  I went to New Zealand with L&T and it was a huge help. First, they offer very comprehensive free information sessions where you can ask all your questions without any obligation; everything is very clear! Then, they help with a lot of administrative tasks that can be time-consuming (plane tickets, bank card, SIM card, etc.) and complicated to do on your own, especially if it's your first trip. Upon arrival in the country, you're met by their counterparts with an on-site information session. You really feel supported, which is great when you arrive alone in a country you don't know! I got my SIM card right away and had an appointment at the bank to open my account; everything was very easy and saved me a lot of time. Plus, they're incredibly responsive throughout the entire trip if you have any questions or need help finding a job. I highly recommend them! ☺️

  It's been a month now since I arrived in Australia, and what an adventure it's been in just one month! I sincerely thank this agency for helping me with all the administrative details, which took a huge weight off my shoulders when I started my trip. I wholeheartedly recommend them; they provide excellent support throughout the entire journey. ☺️

  My nephew went to Australia with L&T a few years ago. He had a silly fall and ruptured his Achilles tendon. L&T was incredibly supportive and responsive: he had excellent surgery there before being repatriated. That's why, when our son decided to take a gap year after finishing high school, we naturally turned to L&T. He's now been in New Zealand for three months and is absolutely thrilled!

  Going alone to the other side of the world seemed so stressful, but in the end everything went incredibly well and I felt well supported and advised by Maelle! A life-changing experience!
