When I went there were no background checks or hidden fees- just what the website said.

Hey I stumbled upon your blog and love it, it’s so helpful! I’m looking into going to Ireland through Bunac, and was wondering what else is needed of the application? I saw the online one, and it seems too simple. Is there more to it, like background checks, any hidden fees, etc?

I’ve thought about the NZ and OZ ones myself. It’s nice to have them as options.

My sister did this program and had a positive experience. There’s also the programs in NZ and Australia, which I believe cap the age at 30.

I’ve just been approved for my working holiday visa NZ and was deciding between joining the bunac program or just winging it and finding a job on my own, any advice? It seems like the popular hostels have tons of job listings posted and it shouldnt be hard but again i’ve never traveled abroad before! lol

Yes I lived in England/London…and yes I sometimes miss living with those crazy Aussies. That’s an experience in itself. Loved your part 2 as well…I definitely RT it! I feel like we had the exact same experience. Thank you for writing about this!

Yes I know the England one at least requires this. I’m pretty sure Australia and NZ are available to anyone under 35 though.

I heard about BUNAC a few months ago and was really interested, but found that most of the programs required you to either still be in school or be no more than a year out of college. I didn’t find out about these until I was 2 years out of school, so I’m not able to do it…big bummer

Some of my friends have taught English abroad and really enjoyed it. It’s a good way to make some money and live somewhere totally different.

Awesome! – are you familiar with TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) programs?
Opportunities exist all over globe, and cost for program is minimal – some positions will reimburse for cost to get you there
check volunteer tourism category on blog http://www.easytravelpad.com – really cool stuff!

I did this exact same thing and just got back in July!!! I know exactly how you feel. I lived with 7 Aussies and 1 Kiwi and I remember feeling the same way about the BUNAC get togethers. Its nice to hear someone elses experiences with it. Excited to read part 2!
