I booked the Working Holiday program with BUNAC and was quite unsure if it will meet my needs. But now I can say that is was a very good decision to book with BUNAC. From the beginning of the trip to now enjoying the first adventures here in New Zealand Sharyn helped me with literally every problem occurred. You can mail her or even call her at any time and she will try her best for you. And Lachlan is the guy who has an answer on nearly every question no matter if it's travel tips, accomodation tips or anything else. Really enjoyed the first few days here in NZ with BUNAC.

The orientation week was very useful. We got many important tips and were perfectly guided through the IRD. Sharyn prepared us perfectly and was very friendly. Even after the first week you can always turn to her, which is a very big help.

I was really scared when I first decided to make the move to NZ but the BUNAC team couldn’t have been more helpful from start to finish. The team before I left were brilliant and answered all of my silly questions without hesitation. When I arrived in New Zealand Sharyn and Lachlan were so helpful and funny and made me feel so much better about this massive decision I had made. Whether it was helping with bank accounts, IRD numbers or looking over my CV they made time for everyone and helped in any way they could. I genuinely don’t think I could have done half of this stuff without their support. I have also met such an amazing bunch of people out here and I hope we will stay in touch whilst we are all here.

I had a virtual meeting with Jessie a couple of weeks ago and she was so informative! I have been on the search for a working abroad opportunity the past few months and I have to say BUNAC has definitely been one of the more trustworthy organisations when it comes to organising your work and travel experience. I managed to see Jessie via Microsoft Teams at a time that suited me and I didn't need to wait long for the appointment availability either!

I had my first meeting with Róisín, and she was honestly so amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and gave me the reassurance that Camp USA is just what I want to do. She was very friendly and I honestly felt like I was talking to a friend. I'm already so excited for the future. Thanks again, Róisín. xx

BUNAC is the absolute best! Sharyn is wonderful and will go out of her way for anyone. She drove me to the airport to get my lost bag & went above and beyond in so many occasions. Lochlan was very helpful throughout the process. Made the move over so much easier.

My first intend to go with BUNAC was just to be lazy and on the safe side in terms of the admin stuff. But from the first (online) meeting with Sharyn Hight of the NZ programme I felt welcomed. The start of your working holiday adventure could be challenging and a lot at some point. And it turned out that to go with BUNAC was one of my better decisions! Sharyn was and still is so helpful whenever she can! I struggled a lot with my IRD on the beginning and Sharyn was "holding my hand" through this whole process. A few month later I proudly could call Sharyn my boss while I was helping her with the orientation weeks in Auckland. So I do know both sides of the coin. BUNAC is not only a company but more like a little (meanwhile bigger and steadily growing family). I met the loveliest bunch of people thanks to BUNAC and Sharyn that I can proudly call my friends. Yay for Sharyn!

I booked with BUNAC NZ and arrived in September. I was so nervous about flying all the way from the UK alone to a country I have never been too before! Sharyn Hight has been an absolute superstar. Before I left, there were email updates keeping us in the loop and zoom calls. When I arrived , Sharyn was such a support in helping me open a bank account, tax number, finding jobs and anything else I needed help with. She is always happy to help and really approachable. BUNAC has really made my New Zealand trip run smoothly!

Sharyn Hight has been invaluable to me with supporting me with peak season summer staff on the Coromandel. I know I can put all my trust in Sharyn who works tirelessly to find me the right staff. We have employed this summer alone 8 staff through Sharyn to help run our extremely busy Motel. All staff have been the right fit who are eager, hardworking, pleasant staff. Without Sharyn I personally would be needing to search and reach out by advertising for staff. It is a long process but with Sharyn who has the contacts and does the hard work for me it is a given the employees she sends me will be ideal. I could not operate fully without the full help of Sharyn. Thank you so much!
