Thoughts before WHV Part 1

Personal Questions & Doubts

When I spontaneously signed up to join the applicant pool, I wasn't primarily concerned with possible areas of work, visas, or starting locations, but with something more fundamental: personal questions that affected my immediate environment and my immediate life.

Can I muster the courage to leave everything familiar behind, even if it means starting from scratch?

Perhaps this journey is the door opener to something you have wanted for a long time – and the courage you need to finally make it happen. The people who really like you will support you – and rejoice with you. And if some react with doubts, that's okay too. Sometimes it is precisely these perspectives that help you see things from a different angle.

Why do I want to do it in the first place?

Is it the desire for adventure? Or the urge to get out of my comfort zone? Maybe both. What exactly is it that motivates me? Are they strong enough to keep my motivation up when things get tough?

 Can I even afford it?

The classic question that comes up first. You'll be thinking about this until you leave and beyond. Maybe it's a good opportunity to learn how to achieve a lot with little.

What if I don't get a WHV visa?

If it doesn't work out, I still have a plan B. First and foremost, focus on the main goal anyway. Things don't always work out the way you want them to, so trust the process.

 And you?

Which of these questions have you asked yourself? Is there one that particularly concerns you?
