Chih-Hua Peng - "I worked as an attendant for a fast food court at Six Flags Magic Mountain Park. This was my first time attending the Work and Travel USA program and I must emphasize that it was a wonderful experience! Not only did I get to experience a new culture but I also gained meaningful friendships. More important – now I found myself more independent."
