Here we are again Workaway hopefuls. Recruitment season has
begun! I have enjoyed reading up on 2013/14 participants' success and
adventures in the USA. I have seen all your pictures from amazing places like
New York, LA, the Florida Keys and more. It takes me back to my time on the
program and the memories I made that will forever be with me. It has been an
exciting time for me here in SA too. Since my last blog I have travelled to
Denmark to represent South Africa at Hip Hop World Championships and in
November I married the man of my dreams, who I actually met on the program! Wow
six months can really fly.
Saturday saw the arrival of the first Cape Town presentation
and our turnout was yet another record breaker! The Belmont was buzzing with
season kickoff energy. It always stirs excitement hearing returners talk about
their experiences. I can’t wait to get the interviews going and help set
applicants' dreams in motion. If this weekend is anything to go by, we are
going to have awesome newbies heading over to Florida in October. Johannesburg
is up next on the 17th of May and I’m sure they will bring the same quality as
last year.
To everyone who follows our Workaway journey, thank you for
your support. Let’s keep spreading the word and give more young South Africans
an opportunity of a lifetime. I am proud to be part of this amazing team. The
hard work is only beginning but it’s always worth it. Let’s make season 25 the
best yet!
