Working Holiday in a Lodge in Patagonia
(Chile)
I am doing really well, thank you! Overall I am loving the work and people at the lodge. The accommodation is great and my coworkers are very friendly and kind. The food is pretty good, although my dietary restrictions have not always been well accommodated. However, I spoke with the kitchen staff and since then it has been much better!
One final point is that the schedule is very different than as advertised by the agency: It is 12 days working for every 3 days off, and shifts are much more variable that I thought. In particular, shifts can often be split throughout the day instead of 8 hours straight. This is not necessarily an issue and I know that it is not changeable at this point, just something to be aware of so you can update your information about the lodge.
Overall I am very happy with the work placement!
