So, has anyone actually managed to survive the whole ITCE Work and Travel experience without resorting to extreme caffeine dependency or spontaneously developing a talent for haggling with airport security? I'm debating whether this gig is just a clever ruse to have you work for free while collecting enough stamps in your passport to make an amateur collector envious, or if there’s a hidden secret bonus like unlimited free coffee and existential crisis-free days.
I've heard whispers that the program lets you explore exotic locales while working a job that might just be a front for endless bureaucratic paperwork and awkward encounters with local wildlife. Is it really all that exciting—embracing your inner digital nomad with questionable Wi-Fi—or is it more like getting lost in an IKEA without the existential dread of having to assemble furniture alone in the dark?
Would love to hear from seasoned travelers who’ve mastered the art of surviving on a shoestring budget, dodging mediocre office chairs, and finding humor in the chaos. Any tips on how not to end up as a meme titled “When Work and Travel Go Horribly Wrong”?
