To work in America during COVID EP.1

🇺🇸 Share your experience to Work and Travel alone, bad language, and at the peak is during the COVID. Let me split it into several episodes, because from preparing to the end of the project, hopefully it will be fun and useful, maybe a little long, hehe.

I have to say that I didn't tell anyone but my family, because I personally thought that if I couldn't do it, I didn't want to talk before, and I decided quite slowly, as if my friends had started traveling. When I made a decision, I started contacting the agency first because I thought that if I did it alone, I would not be ready to prepare the papers and give advice. I had to do everything and be ready to fly within two weeks.

During the visa preparation period, I read the review every day, watched almost every review clip (that I could find), everyone spoke in a single voice every day.. I Haftwood.. No, the "Mega" visa was not easy. If I missed it, and the consulate filed my passport back, it was Tub. The agency helped me practice because I had previously measured the language level with the agency.

When the day came, I was very excited. I was scared. He asked me a lot, but it was time.!!

"Where are you studying and which are major?"

"What is your plan after your comeback to Thailand?"

Yes, that's all the consul asked, and I rehearsed about it.

"Congratulations, your visa is approved" / / with a passport to print the visa page.

"I'm through!!!Ready to fly. "

Arrived at the time of ticketing.. there was also an intensive lockdown, so there was very little selection of files, but there was a plane ticket to return to Mega for less than 25, xxx Thai baht!!!And as I said, I have to catch up with the person he's going to, and I only have three days to pack, prepare, and chill out, because I have to face the world alone in a foreign country for the first time.

- Clothes for 5 days (Wash and then put on)

- Pajamas / Casual Dresses (Wearable Together)

- Personal Essentials (Toothbrush / Toothpaste / Shampoo / Soap / Shaver)

- Charger and Adapter

- Foreign friends souvenirs (if having friends dating)

- Mama. Different cooking powder. (This one goes to the review.)

I stuffed everything in the middle backpack and the smallest wheel bag, and I only took these two.

And then it was my day of travel, which took me four times to transport, and it took me a day to travel, and it was the longest journey of my life, but most of the time it was only 3-4 hours, plus it was during COVID, so he stayed in the airport, and I sat and lay there.

I finally got to Mega, but it wasn't the destination yet, because I had to connect it in the country, which was the last transit before I got to Utah, which had free time to wait, so I decided to get on social media. (As pictured) The friends were pumping a lot, because, as I said at the beginning of the post, I didn't tell anyone, plus I made a sudden decision.

This series may be long, but please follow. 🙏🏼✨

... Read moreการไป Work and Travel ในช่วงโควิดถือว่าเป็นความท้าทายอย่างมาก เพราะนอกจากต้องเตรียมเอกสารและสัมภาษณ์วีซ่าแล้ว ยังต้องรับมือกับข้อจำกัดต่างๆ เช่น การตรวจโควิดแบบเข้มงวด และการเดินทางที่ต้องมีการ Transit หลายรอบ ใช้เวลานานกว่าปกติ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่าการเตรียมตัวล่วงหน้าและการฝึกซ้อมสัมภาษณ์วีซ่าช่วยให้เรามั่นใจขึ้นมาก แม้ว่าภาษาอังกฤษจะยังไม่ดีนัก การมีเอเจนซี่คอยช่วยและให้คำแนะนำในเรื่องเอกสารก็ทำให้ลดความกังวลไปได้เยอะ การจองตั๋วในช่วงล็อคดาวน์นั้นน่าสนใจมาก เพราะจำนวนไฟลท์น้อยและราคาตั๋วน่าจะถูกกว่าปกติ ผมได้ตั๋วเครื่องบินไป-กลับอเมริกาด้วยราคาไม่ถึง 25,000 บาท ซึ่งถือว่าคุ้มมากสำหรับคนที่ต้องเดินทางไกล เรื่องการจัดกระเป๋า ผมเลือกเอาเฉพาะสิ่งจำเป็น เช่น เสื้อผ้าสำหรับ 5 วัน ของใช้ส่วนตัว สายชาร์จ และของฝากเล็กๆ น้อยๆ รวมถึงอาหารสำเร็จรูปอย่างมาม่าที่เป็นที่นิยมสำหรับคนไทยที่ไปต่างประเทศ การพกของน้ำหนักเบาและจัดให้ใช้งานง่ายช่วยให้สะดวกเวลาเดินทางและย้ายที่พัก ในช่วงเวลาที่รอเปลี่ยนเครื่องในสนามบิน ต้องยอมรับว่ามันเป็นช่วงเวลาที่ท้าทายและเหนื่อยมาก การนั่งรอในสนามบินเป็นเวลาหลายชั่วโมงโดยที่ไม่สามารถออกไปไหนได้นั้น ต้องเตรียมใจและหากิจกรรมทำ เช่น อ่านหนังสือ หรือลงสื่อโซเชียลเพื่อสื่อสารกับคนรอบข้าง สุดท้าย สำหรับใครที่กำลังคิดจะไป Work and Travel ในช่วงที่สถานการณ์โควิดยังไม่สิ้นสุด ผมขอแนะนำให้เตรียมตัวให้พร้อมทั้งทางด้านเอกสาร ความรู้เกี่ยวกับมาตรการสุขภาพ และเตรียมใจรับมือความไม่แน่นอนของแผนการเดินทาง การเรียนรู้จากประสบการณ์จริงและการวางแผนล่วงหน้านั้นคือกุญแจสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้คุณสำเร็จและมีความทรงจำที่ดีแม้ในสถานการณ์ยากลำบาก
