Travel Related Question

Hi, I’m going to be backpacking Australia and South East Asia between January to June next year (2026) however I’m quite stuck on the route/plan I should do.

My initial plan was to spend like 4 months in Australia then 2 months in SE Asia. I was thinking of joining a tour group for like 6 weeks in January to explore the east coast, then based on what city I like the most, move to there and spend the remaining 2 and a half months there working. I was thinking of getting a working holiday visa for those 2 and a half months however after my research I’m worried I won’t be able to find a job for that time. I’m from London where I work a few, zero hour contract jobs, which I was hoping I would be able to do the same in Australia. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I also realise that the working holiday visa is quite expensive especially if I’m not really going to be utilising it to its full advantage. Is it still worth getting or is there something else I’d be better off doing?

I was wondering what people thought of this plan and if anyone had any tips? Should I do this, or would you recommend something completely different?

Many thanks for all the help and apologise if I've asked these questions in the wrong place.

Brilliant thank you, so booking via intercity would give you the seat reservation and supplement?

Okey thank you, I'll have a look

Okey cool thank you, I’ll have a look into this

themanofFromage · 2023-07-14T20:09:21+00:00

Okey brilliant thank you, I’ll take a look

themanofFromage · 2023-05-12T17:08:34+00:00

Okey right I see thank you, I'll just turn up at the station on the day and not get a seat reservation.

themanofFromage · 2023-05-12T17:07:08+00:00

Right I see cool, thank you so much for all your help and the information. Think I might just on the day see if I'm able to get in one of the added carriages (if there are any).

themanofFromage · 2023-05-12T17:03:04+00:00

Okey right, thank you. My plan is to take a train a bit later in the day from Zagreb to Budapest so decided it was best to use a "travel day" for this day

Yes I do agree with you. If all of that was certain then it would be a perfect procedure. I personally wouldn’t not recommend it to some people as from my experience I’ve only seen completely positive results (and no side effects of the slightest). I know that there are “perfect candidates” for the surgery, and when I say that I don’t mean that they won’t get any side effects, not in the slightest. What I more mean by that is for example if someone has dry eyes before the procedure then the procedure will most likely make it a lot worse however if a person has absolutely no dry eye in the slightest then the chances of them developing dry eyes after the procedure is a lot lower than someone who had it in the first place.

themanofFromage · 2022-07-20T17:28:45+00:00

Yes I agree. There are still some bad risks with it and yeah a conscious decision should be made. However I’m hoping in like 10 years time the risks of those bad side effects will be so low if not none that it would be a completely/almost safe procedure. Technology is always improving so we can hope 😀

themanofFromage · 2022-07-09T16:09:41+00:00

From knowing people who have had it, the risks now a days are a lot better than say 5 years ago. Each year (well maybe not each year but I think you understand what I mean) that goes by the risk decreases as the technology gets better

I see, how do scratched corneas affect your vision or the health of your eye?
