Most of you may think that work & travel is just only to work with customers or visit a new place. Maybe for some people is just like that, but in my experience, it was much more than that. That’s why I’m going to talk you about it… The Beginning My journey started 6 months after I joined Intraway. My boss at that time came up to me and told me: “we need someone to fill a position in Claro Colombia”, which was the most important client for the Company. I’m not going to lie to you: at first, I was scared, thinking how I was going be able to manage that situation with only 6 months in the company but with a little help from Lucas, my boss, I decided to take a chance and go there…. If it’s your first time travelling and working, just some advice: …show more content…

I took a taxi and began the trip. The following day, which was Monday, I had to go to the client’s office, almost without knowing about the operation. I started wondering if it had been a good decision to go there. After two weeks, I was working a lot, as if I had been there for 5 months, thanks to the Technical Support & Professional Service team backing me up all the time. Last but not least, the support of the customer helped too. Some more advice, don’t think of the customers as if they were born just to kill you. They are there to do their work, the best way possible, so, if you give them some confidence and attention, they are going to understand your situation in there, and they are going to help you every time. I think there is a misunderstanding when thinking about this point; they want the same thing as you do, and so, why do we think that they are against us? After some months, I started thinking that it wasn’t so bad. I had created a strong relation with the customer, who some time before was “the enemy”, I had learned tons of new technical things and as if by chance, I ended up knowing a new country, new food, new all. From there on, the relation with the customer grew steadily to the level of being in Argentina and having a really good and different relationship of

  • An Analysis Of Going Abroad

    In staging reality, setting is critical for both Chad and Undine’s performances. In expatriate fiction, Europe is associated with more freedom than Puritanical America and is used as a medium for performers to present and explore both themselves and cultural and social differences between their home in America and abroad. In Going Abroad, William Stowe suggests that Europe is a space in which higher class and non-essential laborers can “prepare for or advance their careers” (Stowe 7). As a continent with a vast collection of cultural goods, Europe conflicts with the barren American landscape. Acquiring a “Europeanized” persona helps Undine and Chad to gain experience that they employ at home, and cultural accumulation provides an advantage

    Being part of this study abroad was an experience unlike any other. That is to say, I experienced parts of my own culture that I had by no means witnessed before and I returned to the United States with a superior knowledge of my cultural roots. Similarly, as an educator after a week of teaching in Las Clavellinas I’ve gained an immense amount of understanding that would have taken me years to acquire in a traditional classroom setting in the United States. Consequently, this study abroad has confidently equipped me as an educator as I commence my teaching residency and for the real-world once I graduate and begin teaching.

  • Persuasive Essay On Healthy Living

    The meaning of anything and everything in this world is up to debate because of the differences between cultures, regions, and types of people cohabitating this planet. None of them have a solid “correct” form to live a healthy life, but with combined knowledge from many walks of life, it is possible to attain the powerful knowledge to enjoy that elusive healthy life. Travel is not typically a consideration within the health spectrum of a human being, but it has much more to deal with human well-being than many doctors will let on. Seeing the world will not drop ten pounds in two weeks, but what it will do, is broaden people’s perspectives on this world. It opens the mind into seeing how other people live, how the world functions, and viewing the raw natural beauty of undisturbed nature. Humans are of this earth and will return to it one day: it is important to understand where we come from and will eventually go, to maintain a healthy mentality. Now this may sound like the healthiest way to live life is to drop all worldly possessions and become a hippie traveling in a 1974 VW van, meeting all types of people; and that may be, it also may not be. Living healthy is like one of those college classes in which the only correct answer is to question; there is no definitive answer to be healthy, it is what best fits you. Traveling broadens horizons to open the possibilities of changing unhealthy lifestyles of under-traveled persons, allowing them to attain one of the thousands of possible healthy lives able to be
