When I hit 18, everyone encouraged me to travel before settling down with a career.
In Australia, we’ve got this great working holiday visa system.
It allows young Aussies to work in places like the UK, Europe, and Asia.
I’ve seen so many international visitors come here and do farm work in regional Australia, helping out in exchange for money.
I also had my own adventures backpacking through Southeast Asia on a tight budget.
It was such a thrilling experience!
For many of us, travel is an essential part of growing up.
It opens our eyes and prepares us for the real world.
