Having Trouble with Flight Reservation to Apply for Visa? 

This is a wonderful solution:

Rent forward flight tickets with FlyOnward 

FlyOnward is an exclusive Flight Ticket Rental Service. It provides you with international flight tickets (travel itineraries) with your name on them to use as proof of onward travel plans when you travel abroad.

Why? Because in many countries around the world, you will not be allowed to enter as a tourist without proof of onward travel. Put simply, if you have a one-way ticket and no proof of future plans, you can be refused entry. This service gives you proof of onward travel, without the hassle of paying for expensive airfares upfront. You simply “rent” the ticket for a small fee.

This website is developed and operated by a digital nomad who has been traveling around the world for years. He has experienced the hassle of onward ticket rules and wasting money on tickets that you never actually use. Fly Onward’s ticket service is provided by an air travel agency who is legally allowed to purchase refundable tickets on behalf of their customers, and to cancel the ticket purchase after a maximum period of 48 hours. Contact them for a quote if you need a ticket that lasts more than 48 hours.

Aussie Tiny Home Project: A Pathway from Homelessness to Self Support

Australia's first tiny home project approved for NSW homeless

Tiny Homes Foundation (THF) has received DA approval to build what is believed to be Australia’s first tiny house project for homeless women, men, youth and the elderly. The pilot project next to Gosford Hospital on the NSW Central Coast will consist of four tiny homes, a common lounge, a common laundry/workshop and community vegetable gardens.

“A home is not just a roof overhead it is a springboard under your feet.” 
David Wooldridge, THF Co-founder and CEO.

THF’s model is based on a ‘housing-first' solution supported by a network of training, employment and social support services. “We believe in ‘housing first’ not housing only. It provides a great foundation to build on.” THF has collaborated with like minded partners who are leading practitioners within their field, such as Clayton Utz (lawyers),NBRSArchitecture (architects), Chase Burke & Harvey (surveyors) Wilson Planning (town planning), The Skills Generator (employment & training), TAFE Outreach (education) andPacific Link (social housing providers).

As the latest strategy to increase the availability of ‘affordable housing’ each 14sq.m home has a finished cost of less than $30,000 includes full bathroom and kitchen, embraces solar efficient design and is easily assembled and disassembled.

However, building tiny houses is one thing but what makes the THF initiative groundbreaking is the fact that it is council approved, low cost, replicable and features Australia’s first “equity participation scheme for tenants” whereby accommodation payments not applied to the cost and maintenance of the project will be available to THF tenants as needed for future housing related expenditure creating a pathway from homelessness to self support.

“Solving homelessness is a question of will. Will we do it or won’t we? It can happen within the next 3-5 years – if we all really want it to.”

And as an incentive to get others to join the effort to solve homelessness THF will be making all its plans, documentation, process etc. “free access” to others who are able to replicate the project in their state or region.
