For Young Australians
Second Edition
Many young Australians and New Zealanders choose to head off overseas on a working holiday before they settle down. The chosen base for such an adventure is often the UK, or more specifically, London. Whether you are just dreaming about going or whether you are packed and ready, there are questions you'll want answered - when should I go? How am I going to travel there? What work is available to me? Where and how will I find a place to live? What kind of lifestyle can I expect?
This revised version of 'Live, Work and Play in London and the UK' helps to answer these questions. You'll find tips on budgeting, packing, temporary and permanent accommodation and even a checklist in the pre-planning section. There are lists of employment agencies and their contact details as well as information on the various occupations available to working holidaymakers, describing both what to expect and how to go about setting up a temporary existence.
Hints on travelling around the country are also given, plus a wealth of information on the UK itself. Travel agents, tour companies - everything you need to know about living, working and playing in the UK - all in one concise, easy-to-use travel guide. Completely updated, with more maps and a handy check-list, this new edition includes current data on the new EU regulations and visas. There are also plenty of other hints and pertinent information to help you ease into a life abroad.
