It
is always a bittersweet feeling leaving your home country, your comfort zone,
your family and friends. This season it was especially tough saying goodbye to
the amazing ladies at the Workaway office. I am eternally grateful to each one
of them for making the past five months so enjoyable.
Now
for the start of a new chapter… This season I am a part of the wonderful team
at the nation’s number 1 private residential country club, Boca West Country
Club. All the staff are so friendly and always willing to help, which makes
adjusting to a new work environment much easier. I am sure many of the first-time
participants are feeling very nervous about their first day at work, however as
Mr Linderman, President, COO and GM of Boca West says, nerves are a good thing
as they show that you care about your job and that you want to perform well. It
is also important to remember that ultimately, we are all representing South
Africa while we are working in the USA so let’s represent our country well!
I
believe that it is important to start your season with a goal in mind…for many
of us, saving money is the main reason for joining the Workaway International
program and a goal such as this helps keep you focused throughout the season.
Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your bank balance grow and all your hard
work pay off. You could be saving money for a car or house when you get home or
maybe for a vacation at the end of the season… whatever it is, do not lose
sight of your goal!
I wish all the new
participants the best for the season ahead and I hope that it will be a
successful season for Workaway South Africa!
