About New York

New York State is much more than the city. Work and Travel students often choose The Hamptons — a string of resort towns at the eastern end of Long Island.

The summer population triples, restaurants run at full capacity, and demand for seasonal staff is huge. Pay is among the highest in the program, with tips often exceeding the base wage. Manhattan is two hours away by train or bus, so many students visit almost every free weekend.

My name is Denislav and I study at the Technical University of Sofia. I spent my summer in Niagara Falls, working at a car park and charging visitors who wanted to park. The summer went by quickly but was very enjoyable. I also had the chance to visit the Canadian side of the city. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

I am Iliyana, 22, and this summer I joined Work and Travel in the USA with my boyfriend. We lived and worked in Niagara Falls, saw the waterfall up close and rode Maid of the Mist. We worked together, met many new people and made memories we will keep for a long time. We also explored Buffalo, which was amazing, and New York is next to finish a wonderful summer!
