“My gap year with Sports Lived”

written by Rayk489 on 01/10/2016

My gap year with Sports Lived was one of the best experiences of my life. The great service started from the UK the idea of a gap year in Australia was just getting itself into the pipe line. Staff members would give you heaps of help and the low down on all their programmes and destinations so you could make the right choice for yourself. I chose to have my gap year in Brisbane Australia. When arriving at Brisbane Airport I already felt welcome from sports lived staff members greeting me and waiting to take me to my accommodation. Choosing premium accommodation was certainly the correct choice, living in a luxury flat right in the heart of central Brisbane where everything is just a stone throws away. Starting at the sports club I was made to feel very welcome. I enjoyed a great season of Rugby playing for the top team. However one thing I would say before coming out many people were not made aware of the depth of teams they had at UQ Rugby Club and I think people were unlucky to miss out on playing a high level if that's what they came here to do. Saying this going to Brisbane gives the opportunity to train at the UQ Rugby Academy so even if you are not in a high team you'll still be training at a high level with some of UQ 1st team and even some Queensland Reds. Something I really liked was the amount of support given to you from staff members here in Brisbane. You were made to feel at ease which meant you did not feel uncomfortable asking for help or guidance. Overall Sports Lived allowed me to have a fantastic sporting gap year and thanks to them I have chosen to stay here past the ending of my programme and will be studying here in Brisbane. Thank you Sports lived for an incredible experience.
