How It All Started

Saturday, December 27, 2008

It has always been my dream to live and experience other countries. My first taste of it was in Australia, where I worked in Sydney for a year and I also travelled frequently to New Zealand.  My initial plan was to work in New Zealand, as I have obtained a working holiday visa. I resigned from my job and received an offer to work in Australia instead, which I snapped up without a doubt. I was in Sydney for a year with my then girlfriend. Then, we returned home.

Wanting more, I researched for other options. For my nationality, UK is the other and only option. We applied for the UK working holiday visa and as there was no guarantee or indication of visa processing time, I found a job. It was a nice job in a multinational with the biggest package I've had. Not long after, my UK visa was issued. I was in a dilemma. Cushy job or backpacking?
