Exclamation 19yr old wondering best place to move to?

Anyone have any ideas?
I was looking in to Gibraltar but got put off that place from bad reviews.

I no theres always going to be something about somewhere thats bad.
Im just looking for abit of life experience. I want some independence, move somewhere thats hot, sunny and just a fun place to be to meet new people.
My plan would be to move there for a good year-2 years and i will be moving on my own.

Any ideas of best place for me?

Thanks in advance.

You can't just move to Australia because you like the sound of it.
Start with www.immi.gov.au and see if you are eligible for a visa.

WHV - might just be the ticket.

If you just want to do work like bars and waitressing then why not try Ibiza, close to home, cheap flights, and plenty of English speakers as well as people.
As for Aussie, if I were 19 and coming on my own (not that you said you were), I would head to Sydney or Surfers.

At 19 you will have no problem getting into Sydney on a short term working holiday visa. Sydney is the place to go if you actually want to spend a useful few years but if you just want to bum around i would suggest further north like the gold coast, surfers or even cairns. If you make it to Sydney then you are more than welcome to have a beer with us on a thursday night - you will find our meet details somewhere on this site

I think its fabulous that you have the 'get up and go' to travel on your own.

Save up some cash, get a WHV and go for it girl, you only get one life and that soon can change when you settle down and it isnt so easy to go off on a whim.

Good luck, hope you have a great time wherever you go.

Get the 18 month working permit, it's easy, just to see if you like it.

Also pick up a copy of the lonely planet as well, you'll meet loads of people doing the same thing, of your age, by stoping at the recommended hostels. Great fun.
