We share the great moments, but also the hard parts, our mistakes and what we would do differently.
One working holiday. Two journeys. Three languages.
Australia,
as we truly experienced it.
We’re Inès and Lorenzo. We left Belgium and Italy to take on the Australian adventure. Now we share what we learned with you — honestly, personally and without the sales pitch.

Why PVT Expérience
We spent hours searching for everything online too. What we really missed was a real person to talk to.
Truly personal
We start with your plans, your budget and the questions you may not feel comfortable asking elsewhere.
Practical
We found our homes, landed our jobs and lived everyday Australian life. That is the experience we share.
Two departures, our adventure
We left to grow. Now we want to help the next person take that leap.
Charleroi → Australia
Inès Garcia Calero
I’m Inès. I have ridden horses since I was five and always dreamed of working with animals. Before choosing my studies, I needed a real-life experience. Australia’s farms taught me how to work hard, figure things out and become independent between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Italy → Australia
Lorenzo
I’m Lorenzo. Australia was my first big trip. I left alone to learn how to live far from my family and find out what I was capable of. I eventually joined Inès on the farms, where I discovered working with horses and met incredibly welcoming people. This is where I learned independence — and where we met.
How we met in Australia
Two different departures. One adventure we’re continuing together.
We each left home to learn how to live far from our families. We met in Australia, then shared farms, horses, job searches and moves between cities. That experience as a couple — the brilliant moments and the unexpected ones — is what we want to pass on.
This journey helped us grow separately, then together.Sydney · Melbourne · Brisbane · Regional farms
The real journey
Behind every photo is a job, a new person or a lesson we will never forget.
What we can talk about
From your first question to everyday life on the ground, we share our methods and practical tips.
These are conversation-based video calls: we explain what we did, show you useful resources and help you prepare your own decisions.

We explain the application stages, where to find official forms and which documents to prepare, without completing or advising on your individual application.

Compare airfares
We share our method for comparing agencies and flights, flexible dates, stopovers and luggage so you can avoid unnecessary costs.
- Comparison tools and agencies

A hostel bed can often cost around AUD 50 a night. We show you how to look for options around €20 a night when dates, location and availability allow.

- Scam warning signs
Organise your job search
We share the forums, groups, platforms and habits that helped us find work, both in cities and on farms.

Prepare for an extra year
We explain what we learned about conditions, evidence to retain and official sources to consult when considering another year.

- Evidence to keep
- Official sources
Flight and accommodation prices vary by city, season and availability. We share methods and leads, without guaranteeing a rate. For any individual visa situation, consult the Australian authorities or a registered professional.

We chose accessible prices that simply recognise the time we dedicate to your plans. Every conversation also helps us, in a small but meaningful way, fund our life on the ground, our travel and our passions during this new year in Australia.
We share our lived experience and practical information. We are not migration agents and cannot guarantee a visa, job or accommodation. For individual visa questions, we refer you to official authorities or a registered professional.
For parents too
Parents, you can ask us your questions directly too.
When we left, our families sometimes had different questions from ours. We offer a direct conversation, without an agency sales pitch, with two young people who have genuinely found housing, landed jobs and learned to live independently in Australia.
- Real budgets, housing and the first few weeks
- Safety, scams and situations to avoid
- Work, transport and everyday life
- How to support your child without limiting their independence
Ask a parent’s questionFrom 15 September 2026, we’ll reply directly from Australia, allowing for the time difference wherever we are based.
Prepare your conversation
Answers to read together before talking with us.
We have gathered the subjects that most often reassure families. These guides offer a practical starting point, then you can ask us about your child’s particular plans.
Frequently asked questions
Before the big leap.
Are you an agency?
No. We are two young travellers sharing what we genuinely experienced and learned in Australia.
Can you apply for my visa?
No. We can share our experience and official resources, but we cannot prepare or advise on an individual visa application.
Can you find me a job?
We help you prepare your search, CV and method. No job or accommodation is guaranteed.
Which language can we speak?
French with Inès, Italian with Lorenzo, and English with either of us.
When will you reply on WhatsApp?
From 15 September 2026 to September 2027, we’ll be in Australia. The time difference may delay our reply by a few hours, but we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
