PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Start a one-month stay in Noosa, Australia, with its vast, endless beaches!
Famous for its world-class surfing spots, Noosa is one of Australia’s most beautiful vacation destinations. Enjoy sunbathing on pristine white sands and surf the amazing waves while taking advantage of a relaxed lifestyle. It will be a time to recharge with new energy.
Wherever you set foot, beautiful beaches stretch out before you, and you can meet people always smiling with happiness! Located on the east coast of Australia, Noosa is a vacation spot loved by both locals and travelers from around the world thanks to its mild weather, pleasant water temperatures, and clean, clear sea.
Enjoy water sports to your heart's content in the vast sea, or relax quietly on the soft, warm sand to rejuvenate your weary soul in your own way. Taking a break from your demanding daily routine in Noosa could bring relaxation and happiness back into your life.
Noosa's beaches are renowned for their good waves. Especially the beaches near Noosa National Park have smaller waves, making it a great place for beginners to learn surfing. You can easily find people enjoying surfing at many of Noosa’s beaches, such as Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay, and Little Cove.
Dive into Noosa's beautiful waters! In the mornings, attend English classes with friends, and in the afternoons, enjoy the hot sun and cool sea while learning to surf. Learning to surf in English will help you improve both your surfing and English skills more quickly. Experience the double benefit of having fun while studying in Noosa.
If you're preparing for a new turning point in your life with an Australian working holiday, consider using your time in Noosa as a starting point. Compared to other Australian cities, Noosa has lower living costs and is a great place to find various jobs, making it an ideal city to start a working holiday.
From a minimum of 1 week to a maximum of 4 weeks, you can learn English, make new friends, and adapt to life in Australia. Most importantly, local language schools assist students in finding jobs, so after this project, you may find it easier to settle down. And, you can gain the confidence to move to other cities beyond Noosa!
* If you want to spend a working holiday, you need to prepare an Australian working holiday visa in advance.
