  • Hey so as many of you know I went through the travel company Global Work and Travel and had a terrible experience, I wanted to share my story as to why you should NEVER go through with them.

    Girl Ty for posting this video!! This is the best honest review I’ve seen. I’m also a kiwi, bought the London working holiday when I was 20. Got sold it over the phone, almost pressured to pay for it instantly because of the discount. Covid happened a month after paying for it and I tried to get out of it but they get you with the lifetime guarantee. It’s been on hold for 3 years now. I’ve seen so much bad stuff come out from the company, spent so many hours going back and forth with them and hate each outcome they give me. It’s put me off going on this trip but they have 4.5k of my hard earned money and I don’t know what to do 😭

    Glad I am watching this I literally got suspicious of the company just from their lack of knowledge on the phone just a minute ago and I was getting red flags so started googling reviews and came past your video.
    I am definitely staying away

    BEWARE! UK immigration has been raiding hostels and hotels and universities in London. Volunteering or working without the right visa and sponser (which most will not pay) is illegal! So is remote working or promoting your channel! My daughter is a US citizen who is awaiting deportation at a horrible removal prison called Yarls Wood. She committed no crime. They can hold you indefiniately, no court, no appeal, and the embassy cant engage. Please I urge you to check carefully with new immigration law. Please say a prayer for the safe return of my daughter.

    Thanks Sarah. I was considering them, but it sounds like they take advantage of first time overseas travelers, luring you in at half of what real tours cost then leave you to twist in the wind. How long were you there? The entire two years?Travel insurance is always optional but they must get a kickback.

    OMG, I am so sorry this happened to you. BUT THANK you for sharing Sarah! Hope you did not let it go! Report them to authorities. You seem better for the experience and consider it an investment, But also let us know you got your money back please. Sorry again, There is no bridge to burn here. What a Scam!.
    I am older and traveling the world so I know the in and outs of traveling but want to go make use of my English Certification. It's hard finding something that works for me.

    Question- let’s say gw&t have changed the type of job that was designed for the trip (initially it was a creative media job now for some reason they changed it to teaching assistant job 😒, f### them kids!) can I quit if i manage to find my own job and stray away?

    I am planning on doing a working holiday visa in Australia and was going to go with Globalworks but how hard do you think it would be if i were to jut go through this whole process myself? Is there anything they helped with such as tax forms, etc?

    • @sarahsays870
      @sarahsays870  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      it is a lot easier than you may think, I will be making more videos on how people can move abroad alone, but I wouldn't recommend global work and travel as they don't help with much.

      @@kaylakristinev it is a scam everything in this video is fact I seriously recommend just applying for a work and holiday visa on your own and going like that they jobs they do offer are across the country like I am in Gold Coast and they offered me a job in Perth then get mad when you don’t take the job if they can speak French they will be fine to find a job on there own and create your own footing most jobs are completely understanding and will help you gain a footing in the new country you are in you literally have to pay for everything along with the 2500 to basically have them do nothing I shouldn’t have paid when I watched this video but did anyway because fuck it instead of paying maybe 3000 total for everything I spent around 6500 with them included strongly strongly advise again this
