International Working Holidays

One of the biggest things I loved about going through International Working Holidays is not only do they have so many opportunities and projects to choose from, whatever you choose they are there to help you every step of the way. I chose the Big 5 Conservation Research at Welgevonden Reserve and IWH sorted out everything for my trip over to South Africa. For me this was a major help as I have very bad anxiety and the thought of figuring all this out of my own when Ive only travelled solo once before, scared me more than they actual trip. IWH helped me with me flights, insurance and were more than happy to answer the countless questions I had for them. I felt safe in their hands and trusted that my trip was going to be smooth. I also loved that prior to my trip they checked in on me countless times whether it was with additional information for me or to simply ask how I was feeling about it all. The whole team was incredibly friendly and approachable and I would hands down go with them again for another project. I would also highly recommend them if its your first time going overseas by yourself, or if your not the most confident at organising all those pesky details and documents that come with travel, just as I am. I had the best time going to Welgevonden and it wouldnt have been possible without their help. Doing conservation with endangered species had been a dream on mine since I was a child so thank you International Working Holidays for making this dream of mine possible. Tn koutou katou! Nga mihi.

International Working Holiday (IWH) were so helpful with the application process. They made it so easy and the process was straightforward. The communication channels were open, and didnt take long for them to reply, be it email or phone calls. This was my first work and travel programme so I was quite anxious and had a lot of questions. They were never far away, and answered all the questions I had, which was really reassuring for me. During my programme in U.S.A they kept in contact to check up on me, and were always available if I had questions. Overall my experience with IWH was pleasant, and so too was my placement in U.S.A. I would definitely do another programme with IWH, and would recommend IWH to anyone!

I've had the pleasure to work with IWH not only once but twice! I am very thankful for the supportive team at IWH who helped me gain employment at the Broadmoor for 2022, and again for Sea Island 2023! In my experience I've found the team easy to reach out to and always very informative and supportive. Special shout out to Jade and Shelby for always being there to answer questions I have promptly and efficiently. Everyone has always felt more like friends rather than strangers. I would definitely recommend IWH to anyone wanting to do an overseas exchange, without a doubt you will have a supportive, friendly, pleasant and efficient team by your side! Thank you to the team at IWH

I recently volunteered for 3 weeks in South Africa and it was truly one of the best experiences ever and I wish that I had stayed longer! The things I saw and the people I met, I will never forget! The ladies at IWH who helped me to make this trip happen are really amazing and so helpful, I highly recommend them! If you are thinking about doing a trip, I say just go for it, it was one of the best decisions Ive made feel free to message me on insta: mika.hannah

My volunteering experience through IWH has without a doubt been the best experience of my life and helped me move into my dream career. The girls have always been so quick to communicate and provide me with any information or assistance needed. I always thought going on such big adventures would be very complicated but the IWH crew have made everything incredibly easy and possible for me. The team has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, forever grateful!
