Description
Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest ways to discover the United States. As you will discover, there are so many places to see and to visit in this huge country!
What makes this experience so special is that when you go home, you'll have a lot more than great memories and some cool photos. You'll also have an international work experience that will make your CV or resume get the most attention! When applying for a job, chances are that your work experience in the United States will move your CV to the top of the list!
Adjusting to a new culture and way of life is both exciting and challenging - it shouldn't come as any surprise that you will experience some highs and lows during your time in the U.S. You have taken on an adventure of a lifetime and moved to a new environment, which you may find strange and difficult at times. During these times of difficulty - just remind yourself that these cultural differences are the reason we all love to travel: to experience the unknown!
And remember: It's just a phase!
