Summer Work Adventure

My time was not without its struggles. Several things in my personal and family life were really challenging at the time. However I experienced such kindness and empathy from AdventureEXP, my managers and coworkers. Having that support made it much easier. The location was beautiful and I was able to jump in and get to work right away. With the low cost of living and meals provided, I saved enough money to take the holidays off with my family and go to Europe for a few months afterwards. AdventureEXP took a lot of the guess-work out of it and made me feel supported to take on the new adventure! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get their toes wet and travel somewhere new.

In my program I gained experience working with management, speaking up for myself, and working with high-priority clientele. I was drawn to the location by the national monuments, museums, and cultural heritage sites that surround the area. Ultimately, the most meaningful parts of my experience were the people I met and the adventures I went on. I would definitely recommend it to a friend!
