Training period as Deck Cadet on Bulk Carrier ships

Londra, Regno Unito

I was working in a bar department as a barback, assisting the bartender to prepare e keeping ready all bar areas for the guests.That experience was my jump into a freefall to taste what was waiting for me outside my comfort zone.So I decided to test myself e give myself some positive stimulation by moving abroad.The main reason was to learn English with full immersion in an English context, and I was attending also English courses in a school with a mother languages teacher, great experience.The most beautiful thing that I assimilated in this period abroad was that outside our comfort zone there are only things to learn and not to fear, only opportunities for self-growth.Was an unforgettable experience.
