Q: Can you give 3 tips for young people who wish to visit the working holiday destination of your choice?
A:
1)
Don't be scared and afraid of communicating with others. English is our second language. However, just try to speak and try to communicate with others. If you never speak out, you will never improve.
2)
Plan before you act.
3)
Enjoy that moment. Don't think too much about future. Just enjoy what you have now.
