llooking for travel buddy on a working holiday

[orangefish17]

Hi there! I'm leaving for auckland nx week on da 17th mar, and then head towards tauranga to see if i can find and secure any seasonal job. If possible to get a job, I suppose the min commitment would be around 6-8 weeks? And then after that I'll start touring NZ via Straytravel hop on hop off bus. Anybody along this line of planning too? Do whatsapp me nine2203697 Cheers

For those who travel alone don't worry too much, there are heaps of nice people in NZ. Its better to go there and look for some mates who are heading the same direction and then you guys will be bond by the same interest. And if you not comfortable with them you can always find excuse to leave the group. But if you already have a travel buddy with you and you guys have an disagreement along the way then things will get ugly.

Anyway backpacking is to meet new people and do the stuff that you will never get to do in SG like hitch hiking, picking fruits.

I've done my working holiday 2014 and i like it so much that i have decided to stay on in NZ

very easy to get visa. they will most likely approve within 48 hours.

For job wise you will have to match the seasons, winter and spring not so much jobs and so many people will be fighting. The best season to come over here is November i guess. There are heaps of advice on the internet, but many of them are in Chinese because mostly is the Malaysian or the Taiwanese sharing the info.

good luck mate

The whole North Island suffering from gales and rain and wellington flooded.

Now is winter all the wild weather is here... but Auckland not as cold.. for me I don't feel that cold and wear t-shirt and jean walking around but I think for singaporean should feel the cold but not that super cold.

Also Auckland now under housing bubble due to real shortage..
More living in cars as rents go through roof

 

[yoheyhi]

Gosh, thanks for the reply. Now im hesitating...
The airticket are not cheap either, should have book it eariler on.

Cold.. Usually I'll wear long john during that period, in addition to a fleece rain jacket.

Hi, I am interested! When are you planning to go?

 

[camerah]

Envious! Too bad i am graduating from an australian uni. So I can't apply for the working holiday

Just came back from south island a week ago! Really love new zealand! Everything is so chill there.

Hi all,

I am going on the work holiday to New Zealand in October 2015 until March 2016 and will be landing in Auckland. I am interested in working at the farms, fruit picking or even the packing stuff (keeping my options open). Activities I am interested in are hiking trails and sight seeing.

If anyone is travelling during the same period you can reach me. Perhaps we can discuss our travel plans.
