“Unorganised ”

written by Bellfn8 on 02/08/2017

I went on a football coaching/playing course in Brisbane with sport lived. At least that's what I thought was happening. I got there and there was nowhere for me to play, my co-ordinator said he would 'try and find me somewhere to play' after a week of me already being there. Also they decided not to let us know that there was a $500 joining fee to play for any club.

There were also lots of false promises on their website about the kind of trips and activities you get to do, we were also sent an itinerary of these activities, hardly any of which we actually got to do. When we asked why we didn't get to do some of the activities, they then changed the online itinerary to take off some activities.

I was also told there would be a FREE travel card for me to use around Brisbane. What They didn't say, however, is that it wasn't free and I would have to top it up every 2/3 days.

There were a few other problems with the people organising the trip and aspects of the trip we were either not told about, or any issues that came. None of the people we were able to speak to were helpful.

DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH

I had an amazing time, my coaching was brilliant, my flatmates I was out with were great and we've stayed friends. Beautiful country and amazing people.

If I were you I'd go to Australia and set everything up yourself, it would be much easier (and cheaper). And you'll have a much easier time.
