“Play, learn, and earn” is one of the most popular ways to vacation today. It’s loved not only by students but also increasingly embraced by working professionals as a means to recharge, rediscover themselves, and find a new direction in life. Since Australia opened up Working Holiday Visas for Taiwanese citizens, nearly ten thousand young Taiwanese have been drawn to the country each year for a working holiday. While not everyone can be as lucky as Ben Southall, the “best job in the world” winner who became caretaker of the Great Barrier Reef and enjoyed a AU$400,000 six-month salary.

Australia boasts abundant tourism resources, excellent living infrastructure, and high safety standards. It also includes several cities ranked among the top ten most livable in the world in 2010, such as Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide. Australia’s Working Holiday Program allows you to combine “travel, work, and short-term study” within a one-year visa. Through independent travel, you can broaden your global perspective and independence, gain deeper insight into the Australian way of life, and immerse yourself in romance, adventure, Aboriginal culture, and the untamed beauty of the outback.

The Australian Working Holiday Program can be tailored to your needs. In addition to English courses, you can choose other short-term training programs such as flying, diving, surfing, cooking, or beauty and posture skills. You can also apply for volunteer services, work in national parks to conserve wildlife, or even become a dolphin caretaker, experiencing real-life challenges and adventures.

Australia is also an adventurer’s playground. You can drive a four-wheel drive through the desert in the Northern Territory, join tours to visit every winery in the Barossa Valley of South Australia, or explore the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria by trekking through ancient rainforests. Or pick a paradise-like island to enjoy both true adventure and relaxation. There are no quotas for the Australian Working Holiday Program, and through connecting with this land, you’ll create unforgettable travel memories.
