Think you can’t afford to spend the summer abroad? Think again.
Let’s face it. Those spontaneous summers of yesteryear – skipping around the world with nothing to care about other than beach hair – have got harder to justify. Rising flight, accommodation and food prices have meant that if you want to go away for more than just a two-week jolly – you’ll most likely need to work while you do it.     With a job, salary, meals and accommodation included – summer camp in America is one of the most affordable ways to live abroad and travel at the moment. Coupled with the fact that you get to live with other 18-30 year olds, in epic wilderness-y locations, getting paid to do what you love – it's a win for your wanderlust and your wallet. Here’s the need to know.

Top things to do and see in Sydney
Whether you want stylish or surfy – or somewhere in between, Sydney is a city that seemingly has it all. With a surf-before-work and party-after-work lifestyle – with weekends reserved for farmers’ markets, long brunches and trips to wineries/beaches/mountains (insert pretty much any other option here) – Sydney defines the ultimate work life balance.
Top beaches in Australia
Take it from someone who knows. In this case, our Head of Sales, Ella. Before working at BUNAC, Ella travelled with us on our Work Australia  program. What can we say, we obviously made a good impression. Spending two years working Down Under (which adds up to A LOT of beaches), here are some lesser-known sands to hit up on your Aussie adventure.
