FAQs

Bangkok: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.

Included Experience

  • Moalboal: Enjoy lunch with your crew as you try all the quintessential Filipino dishes at this local spot.
  • Moalboal: This renowned church is famous for its remarkable architecture. But it's also rumoured to have healing powers! You'll have some time to take a leisurely stroll through this grand church and delve into the fascinating stories it holds.
  • Moalboal: Dip your toes (and take those photo dump snaps) in the cool blue waters of some of the BEST tropical waterfalls you'll ever see . You'll also have the chance to swim and trek around.
  • Moalboal: Put on your snorkelling gear and get ready to witness an ultra rare phenomenon. You'll have the chance to see the incredible spectacle of hundreds (if not thousands) of sardines gathering 'round in the clear blue water. Plus, we'll visit even more white-sand spots like Pescador Island, Panagsama Beach.
  • Bohol: Nope, those ain't stars you're seeing. Tonight, we'll jump on a boat and float through the river to see the mesmerising sight of fireflies lighting up the Mother Tree. (You really would not believe your eyes...)
  • Bohol: Hop on for a Tuk Tuk ride & feel the refreshing breeze on your face as we hit the countryside of Bohol for a full day tour, passing by Mahogany forests, hanging bridges and landscapes so tranquil, you'll probably find inner peace.
  • Bohol: Check out one of Bohol's most iconic attractions - the perfectly-domed landscape of the Chocolate Hills. (Just try to not lick your screen when you're taking pics...)
  • Bohol: Come see the world's smallest primates in their natural habitat. The tarsiers here are taken care of by experts, and the sanctuary even has a research centre that works towards improving the life of these endangered creatures. It's an...eye-widening experience.
  • Bohol: Welcome to 'The FRMCY'. Here, you'll get to try the freshest farm-to-table lunch, made with ingredients grown on site, or in villages nearby. Expect different flavours with every course alongside a spread of juices and teas. Yum!
  • Panglao: Get ready for magical encounters with sealife (think: corals, fishes, dolphins) as we jump on a boat trip to visit Virgin Island & Pamilacan Island for snorkelling & sunsets.
  • Boracay: Ride in style as we hit the skies for a quick transfer to another incredible island - Boracay.
  • Boracay: Grab your swimsuits for a full day of island hopping! We'll visit the oh-so-picturesque Puka Beach, and Magic Island and even Crystal Cove Island. A little bit of snorkelling. A little bit of relaxation and whole lotta fun.

Are flights & insurance included?

While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

This the default question

it should be visible inside every trip page

Why should I book now?

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend or partner?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

Can I bring my pet along?

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
