In this episode, we dig into what it's like to work as a surf guide/instructor at a surf camp while traveling abroad. I met this guy down in Nicaragua where he was working as an instructor for a surf camp. He has 8 years of experience working as a surf instructor in Cornwall England (see VW: 4 for part one of our conversation and for more info on his experience there). During the second part of the conversation, we cover the differences between working at a surf camp abroad vs. a typical seasonal surf school/shop, working with clients for a week or more at a time, compensation, the importance of establishing your motivations, crucial questions to ask employers before accepting a job, and a whole lot more.
