Sometimes even traveling to a city we do not know is difficult for some of us. So, going to a different country and going alone can be more challenging for some of us, but it should be noted that even if you will participate in the program alone, there will be other work and travel students who work with you or stay with you. In this way, you will have the opportunity to make friends from different cultures and you will never feel alone during the program. Let’s talk a little more about the contribution of participating in the program alone.

First of all, one of the most important things that participating in the program alone will help you is to learn to take o responsibility and to survive on your own in a country with a completely different culture and far from your comfort zone. It allows you to have the opportunity to develop yourself a lot as an individual, as well as adding very good friendships to your life with the people you meet in America. It is possible to see the benefits of the environment you have added to your life, even in the coming years. For example, when you travel to a different country, knowing that you actually have a friend living there will both relax and make you happy.

Another advantage is that your language development will be very fast. You will learn to tell your problems and explain yourself without having a person speaking the same language as you. It gives you the opportunity to improve your English more quickly. You get to know people from different cultures and after a while, you feel more comfortable expressing yourself to them. You try to solve your problems yourself without the support of someone else. Such advantages give you a lot of self-confidence in your future life and also provide a lot of benefits in your career. As a work and travel consultant who has participated in the program twice and is currently working in the education abroad consultancy sector, I can easily say that the benefits of participating in work and travel alone are not limited to what I have written here. And  I can say that it has improved the student in every respect.
