Best decision ever.

I think the resort should invest in hats that have mini fans attached to them because it is absolutely roasting while working outside.

The staff are the most welcoming people i've ever met. ever. and that is not an exaggeration whatsoever. I've never been in a country where everyone says hi to each other, even if you have no clue who they are. Pity that practically anywhere else if you say hi to a stranger, they see you as a rapist/killer/creep.

I have officially completed my first 2 days of work!! Still standing...jokes, my feet are dead.

I've already experienced my first jamaican party. Which was eventful to say the least, but also an absolute blast.

Even though i've been here for about 4 days, I can already say that coming to Turks and Caicos is by far the best decision I've ever made. Basically, what i'm trying to say is that i'm in absolute HEAVEN. Some of you might know that there are multiple reasons why i'm in heaven, but won't go into detail about that the other reason.........

Provo doesn't have any public transport at all. So you basically need a car to get to everywhere. However there are taxis. The "official" ones and the "illegal" ones. The official taxis are the taxis taken by tourists, and will charge the person a ridicules amount of money even for a 5 min drive. However the illegal ones aka "jitneys" are the taxis that everyone living on the island use. I can guarantee that if you're planning a trip to Provo and you do your usual research, they will all say that jitneys are dangerous and a big no no. Even though the cars look like they're all about to die at any point and some don't have door handles, jitneys are in fact safe enough to use. They are also a billiooon times cheaper than the "official" ones. 2 dollars per person for about a 5/6 min drive, instead of 6 or 8 dollars per person for the same distance.
My first jitney experience was unusual. Thankfully I wasn't alone so felt perfectly safe!

I'm about to pass out so adios kidz. xo

p.s. when blogger lets me upload a picture of my usual view at work, i'll no doubt plop it on here!

Waking up this morning and looking out of window was probably the nicest view to wake up to. ever. Blue skies, palm trees, my own balcony. I'm not complaining at all. Especially as I can see the clear blue ocean from it!

Can't really believe I'm here yet though! its so surreal..

I'll be posting tons of pictures on here, but wanted to start out by showing you my humble abode for the next 6 months!

room!

I've decided to start a little blog to keep track of my caribbean experience for the next 6 months while I'm on placement. Can't promise world class blogging but as long as its decent enough for my friends and family to be updated on my life here (if they want/care that is...) im happy with it!

Firstly, some very good news...it is officially...OFFICIAL!!! After a loooooooong wait, I finally know when I'll be heading off to the lovely Turks and Caicos!
I'll be leaving the 25th of September and no doubt will I be shitting myself (we're all adults here, calm down) when boarding that flight.

Been thinking how in the world to end a post for the past 5 minutes. Do I include xoxoxo? or just a simple x... because what if this blog falls into a strangers hands? i think the xoxoxox would be too much..

xo (i think thats a happy medium)
