Two people who did this the hard way — so you don't have to.
Luma started the way a lot of good things do: at a kitchen table, surrounded by browser tabs, half-finished checklists, and the quiet panic of trying to move to the other side of the world.
We're a couple. We went through the Working Holiday process ourselves — the eligibility doubts, the document hunt, the 2 a.m. forum threads, the agents quoting hundreds of dollars to translate what's already on a government website.
We kept thinking: there has to be a calmer way to do this. So we built one.
[FOUNDER STORY — paste your final personal version here: where you're from, why Australia called you, the exact moment you knew Luma had to exist. Keep it short, honest, and human. 3–5 sentences.]
Built by travellers, for travellers.
Hand-built with care from our kitchen table to yours.
Why we built Luma
Moving country shouldn't need a law degree or an expensive agent. The information is out there — it's just scattered across twenty tabs and written in a language designed to confuse you.
Luma is free for travellers, always. We only earn anything when we recommend a genuinely useful trusted partner — insurance, a bank account, a SIM — at the moment you actually need it. We never sell trust, and we never push what you don't need.
What we stand for
Three things we will not compromise on.
Clarity over everything
Plain language, one step at a time, no jargon hiding the real answer.
Trust, never hype
Based on official guidance, linked to the source, honest about what we don't know.
We're on your team
If it isn't useful to you, it doesn't belong in Luma. Your journey, your pace.
Come do this with us.
Two minutes to set up. Free, forever, for travellers like you.
