Ocean House, Westerly, Karavan Travel
Experience with agency Karavan Travel was neutral.
I'm not thrilled, but I do not want to denigrate them. For example, asked me to change 150 euros term return flight, I called Austrian Airlines and paid 50 euros.
Experience with location Westerly, RI was positive.
The city has about 20 000 inhabitants and it is not bad. Boston is about an hour by train.
Very easily you can find an additional job, because you'll live to around 200 meters from the ocean, and there are many restaurants, cafes, shops, motels, hotels ...
Accommodation was excellent. Cable TV, Internet, washing machine and dryer, all that is needed for a normal life. Parties almost every night, as we were about 30 international students.
Price: 100 USD / week.
Experience with employer Ocean House
was positive.
$ 5.5 per hour + tips
Hours not that great, but the tips are more than excellent. You can easily earn 500-600 USD a week. I am one week and came out on the 850 format.
It is only 40 hours a week, which means that you will have 2 or 3 days off.
This review represents personal opinion of Nikola who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2011 with agency Karavan Travel, working at Ocean House in Westerly, RI.
