It was from my desk in South Korea that I discovered CoolWorks. Id gone there to teach English and save money, but the isolation proved to be too much. For three months, I longed for a sense of community. It was through your site that I discovered the opportunity in Denali. I had a phone interview with the Lodge, and the next day I left. After volunteering abroad through the fall, I returned to Keystone for another season. The seasonal life has become a part of me, and its a part I wish to share through writing. Thank you so much for introducing me to that life changing opportunity.
