The first season but hopefully not the last


By Melissa Fourie

After traveling an exhausting yet exciting 24 hours, my boyfriend and I finally arrived in Delray beach. We have been waiting for this moment for so long. Our apartment was amazing, fully furnished with the best view, especially when watching the sunset after a hard day’s work. 


There was no time to waste, we had one day to relax before attending the first day of training, I still remember how nervous we were driving to Addison Reserve for the first time, just knowing that our lives will never be the same. We met a lot of new, amazing people for all over South Africa and Austria. These will be friends for life.


We both were accepted in a country club up north. Unfortunately, things did not work out as planned. Everyone knows why. Although we would have loved to stay longer, it was time for us to head home. It was scary, but we made it. This was an unforgettable experience. I have learned so much about myself and the hospitality service industry. Thank you to Workaway International for giving Zian and I this experience. We hope to be traveling back to USA shortly.


This is a chance of a lifetime, if you get the opportunity to become part of the Workaway International family, do not hesitate.
