So what?<\/p><p>Well if it\u2019s your first language, and this is your first real travel experience\/working holiday, it makes it a lot easier if you can ask for directions, order from a menu or more importantly, ask for a beer in your own language.<\/p><p>Going out of your comfort zone will enhance your experience but that can still be done in other ways. If this was my first working holiday, I\u2019d be a little nervous and I\u2019d pick an English speaking place over Japan for example.<\/p><p>If it\u2019s your second language, this still applies but it also forces you out of your comfort zone a little too, as well as puts an importance on using and improving your English, which will only be a huge benefit to you.

Some of these are far away and some of them are on our doorstep.<\/p><p>Due to Australia\u2019s isolated location, I\u2019m pretty confident in saying that it\u2019s pretty far away from where you are and that is a huge positive.<\/p><p>While at first it may seem scary, there\u2019s definitely something liberating about being on a sometimes seemingly impossible timezone to your family and friends.<\/p><p>I know on a personal note, being at University an hour or so away from home meant if I really needed anything, I could easily make it home. This means I always had that safety net which in some ways can be a bad thing.<\/p><p>Being on the other side of the world means you are going to have to make some snap decisions alone, which is definitely a good thing.\u00a0<\/p><h4>It has everything, it\u2019s basically a continent!<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b90b650 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"b90b650\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=V7dukhch8u0&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62fb3ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62fb3ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>So lets say that you\u2019re someone that likes everything.
