Alliance Abroad

The adventure bug was starting to itch more and more after a couple of mediocre years back in the States. I was looking to go on my first big international trip as I started to realized I wasn't getting any younger and the timing was either now or never.The idea of working abroad wasn't really much of thought, until I started to do research on some on some of the best ways to completely immerse yourself inside a country's culture. 

What inspired you to travel abroad?

I was chatting with a friend through playing ultimate frisbee together and she told me there was an opportunity to get involved with a fun and exciting job to do with travel, working abroad, and networking with people all around Australia – I jumped at the chance! I loved being a participant and working in Co-operative Education back home in Canada, and thought that this was a fantastic opportunity to also encourage others to broaden their skill set while working and living like a local abroad.

The reason why I choose to work abroad is because I wanted to see the world while working at the same time. I had just graduated from The Arts Institute of Las Vegas and my lease was up, so I took it as a sign. Plus, I was that person who was always spontaneous, if I could move to Las Vegas not knowing anyone, then that means I could do the same in another country. I also wanted to work abroad because I knew that it would look awesome on my resume and would give me that extra advantage on my competitors. But bottom line, I didn’t want to be stuck in the USA bubble and wanted to see the world.
