My Travel Story

I am a new hire for Xanterra Travel Collections to work at Yellowstone National Park from August 8 to mid-October.  I will be working as a Laundry Attendant for $18 an hour, 40 hours per week guaranteed, and the opportunity to work overtime is always available.  Employee housing and 3 meals per day are provided for about $110 per week, and deducted out of our paycheck.  
This is like a dream come true for me, and if I had known about Xanterra I would have chose to experience my earlier travels and adventures with them.  It certainly would have eliminated a lot of those scary moments and unnecessary struggling I went through.
But the time is now, and this time I will have a place to stay, food to eat, and a good paying job the moment I arrive.  Living and  working with people from all over the world in such a beautiful place I've never been to before seems like heaven to me.  I am so excited about going. I know it will change my life for the better, I'll make some good friends, and I'll make lasting memories.  
Another great thing about this opportunity is it opens me up to the great possibility of working at other national parks .  Xanterra has several seasonal and full-time jobs from all over the world.  
I need help with the funds or the means to travel from Tallahassee, Florida to Bozeman, Montana on August 7, 2023.
  I am more than willing to reimburse the cost of a plane ticket on my first payday.
