    Hi Maia,
    You can “save” your visa rights for a 2nd working holiday visa for another time. Say you do your 3 months of specified work during your 1st year and return home, stay for 2 years at home and then decide that you would like to go to Australia again – then you apply for your 2nd WHV and add all documents that show that you’ve worked (payslips, contracts & agreements, bank statements etc). So yes, you can do a second holiday visa non-consecutively!

    Hi Kiki,
    Just letting you know that the following, which you are writing is inaccurate. I might be misunderstanding, what you are writing though. In any case, I thought I’d just give you a heads up 🙂
    You write: “If you received your visa on the first of February, you have until the first of February the following year to come and go.”
    – It is correct, that you can “come” until February the following year. But, your actual 1 year of visa does NOT start until you enter the country. So if you receive your visa on the first of February 2022, you can arrive in Australia latest February 2023. Say you arrive January 2023 (but got your visa granted 11 months earlier) then your visa will last you until January 2024.

      Hi Line, thanks for clarifying! I put together this guide to give folks a glimpse into what it would be like to get a working holiday visa, but would HIGHLY recommend they do further research and read up on the AUS government website – just in case I missed anything! 🙂

Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!

AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...

✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)

Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.

Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.

This might be the last car seat you’ll ever need 👇

We’ve trusted @cybex_usa since Ollie was a newborn. Through flights, road trips, and every adventure in between, @cybex_usa has been with us around the world.

As a first-time parent, I admittedly went through more car seats than needed. Now, there’s the Callisto G 360. 🙌 

It’s designed to work from newborn up to double digits, which means no more swapping seats at different stages.

This seat features 360° rotation, a one-time install, and SensorSafe alerts, making travel days and everyday drives so much easier (and safer!) 💛

From toddler to big boy, this year’s birthday gift called for something a little extra special. Something that builds confidence and a love for adventure. 

That’s why I went with the EZ Bike from @royalbabybikes. 🚲
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s designed to help little ones learn real balance with their “slide before ride” philosophy.

@royalbabybikes believes training wheels inhibit kids from learning real balance, creating a false sense of mastery whereas the EZ Bike helps kids learn proper balance faster. It starts as a balance bike so kids build confidence without relying on training wheels, and with the quick-release crank, it easily transforms into a pedal bike when they’re ready!

@royalbabybikes’ slogan “Once a RoyalRider, always a Loyal Rider” means their mission is all about inspiring kids to embrace biking and enjoy the outdoors from a young age. They’ve been Amazon’s top-selling kids’ bike brand for years, with award-winning designs built on research and development, it’s lightweight, easy to ride, and actually fun for kids to use.

Ollie was absolutely in love with his birthday gift and was off exploring within minutes — safe to say we’re officially along for the ride!
