The Letz Live Story

Letz Live has a passion for travel and a dedication towards a positive social impact. And the way we see it, there’s no better way to see the world and make a difference than by diving head-first into the local culture!

It all started in 2005 when our founder returned home to Australia from a year-long stint working as a gap year assistant in an international boarding school in England. Hungry to get the next generation of youngsters to jump ship and experience life beyond Oz, he planted the Letz Live seed whilst juggling a University degree – all at the spritely age of 18.

Fast forward, almost two decades on and Letz Live has become a worldwide leader in overseas opportunities for young people offering Gap Year and Working Holidays across Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Letz Live Team

We are a team of young, passionate and knowledgeable individuals, bitten by the travel bug during our time living and working overseas, but who understand the pressures that follow leaving high school or university and locking in potential tertiary studies or career ambitions.

Over the years our team has expanded across the globe with country managers in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Although our team might be on the other side of the world, we are all close friends, and our in country managers will check-in with you throughout your placement both virtually and in person so you never feel alone.

A holistic approach

We know how valuable it is to travel with a group — building friendships, connections, and lifelong memories along the way. That’s why we believe your energy should be focused on the experience, not the paperwork.

We help take the stress out of your travels by guiding you through important steps like booking flights, arranging insurance, and navigating visa requirements.

You can take comfort in knowing that once you land, you’ll be welcomed by your hosts — and with our support along the way, you’ll feel confident and prepared for the journey ahead.

Our global aim

We are committed to making a positive social impact by offering unique Gap Year programmes that allow those with big hearts and positive attitudes to contribute their skills and expertise to schools and students abroad.

Combining work and travel the Letz Live programme can nurture cultural empathy, establish an individual’s independence and contribute to positive life decisions in both career choice and wider community engagement.

Each Letz Live programme can add the sort of depth to your overseas experience that seeing the tourist sights simply cannot.

Your opportunities are as varied as they are unique, with placements available in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Thailand, the United States and the United Kingdom. Wherever it is you go, Letz Live will be there to help you every step of the way.
