GLOBAL WORK AND TRAVEL IS A SCAM..?

My experience using this travel company to move to the other side of the world. All my own opinions and experience only - will not be the same for everyone.

I was curious about a job that paid you to travel and Global Work and Travel was the first search result. I got a call a day later and I wasn't expecting it, lol. The guy was nice but I am always cautious so I looked up the company and here I am. I am nervous to commit because I have never been outside of the U.S., but I really want to travel before I commit to a career and "settle" down. Thank you for posting this video and giving insight! It's really helpful.

Just had my like “interview”? I guess haha and I’m really excited for what’s to come but this was great advice! Thank you!

[cuttiebabe]

Thank you so much! Ill deffinetly pay for my own flights and insurance when traveling through them! :)

I’ve just booked to going on a WHV trip to Canada for up to 2 years, I’d only heard good things about them. Was quoted £1995 then was “lucky” because there’s discounts today. £400 off! I begrudgingly paid it because I thought I’d need it… two days later they quoted me £3449 for insurance 😳 I almost passed out! I did not pay this, and will not pay this. I was also quoted £1250 for a 1 way flight so will not be paying this either! I hope I don’t have so much trouble getting a job!

I think I've made that mistake of paying for a deposit then reading all the bad reviews about this, I'm not sure what to do about it now

Huge scam! Way too overpriced for what you get. I tried getting my money back but they won't offer me a refund! Only 50% of what I paid. Definitely do not go through them

Thank you so much for this video! I’m in the process of going through them at the moment and I definitely could have done most of it myself. They’ve given me the confidence to go ahead with it and I think I’m in the same mindset as you were. Defs getting my own flights and insurance due to them totally ripping people off 😂 but using the positives that they provide too.

If youre going to be an Au Pair, def go through the site. Don't try to do it on your own. They find and verify safe families for you to work with and offer so much assistance.

I’m a bit worried. I’m landing in Brisbane airport on the 17th Jan. They’ve just told me I have a job interview an hour and a half away from Melbourne, which is an 18 hour drive from the Gold Coast where I said I wanted to be. I’m going to have to turn it down. What goes through their minds? My worst fear is being stuck jobless for a few weeks and then not being to help as I have paid quite a lot of money hoping for good service and a good outcome in terms of a job.

So they are kinda a scam because they charge way too much for little service. I personally do regret paying 2k for something that I'll never use because I did put my work holiday program on hold. Maybe someday I'll volunteer somewhere. I don't know. And I definitely hated how much I was pressured to pay in the full amount the same day, and when I say no I'll decide later the agent tells me (oh is there something I'm not explaining properly? because you're making me feel I'm doing a bad job) For fu*king sake really? They guilt you and that's evil! They also keep trying to scare me with the "there won't be enough job options left if you wait longer plus you get a $100 discount) Yeah, that threw me off with that and since I'm a passive person, unfortunately, I ended up paying in full and regretting it the next day. And yes, their target customers are young people that have some money saved up and about to make the decision by spending them just because they want to try a new experience. For me, I'm recently learning that I'm not that young (28) and I should rather save my money for something else. I'm still confused about my life, but hey! who isn't! :)

im in the process of going to Canada with them on a working holiday. I have to say they are really good but use your initiative when adding on extras. I booked my own flights and insurance for 500$ all together while they were charging me 1200$. they are very attentive and they really do keep up with you. id only go with them because they sort of help you feel more secure.

Hostel World is great. I've booked via Hostel World for hostels in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. They give you ratings and reviews, makes it so easy!

[nomadicolours]

Sounds a little Scammy. I saw other reviews and it was horrible. As a long time traveler, things you mentioned I can do on my own including getting a SIM. I am thankful for you for sharing. BUT most of what you shared sounds like a scam.

[Dayz-yldq]

tysm!! I almost bought this.gonna go a diff route, appreciate the honesty and help!!

[reyovfsunshine]

im on the site rn and its saying its $1 for me.... this has to be a scam

[ShesTheyup]

Wouldn't really call it a scam (as the clickbait title suggests) but good to watch and get your point of view non the less :)

[_crnholio_]

I’m dying to get away from the uk. I want to live and work somewhere else and was looking at global travel so thankfully I’ve found these vids lol. Italy or Canada would be ideal

[Explorewithkristy]

I’m currently booking my trip to South Korea for two years but now I’m scared after this 😂

[oxytwrn]

Next year I'm going to Canada with them for a year working holiday from the UK, and the money is what's making me cry but it'll be worth it. I'm also an anxious wreck and have a tendancy to attack bad luck, so I'm crying over the thought of not having a job before I go there. The 3 people I've talked too so far have been amazing. I was actually ment yo go this month but had to postpone it a year, and tbf they were bloody lovely with me and was zero fuss. Guess the pros weigh out the cons personally

[MrThePinkbubbles]

He was like $1995 and pay $300 now like how hilarious🤣~
The man got super mad that I said pay later. It was super funny how much he got mad. I’m just like you tell the exact details about visa and tell BS stuff on google. What a good entertainment to have during COVID listening to him. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
