One of our AwesomeTravelrs Nelson Makgakoa who is currently at the Broadmoor sent us this great message! ************************************************************* Hello everyone It is with joy that I write this email to you. The journey has been great with its own challenges of course but we have overcame them because of determination, willingness to learn and hardwork. I learned a lot since my arrival here concerning the operations and management of the kitchen at large because last month where I was doing my practicals at Golden Bee kitchen when Chef Adam was away I used to assume responsibility of making sure that the service runs smoothly, receive the stock and pack it appropriately at the required temperatures. I was even nominated for an employee of the month for November, though I didn't win the coveted prize I got a consolation prize of [...]

A Happy AwesomeTraveller (Gololesego Dithebe) who just returned from the Broadmoor! ****************************************************************** Greetings Miss Caroline I trust that you have been doing well, since we last communicated. It has been a little over a month since I've been back in the country; getting my circadian rhythm was a little challenging in the beginning, but I am now back to my old self again! I had wished to take a moment to thank you for the lifetime experience, extended to us by you and your team. My journey at the Broadmoor was paved with "highs and lows" like everything in life, but I certainly tried to make the very best of every moment. Prior to me embarking on my Broadmoor stint, I had a goal that I'd wished to accomplish; that was to grow on both a personal and professional level. [...]
