- About Me:
- I'm 26 years old and live in a tiny northwest town of New Jersey, where every thought most of you have about NJ will go right out the window. The area I live in is beautiful. I've left NJ in 2001 and went to school at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I graduated in 2004 with a degree in Geography, and moved to Savannah, Georgia where I stayed until 2006. I'm back in NJ now, working in the corporate world for an insurance company, sitting in a cube. I'm only doing this to pay off my debt and prepare myself to take on new adventures in life. I envy every single one of you.

My "So-Called" Life
It is 10:35AM on a Sunny morning, temps will be about 70 degrees today... not a cloud in the sky. I'm sitting here in my "cubicle", in the office of a large insurance company, responding to people's "i need this.. can you set up this meeting... how do you do this...". And i think to myself, that if any of these people really knew what was so important in life, they probably wouldn't be here. But yet they are all blinded by big bucks. Sometimes I sit here and wonder and think about my life at 26… Continue

Even if you see the info on hostels.com, I'd do a google for the individual hostel anyways, usually the price is the same, but sometimes there's a small difference.
I keep on forgetting that movie, or is it movies now? People always bring that up when they here I stay at them. But after you get in this line of work and you get used to being put with other roommates it's not a big deal. Also, I treat it just like a room at a job. If you're there and you care more about the room where you sleep and store your stuff than what's outside that room, don't bother going there.
New York has the most, LA has quite a few but many there only take international visitors. So far I liked Chicago's the best, it's right downtown near all the major museums and a couple blocks from the Buckingham Fountain and where the Bears play. New York's is near Central Park and a very short walk to a subway stop...but I have stayed in another one in the Chelsea neighborhood that I liked too.
On the brighter side, I am excited to have almost everything fixed and am ready to begin sending out more applications in for positions out west. I haven't completely given up hope for a summer position, but am realistically shooting for winter '08 / summer '09. I would love to be somewhere near Vancouver for the winter olympics in '10.
Anyway hope you're doing well and look foward to hearing from you.
Perhaps one summer I will make it back to Alaska and stay and work.
Hope all is well with you and look forward, networking with you .
Keep in touch, who knows our paths may cross one day.
One of the most interesting things I have found about my co-workers is that I get to work with many different people from not only the US, but in some cases the world. Currently, the guy across the hall from me is from Jamaica, I had lunch with a couple of the girls from Bulgaria, I worked this morning cooking breakfast with a guy from South Africa, and tomorrow I meet three new kitchen staffers...two sisters from Poland and another girl from Moldova.
When I was at a ski resort, I worked with quite a few students from Peru and a couple from Chile and Brazil.
At another place it was a few from the Czech Republic and one Russian.
I'm not sure what all the differences are...I know J1 is only for college students on their summer break, and I think the H2B the employer has to have some kind of proof that there isn't enough qualified Americans applying... but none of the technical details WE have to worry about... we just get the interesting experience of working with, and hanging out with, someone that might not have a similar background.
All who wander are not Lost.
