Hello, friend, if you're wondering this year whether to sign up for a student summer job in the States. I had the same dilemma last year, except that I decided very quickly and signed up on time. And I wasn't wrong. I had the most incredible summer of my life. New York, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Zion National Park, Bridal Veil Falls Provo, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles… these are just names to many people, but this year for me they were places I visited, felt and stored in my memory forever. I made a dream come true that I never, even in my wildest dreams, imagined I would achieve. And guess what – making my dream come true was a unique experience. I was lucky, I made the best decision for myself. Now it's your turn, my friend! I am 200% satisfied, and now it's your turn for an incredible journey. I envy you quite a bit, because for you the adventure – work and travel – is just beginning. But remember, if you decide to go, everything depends on how well informed you are and what expectations you leave with. If they are astronomically unrealistic, you will be disappointed, because America is not a land for dreamers. You go there to work and have fun, not to become a millionaire. Well, I admit I got a little richer, but that by no means means it will be the same for you. So dare to try, dare to sign up, and I can guarantee at least one thing – you'll have the most incredible summer of your life and you'll definitely want to do it again. Good luck and be smart!
