The entire team made me feel welcome. The principal is very friendly, always available to help me about working aspects and to give me the best advice for enjoying Florida during the free time, such as my <strong>supervisor Suzi<\/strong> ready anytime to explain me something or just to\u00a0share a glass of wine.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning,\u00a0this exchange experience was not so easy for me.

This made me a little bit nervous.<\/strong>\u00a0However, the <strong>Hoos team<\/strong> created the right work environment to\u00a0enjoy\u00a0my new life.

Here in Florida, the typical\u00a0construction materials are wood and concrete block for hurricane reason. <strong>You can not imagine how many rules you need to follow to make building able to stand during the hurricane season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Out of work, I found my favorite places to have fun all around. During the weekend I have to just decide what is the best thing to do&#8230;going to beautiful beaches, to springs for kayaking or to a big city for a live concert or a museum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am so excited about what I have learned during my exchange program that I can not imagine how the next ones will be!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deciding to join a small firm on the East Cost of Florida was the right choice.
