Australia WHV Advice
I am 22 years old and graduating university in Canada at the end of this year. I am looking to travel to Australia in January 2026 and work a part time job throughout my stay there. I have worked in restaurants for 5+ years and have lots of experience. I would be more than happy to work in a cafe, restaurant or bartending job.
I am interested in living a temporary "new life" for a few months and to test my social skills in a new place. I would like to join a gym, go to the beach, hikes and meet new people.
I am wondering where in Australia I should go? I would ideally like to live in a city and somewhere that has a good social/nightlife vibe. Additionally, depending on the city I am wondering how difficult it would be to find a job and place to live for 6 months?
I will also be travelling solo so wondering if anybody has experience on how to meet people and develop a social circle in my time there.
I have roughly $8000 CAD saved up, but would ideally use the part-time job to fund my expenses.
If anybody has advice it would be greatly appreciated!
