Worked in a pizza
restaurant and nightclub in Vail Ski resort.
Do it. I arrived in Vail and
did not know a soul except for the hotel manager. It
was a character building experience but I met great friends
from the US, South Africa and New Zealand. We still keep
in touch and I am going to South Africa to stay with
them next year!
