“For my first long-term international solo trip, Global Work & Travel has been such a reassuring asset that provided excellent support throughout the entire travel process. Without them, I would've hesitated at every step while planning my trip, questioning whether I checked every box I would need to or found the most suitable options. Their coordinators really streamlined the entire thing and set me up for success! Not only did they ensure that I followed a good time-frame to acquire all the necessary documentation, they would even arrange some of the transactions on my behalf after going over the service details and price with me, much of which I would have been poorly informed on otherwise. If you would prefer to obtain any of these things yourself, then they are more than willing to work with you. For example, you may want to secure a job and a place to stay way ahead of finalizing your trip as it was a bit nerve-racking having to wait until I was only a couple weeks out from my departure before they set up an interview. However, for me the most intimidating aspect of living abroad for an extended period is finding a reliable source of income. So I really appreciated how they work as liaisons for various businesses, though of course they can't work miracles as you'll still have to compete with other applicants. Many employers are looking to hire rather quickly and expect you to already have all that's required for you to begin working including your visa, bank account, and tax number. So GW&T gives you the best chance of landing a gig by ensuring you've covered all your bases, that you apply to opportunities relative to your experience and to companies that are familiar with hiring foreigners, and do so all on a timeline that's feasible for them to meet their workforce demands. Having put my complete trust in GW&T, it all worked out as they helped me find a real sweet position that fit my interests and came with accommodations! The initial hostel arrangement for when I first landed was also great and very convenient! They chose a clean, reputable place in a prime location and booked it alongside plenty of other travelers using their program so it was easy to make a lot of friends. Now that I've been through the planning procedure once myself, I could likely book another trip of this duration again on my own, but all the resources they provided and activities included were well worth it! I was able to learn about the culture and get a taste of what it has to offer while engaging in enjoyable experiences I likely wouldn't have bothered to organize personally. Although I can't guarantee you'll get as much as I did out of their services, I would definitely recommend them and would certainly work with them again myself!”

“There was so much support along the way but I feel like when it came to the bookings and confirmations of different things, I was a bit confused as the clarification was not always clear. But above all else, I really think Global is great for anyone new who is wanting to start solo traveling and doesn't know what that entails.”

“My whole trip has been super organised and stress free. Shona has always been available to assist at the earliest opportunity and has been so friendly and helpful. I loved the jet boat trip that I went on when I got here as it was such a cool experience. I would definitely recommend Global Work and Travel to anyone! :)”

“Caring for Kids Cape Town has been an incredible experience! My Travel Coordinator has been amazing working with me when I had personal issues that meant I had to change my trip. They kept in touch with me whilst I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. They were also great at communicating changes to my flights as they happened.”

“When I first booked this trip back in 2022 I was speaking to one of the coordinators who I told I wanted to work in the Toronto area. After paying the full balance at the start of 2024 I was told they don't do jobs in big cities which was a little bit of a disappointment to hear. After paying I was greeted by my trip coordinator Tia who is absolutely amazing! I can't thank her enough for helping me through this experience and also the friendly advice when I needed someone to talk too. She has made my experience with global and travel. Very helpful and went above and beyond!”

“With this being my first trip away from home I was a bit nervous about it all, but everything was so easy going through global work and travel. They made sure all the necessary documentation was done, found me a job with accommodation, and answered all my questions I had along the way. They made it a stress free process and would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of travelling, especially for the first time.”
