How My Working Holiday Changed Me(1)
By Hayley
1 Now that I have been home for a while and have had time to reflect on my working holiday in Vancouver, I’ve thought a lot about who I was before I left for Canada and who I am presently.
2 Prior to leaving, I was not in a good place. I had suffered a lot of personal blows and felt emotionally stretched. I lost my grandma, my job and had two car crashes in five months. I needed something to change in my life, and that came in the form of a working holiday visa.
3 In less than three months I filled out the necessary paperwork, booked my plane ticket and fled Brisbane. I spent fifteen months living and working in Vancouver, Canada and eighteen months in total away from Australia. This is how that working holiday changed me and my life.
I Grew (Like a Beanstalk)
4 I have always been a quiet, shy person and meeting people and making friends has always been a constant struggle. I’ve always had a few friends but never a large social circle. Then I moved to Vancouver and began working at Starbucks. My co-workers were so welcoming and it wasn’t long before we were meeting up after work for dinner, ladies night and sightseeing excursions. I taught them an Australian word of the day and they helped me understand the Canadian lingo, eh? Oh, how I laughed whenever someone ended their sentence with those two letters.
5 My time in Vancouver was the most social in my life and for once I didn’t hate it. I enjoyed seeing new places and doing new things with new friends. I loved that they accepted me for my socially awkward self. I finally felt comfortable within myself and felt that I belonged, which was the biggest personal gain.
I Had Fun at Work
6 I know what you are thinking, who actually enjoys their job? Well, I did. For the first nine months I worked two jobs: at Starbucks and on the Aussie Pie Guy food truck. Then for the final five months of my working holiday I worked full time on the food truck and I loved my job.
7 Yes, there were times and people that stressed me out, but for the majority of my employment I enjoyed going to work every day. I worked alongside great people who were more than my co-workers, they were my friends. We had fun at work listening to trashy 90s music, drinking our daily Starbucks and serving our friendly regulars.
8 I also met other great people through this job, including the employees at the breweries we regularly parked outside and other food truck owners. We traded food and beer and stories and most days it didn’t feel like my job.
9 Now I want that feeling again. I don’t want to work somewhere that I hate and that slowly sucks the life out of me. I honestly have no clue what this job will be — I never expected to enjoy working on a food truck in Vancouver — but I’ll let you know once I do.
