This blog was created exclusively for Antonella's friends in order to keep them always informed about what happens and overall where in the world!
I'll write in English as I hope this blog's gonna be visited by all of my friends.
I'm currently in Wyoming (USA) which is one of the most authentic places where you can find Indian reservations as well as "Old west" stuff. On top of that there is so much nature to be explored and experienced! Climbing, hiking, horse riding are the activities on which I decided to stay till now.
I work for NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) as assistant of the rations manager. Essentially, we issue food rations for students and instructors leaving for oudoor courses. Behind outdoor and environmental skills NOLS' mission is about leadership. That's why the courses are very demanding in terms of phisical activities but also of living conditions. The students do not get any toilet paper, just get a small soap which has to be used during an average period of 30 days. Food rations are to be determined very strictly as students won't be bringing too heavy packs while hiking. We are also responsible for re-rations which are prepared and shipped through horse-packing.
Everything's totally new for me. The team (about 8 people) which I work with is awesome. They are always good-humoured and generally have a positive attitude towards life.
The whole company pays much attention to human resources and self satisfaction of employees as I can see. (They don't accept any overtime for example).
Every once and a while I'll try to add pictures and comments. Have fun, take care!
