Hey James,

Superb story… travelling for 10 years… sounds great.

I was actually meant to have my first surfing lesson a few weeks ago, but the surf was flat… so disappointed, had to settle for an ice-cream on the beach instead.

Anyway, pleased everyone survived none the worse for the half sunk boat and thanks for getting in touch.

Sam.

Wow James, sounds like you are really making the most of life good on you!!

I travelled in 2007 for 3 months, to S.Africa, NZ, Fiji and Thailand, and loved every minute. Now myself and a friend have just begun looking into working abroad for a year, we work in hotels so shouldn’t be too hard to find a job. We are thinking of USA but it looks quite tricky to get a Visa sorted, so now I am thinking Aus maybe a lot easier. If anyone has any idea’s or advice it would be much appreciated, ta!

[…] got that ticket, I found out about STA Travel Buzz and the wonderful Cam who set me up as one of her STA Explorers. Before I headed to Australia I managed to sort out an Australian bank account and tax number, […]

Im off to aussie in march the 2nd. Going to work in sydney for a while and around Australia. If anyone can help out with work in the sydney area or wollongong area. Please let me know. Cant wait to go back. Im also going to new zealand in August and then LA in September.

Sounds awesome David. What sort of work are you looking for? I’m sure a few of our Explorers could give you some tips.

Did you fancy getting involved with the STA Explorer programme?

Cam

Hi!

I’m 21 and in my 2nd year at uni. The only place I have ever been abroad is Ypres in Belgium. I would love to go away this summer as I receive a £1000 scholarship. I really want to travel but don’t know where to start!

Hey Amy, with that money you should DEFINITELY jet off somewhere!

Are you looking to travel with a friend, or alone? We have many STA Explorers who could answer any queries you have

Cam

Hey everyone,
I think I should make the most of my summer holidays and lack of responsibility this year so am considering Thailand / Malaysia for 5 weeks or so. I will probably be travelling alone and am 28- would I be one of the oldest?! Has anyone done any of the “big adventures”? I would love to hear what you thought of it.

Hey does anyone know how I find who else is going on the same trip as me? x

Hi Sophie,

Where you off to and when? If you’d rather put this info in an email, send it to Fran at… Francisco@statravelbuzz.co.uk

Cheers

S.

Hi Sam

I’m going to India on the uncover india trip

Thanks

Cheers Sophie,

Fran is sending you an email!

We probably can’t find out who’ll be on the trip with you, but we can certainly get you along to one of our meet-ups where you can speak to some of our Explorers. They’ll be able to give you advice regarding meeting people while travelling.

Sam.
