Today
marks a month since I arrived in the sunshine state, Florida! Wow!
What a month it has been! I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster ride filled with
both highs and lows! After saying goodbye to loved ones, flying for almost 24
hours, going through passport control and collecting my bags I could finally
say that my feet were on Florida soil and what a great feeling that was!
All
the Workaway candidates grouped together and we all hopped onto a bus and after
leaving the airport, majority of us were already in awe! We all knew we were
very far from home and I don’t know if that scared me or excited me more.
We
stopped to get some supplies to last us for the first few days of being here
before we were dropped off at our different accommodations. Once we had met our
housemates and unpacked our things, the settling-in began.
So
many questions about so many different things were asked that night but the
question that popped up most was; “What do you think working at Boca West
Country Club will be like?”. I may not have been here the longest time but what
I can honestly say so far is that it has been amazing! The people here are
always so kind and helpful, I know this because I got lost about 7 times and
each time there was somebody kind enough to show me where I went wrong and send
me in the right direction. I also often had lots of questions about how to do
things or where to find certain things and every single person I asked, smiled
and helped me.
I
think it’s safe for me to say I’m finally settled in and getting into a routine
of how things work over here. However, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve been homesick,
and I’ve doubted if I could really do this, but with the support I have back
home and the support I’ve gained here from some pretty incredible people I’ve
met I know this journey is going to continue to be a rollercoaster ride! One
filled with many ups and many downs, but this ride only comes to an end in
April 2019 so for now I’m going to buckle up, throw my hands in the air and
simply enjoy the ride!
