Im moving to Canada

Ive mentioned a few times my passion for travel. ive wanted to do a working holiday for years, and have decided its time. Ill be 30 next year and have always wanted to do it before then. Ive travelled the world but never lived overseas. As an Aussie there a few easy Working Visa options, the easiest being places like Canada or the UK. Id love to actually do it in the US, but the Visa is so hard to get i cant be bothered. I have decided, as has my bf, that we are going to do a 2 year working holiday in Canada. We are still deciding which city to live in, but at this stage we are thinking Toronto, due to its close location to the East coast USA, which we want to travel around. We have already travelled West coast USA already. I know everyone says Vancouver is the best city in Canada, but its really too far away from the area i want to be. So its probably going to be a few months before it happens. And theres gunna be a lotta shit to organise to make this happen. But im determined to do it. The Visa is for 2 years. My plan is to get there, get a job soonish, but not in any rush, hopefullly a monday-friday job, so that we can travel around on weekends. Cant wait to fly off to places like New York, Chicago, Boston etc for weekends.
Well thats my exciting news for now, ill post more about it as plans develop. The main stumbling block atm is what to do with my pussy cat, i will miss him but hopefully find a friend or family member to look after him until i return

  1. Well hope you and your bf enjoy your new home for 2 years.

    Yeah with the recession going on here I doubt the U.S. is the best place to come to anyway.

    Take care and good luck with the move
