them Thursday, checking out everything while I've been over here, just being a bit of an adventure and a lot of fun. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff. It's all been pretty good so far. I've had no issues with them or anything they've organized. I'd recommend them to people.

I traveled to Banff from Australia through The Global Work & Travel Co's Get It All program. They give you job opportunities, help you with your visa, set up interviews, give you accommodations for five nights. But they need to stress that they offer job opportunities, not jobs. I know that got stressed but the people who ring you when you start, they say they will find you a job. It's kind of false advertising, in fact. I was really lucky in the fact that I had a job when I got here, but during the orientation in Vancouver, there was more people that didn't have jobs than there were people that did. There were six of us and four of them didn't have jobs.

I'm from Australia and traveled to Canada through Global Work and Travel Co. I was in the Get It All Program and they did a job interview for me. I just found it quite annoying that they were not really helpful when I arrived in Vancouver and I didn't know how to find my own way.

I'm from Australia and I'm now staying in Muskoka in Northern Ontario. I'm pretty lucky -- I've got a real job and a really good place here now. They first arranged my flight and got me accommodation in Vancouver. They provided me with two job opportunities and one was in banks in Alberta, Canada. I went to that interview, but I wasn't successful because they wanted me to extend until September, but I didn't want to stay until September. Then they gave me another job opportunity at the Marriott Hotel, which is where I am now. Today was my first day at the job and it was a good day.

I'm originally from New Zealand. I traveled from Sydney to Vancouver. I got the complete package and actually got it on a deal so it was cheaper and that's why I bought it. The program I took part in was offered by Global Work. I gained new friends and am adapting to a new environment quickly as need be. It's been pretty good mostly, but recently, it was quite annoying because I contacted them and got a generic email back from one of the girls. That was quite rude for a generic email and considering the circumstances. She didn't take the time to look at my file and see what my circumstances were for her to send back a personalized email. Nevertheless, it has been an easy, fun, and enjoyable experience.

Global Work helped me out in getting a visa with the one that I selected. They gave me up to three job opportunities which do not need any visa and they tell you how to get your social security number, your TIN, etc. In the beginning it was hard to get answers back because I was in another state in Australia, but the people in Canada were nice and helpful. Participating in the program helped me to think to travel more. You still have to have initiative for yourself but they will guide you to do everything. I like that someone hold your hand every day.

We're from Australia, Adelaide and we went to Canada. We chose the the All In package from Global Work & Travel because that had everything. They helped us with the insurance, job, hotel, and getting from the airport to the hospital. We haven't been here all that long but I'm happy with it.

I'm from Perth, Western Australia and I've traveled to Sun Peaks in British Columbia, Canada. I participated in the Get It All or All In program where you get 3 job offers. The team at the Global Work and Travel Company was really helpful. They helped me set up my bank account, took me to dinner and made me feel a lot better about being there. But it was just a one-time thing because I'm young and I liked the convenience of it all. But now I know that I could do it on my own and not have it as costly because there was quite a bit of inconvenience with it.

Global Work and Travel have been amazing every step of the way. They knew I didn't need help getting excited about my experience only that I needed the reassurance of support throughout the year. Getting the friendly emails regularly definitely helped me focus on why I was here especially when it came to family event like Christmas and birthdays. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far!

My Name is Erica and I am from Adelaide, Australia. A last minute decision in August saw my boyfriend and I contacting The Global Work and Travel Co, asking about travel options for a working holiday in Canada for later that year. Then, 14,000 km and 5 months later we were arriving in Vancouver on our way to the HI Hostel for 5 days. During those days we got to see the sights around Downtown and meet the lovely locals. Our orientation saw us meeting multiple other Australians in the same position as us - worried yet excited about the next couple months to come - but Global set our worries aside and helped with all the important nitty gritty processes such as helping with our bank accounts, SIN number and a Canadian sim card.

I’m from Brisbane, Australia and I'm currently in Sun Peaks in Canada. I participated in the Get It All program of Global Work & Travel’s work holiday. They were helpful in assisting me with my travel needs, like with the visa. It was good to have someone that know what you're talking about. I realized living by myself is a good one. I've never traveled before so it's good.

I had a great time whilst I was there. It didn't take me long to fall into the Africa way of life and just go with the flow. Nothing is planned and I didn't quite do what I had been informed from back home that I would be doing but that was okay. My additional feedback to Global would be to ensure that travelers are given full details before departure. I arrived in Kenya having no contact details of who was picking me up or where I would be staying and they were 1 hour late to pick me up so I had no way of contacting them. Also I recommend informing volunteers heading to Africa that although you have signed on for one thing, they will more than likely change upon your arrival (I was completely okay with this but I stayed with some other volunteers who also came through Global and this bothered them a bit). Other than that the experience was a highly memorable one that I won't be forgetting for a long time!

The Global Work and Travel Co. made my life easier to work and live in the Canadian Rockies for 7 months. Global also helped me with little things such as- picking me up from the airport and having a few days at Vancouver to look around and get over jetlag. They also put me in the right direction and helped me in obtaining a bank account with a Visa debit card and also a social insurance number. The Hi-hostel members card helped me with discounts with hostels in other cities and the Greyhound bus which saved me money which helps while travelling.

I went through the Get It All program. A friend recommended it to me. I'm from Brisbane, Australia and traveled all the way to Sun Peaks, Canada. So far everything has been fine, just being an adjustment / different side of the world.

Although I ended up getting a job opportunity when arriving in Surfers (I was put on Fraser Island), I was disappointed that I didn't get a job opportunity before leaving home which was one of the things that countless people from Global promised would happen. From what I've found there seems to be a huge disconnect from what Global promises and what their contract states. Overall I ended up having a really good experience with Global albeit after a few mistakes (I was sent to a job opportunity where the business didn't even know Global existed). In the end, global did exactly what I wanted/needed and were there to answer questions and concerns but knowing what I know now, I would most likely not go through Global again.

My experience with Global Work and Travel Company has been good. They're pretty helpful in Vancouver. They helped me get a job. I wasn't really happy with the job, though. They said you only get 3 opportunities even if you said you didn't want that job or the account, and I got a job in housekeeping and I didn't ask for that at all. I don't know if that was really what I wanted to do but it worked out. I'm happy where I am where they placed me.

The program I took part in with Global Work was called the Get It All package. Essentially, that's where they make you believe that they do everything for you and make sure everything's set up and you don't need to worry about anything. They got my flight booked and my stay in the hotel. The other communication I've had with them was when I was in Vancouver and we had a small little meeting where they told me where I can go get my bank details. Other than that, I haven't communicated too much with them since being here. I wasn't happy with my experience with them.

I have had such an amazing time already in Canada and I only arrived one month ago. My orientation in Vancouver was the perfect start to my trip, I meet fellow heaps of amazing people, organised all my paperwork and learnt about Canada and all the amazing things to see and do during my time here.

Global have been awesome in getting me set up with everything. I took a big risk by uprooting my life in Australia and moving to Canada a month ago, but GWAT have definitely looked after me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys to any of my friends in the future!

I have had such an amazing experience with The Global Work & Travel Co! My top 5 experiences about this trip would be (1) exploring Vancouver on a bike - it was so beautiful to see the city and all it has to offer whilst at the same time getting a workout, (2) visiting the Capilano suspension bridge was definitely a highlight; it was so amazing to see a suspension bridge way up in the tall forest - truly a breathtaking sight, (3) working at NiteHawk Skill Hill as a snow maker for a month before it was open was really cool. I got to drive a snowmobile for the first time, and wow, that was blast. I'd definitely recommend it anyone who's never been on one before, (4) becoming a ski instructor is one of my favorite experiences. Only having skied twice prior, I was surprised I got up to par with my skills, and what an adventure it's been so far - teaching people to ski and developing my skills as a skier at the same time is just exquisite, (5) setting up/lighting fireworks on New Year's Eve was so much fun. I've never handled fireworks before and it was just great to have a front-row seat to kick off the new year and celebrating it with wonderful people that I've met along the way in a beautiful country on the other side of the world.

My experience with The Global Work and Travel co. has been great! The Canadian office especially has been really helpful in getting me settled and comfortable. The orientation in Vancouver when I first arrived was perfect as they helped me to set up a Bank account straight away. So far the 5 most interesting things I have experienced include going to an Ice Hockey Game in Ottawa, seeing FREEZING RAIN for the first time (scary), I have learnt how to set, tune and sharpen Skis, I have also learnt how to Snowboard, and living in such a small country Canadian town that I met most of the locals in the first week. Thanks GWAT!

I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I did some solo traveling for a couple of months and now I'm working at Blue Mountain Resort. I signed up for their backpacking program. I did a few different tours. I was in Southeast Asia for a month and a half. I was on the road a lot because of the nature of the travel. I saw a lot of cool places, went to scuba dive, went to the UK for a week and a half, visited London and Edinboro, Vancouver and then I came here. This was my first time moving in a share house and that's been very interesting.

I'm from Sydney, Australia and I traveled to Canada. I paid my fees to Global Work & Travel Co. and they helped me out... how to get my visa and things like that. So they were helpful, to a point, especially if you're going to another place for the first time. But when you send them an email, they're pretty bad at getting back to you.

I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’ve gone to Sun Peaks in Canada. I went for the all-in program of The Global Work & Travel Co. I wanted to have a little escape and go around working and traveling. The program was very organized and interaction with the team was relatively clear. There was one instance where someone left the company and I wasn’t notified. I emailed them and someone else took over. After that, it ran really smoothly. I’m a seasoned traveler, but since participating in the program, I have gained the ins and outs of the Canadian scene and my working permit. I have more experiences to draw from, and embrace. Overall, the experience was easy, fast and well-organized.

Our overall experience with The Global Work & Travel Co. was okay. But I didn't enjoy the job that I got set out doing. It's the worst job I've ever done. The idea is not too bad. The job that I got was just ridiculous.

The Great Orangutan Project - Borneo. This project was the best experience, I highly recommend. The staff at the Matang Wildlife Centre are amazing. They teach you so much. Their knowledge and love for the survival of the Orangs is second to none. Working with the Orangutans and Sun Bears was UNBELIEVABLE, UNFORGETTABLE and INCREDIBLE.

I got the Get It All. It’s a great service plan. Straight A. I’m from Queensland, Australia. Went to do a stopover in LA, which was nice and then I went to Vancouver and capped the night there and then flew to Grand Prairie in Alberta. Heavy traveling in general but they helped me along the way and with getting a job. It’s been pretty good and they’ve been helpful so far.

From the very beginning GWAT proved to be extraordinarily helpful in guiding the different stages of trip planning, from the start to the day my adventure, teaching in Thailand, began. They were always available to provide valuable insight, and every representative was quite knowledgeable. Everyone at GWAT was able to fully answer any questions or address any concerns. I can honestly say that, without GWAT, I would have been completely unprepared and I am eternally grateful for all of the services and advice they provided me. Thank you GWAT for turning my dream of traveling and teaching into a reality!

I am very happy with my Global experience. It was very easy to get in contact with someone at any stage when I had questions. All the information was provided and always by someone who was very friendly and very happy to help. Global made the preparation for my working holiday a breeze. I am very thankful and would happily direct others to use their services.

I had an amazing experience volunteering in Kenya this year. My trip with Global Work and Travel was meant to be three weeks between December to January but I enjoyed spending time with the children and families so much that I ended up extending until March and have since returned privately for another four months. Thank you Global for linking me up with an amazing community and volunteering experience.

My GWAT experience has been a pleasant one. I was offered a position in Banff, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. The initial support offered in helping organize a placement was great as was the follow up. I also appreciated the support they gave me when I encountered some problems with my employer. If you have no real plan in mind & no idea where to start your adventure then I recommend the GWAT company to help you through.

I've signed up for The Global Work & Travel's working holiday program because I was already in America, so why not continue? I paid like $1500 which was a complete waste of $1500 because I realized I could have all done it myself when I got here. They promised me a lot more than what I actually got. I'm happy with the job I'm at now though because of the people around and Global Work & Travel Co. was good. It's just they promised a lot. I liked what they're saying about it but they never actually came through. I got told that I would be at a big resort. Then I could change work when I wanted. Then I ended up in Calgary. I was already traveling so I didn't need any help with my travel needs. But what I've heard from other people was that they charged about triple of what a normal slot would cost if you do it with them.

I’m from Southern Ontario. The program that Global Work & Travel Co. has that interested me the most was the African exotic as I like animals. I was there for four weeks and we would do different volunteer things during the day and different work things on the reserve. I got to hold a Meerkat. The experience I had with them makes me want to do more travelling by myself. I made a lot of good relationships with other volunteers that were there so I’ll definitely go visit other people nd make worldwide friends. It was really good.

My experience in Cambodia was excellent, I was however unhappy with how Global operates. Global's contract forced me to pay an excess of $400 for booking my own flights and insurance, rather than using their travel department. This was because the prices they were going to charge me was so above the market rate that even after paying this fee it was still cheaper for me to book my own flights and insurance. I also found out on my arrival that Global had used another agency 'Love Volunteers' who found me my placement in Cambodia. Love volunteers only charges $720 for 6 weeks and Global charged me $2,200 for 5 weeks. When I decided to extend my trip by a week I did it directly with the organization I was placed with in Cambodia (Star Kampuchea) who charge me $77 for the additional week. The company structure felt to me like it was designed to extract money from volunteers that just want to lend a hand to developing countries. I felt taken advantage of from Global and I would never use them again and have advised friends to use organizations such as Love Volunteers instead.

My experience with the Global Work & Travel Company was positive. I got my job offer quickly, had the interview, and it all went well and I got the job. The only negative would be the flawed situation since we haven’t done it ourselves. But we had to book through them for some reason and I’m certain that we’re spending more.

I participated in the Get It All program of The Global Work & Travel Co. because it seemed like the easiest option. I'm from Australia and traveled to Blue Mountain, Ontario, Canada. They gave me some job opportunities. It's a new experience. I'm living and working in a new country. Some of the people at Global are really nice but one of them was a bit of **. Overall, my experience has been decent but it needs some work.

I'm from Australia and I traveled to Whistler, Canada. What interested me most was that I'd be all set up. My experience with Global hasn't been that bad but it hasn't been great either. I said I have family in Vancouver and so my preference was Whistler, and they pretty much tried to put me off coming to Whistler and sent me a mess of email detailing all the negative aspects of Whistler. So basically I figured this pretty much on my own and I came here, and I found my own job and I found my own accommodations.

I'm from New South Wales, Australia and travelled to Ontario, Canada. I'm in the Get It All program. While everyone else is in the same situation, they were all just good for me. I get along with them all.
