Job Search & Bar Crawl

Today you’ll get a rundown of different work opportunities and also learn about how to explore magnificent Australia. This will be done both in a group and one-on-one, so you’ll get all your questions answered.Then kick-back by heading out on the town for Melbourne’s biggest bar crawl! Pizza and four drinks are included.

I wanted to travel to Australia but I was hesitant to go by myself. Stepabroad made it easier; setting me up with a tax file number, bank account and prepping my resume! When I arrived they had activities planned to help you see the city with a group. I recommend traveling with Stepabroad for extra help with living in Australia and to meet fun groups of people!

As soon as I discovered Stepabroad it was exactly what I was looking for! Problem solved – get a visa, buy a ticket and let the staff take care of the rest. I wanted to feel safe and look back upon my time in Australia as a great adventure …

… Deciding to leave home was the scary thing and actually doing it was the scariest but you need to do things in life that scare you, and I was so lucky to have Stepabroad along the way if I ever needed something! (And believe me, I did lol) there is so much to see in this crazy beautiful world and I’m happy to say I’m lost in the right direction!
