As we’re sure you’re all too familiar with already, the global issue of the Coronavirus pandemic is continuing to escalate with governments around the world taking drastic measures to limit people’s mobility and imposing self-quarantining policies.

My name is Jordan Harkin. I am just an average guy from a small village in West Yorkshire and in 2019 I decided that I would finish off my year by jetting off to Vietnam for a year to teach English. I’m not sure why I made this seemingly crazy decision, but I’m glad that I did and, in this blog, I would like to share a short story of my time in Vietnam.

We’ve all thought about it. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sang about it in the ’70s. That summer lovin’, that whirlwind romance, getting swept off your feet by a beautiful foreigner with a sexy accent. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. Who knows, you could even fall in love, get hitched and claim yourself that super coveted second passport. Not to mention having the most amazing “well how did you guys meet?” story.

Take the plunge and go on that Working Holiday!

Global Traveller Jodie. J reveals her farm work experience whilst on her working holiday in Australia to get her second year visa. 

Olivia M. recounts her unforgettable volunteering trip to Nepal on our Namaste Nepal trip. She's promised the students she taught that she’d come back to teach again next year, and she intends to keep that promise.

Coming from Australia, the Canadian snow is out of this world… and that’s not just because there’s so much of it! It’s fluffy, blindingly white and perfectly powdered – both on and off the slopes – and the first time we had snow here truly did feel like something out of a snow-globe.

We start the year so optimistic and full of hope. This year we’re going to conquer the world, kick those goals and live our best lives. But then only 20% of New Year’s resolutions are actually achieved. We want you to be your best self and get it done!
