Backpacking Australia on a 417 Working Holiday Visa

BRITstralian ®

Jessica Ollerenshaw is a university graduate from Rugeley in the West Midlands who shares her experiences whilst backpacking down under.

The 23 year old took a trip to Australia on a 417 Working Holiday Maker Visa in 2022 after completing a Sports Management degree at Manchester Metropolitan University and struggling to afford her bills as a restaurant manager in Manchester.

As part of her backpacking experience, Jessica has traded in the
comforts of her previous 9 to 5 to work on a farm amongst dangerous snakes in the gruelling Queensland heat.
