In this episode, I sit down with my co-host to ask him all about his unforgettable journey as a work-and-travel exchange student in the U.S. Hear all about his time working at a ski resort, the culture shocks he faced, the life lessons he gained, and how watching TV shows at home helped him get comfortable with English before the trip. It's a fun and inspiring look at what it's like to work abroad and embrace a whole new world of experiences!

  • Learn about a program Izzy used to find a job in the US
  • Learn great vocabulary related to ski resorts, like "Chairlift", "Snow tubing" and "Terrain park"
