The climate

If you decide to work in America, it is good to know that the country has a wide range of climates. Most of the country has a continental climate which means summers are often short and hot, while winters can be harsh. Alaska has a polar climate with extremely cold winters and mild summers, while in Arizona you face a desert climate characterized by dry, hot summers. Florida and Hawaii, on the other hand, enjoy a tropical climate, with pleasant temperatures throughout the year, but also unexpected rainstorms and cloudiness.

The environment

If you choose to do seasonal work in America, there are a number of cities and areas that are absolutely not to be missed. The Grand Canyon, for example is an impressive natural wonder that is 435 km long and has a width of 15 to 29 kilometers. This is the perfect place for adventurers who like to put on their hiking boots. Would you like to explore another beautiful natural park besides the Grand Canyon? Then Zion National Park is a must-see. Here you can enjoy a 24-mile-long canyon and some of the most beautiful hiking trails America has to offer.

If you settle on Key West in Florida, there are plenty of islands to explore. Of the 1,700 islands, some are uninhabited and connected by bridges which makes for a beautiful environment to explore. And then, of course, there is New York, the city that never sleeps and where there is always something to do. A visit to the world-famous park in Manhattan is a must. Fancy experiencing a touch of Europe during your stay in America? Then San Francisco is a great choice. This city, often considered the most European city in the country, is one of the most beautiful places to visit. Here you will also find the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

In addition to these tourist hotspots, there are countless other special places to explore during your stay in America. So what are you waiting for? Go on an adventure in this fascinating country!

The culture

One of the most notable habits in America is that Americans generally do not bike much, and in the larger cities, walking is almost non-existent. Distances are often long, making the car the main mode of transportation. In addition, watching television is a favorite pastime; on average, Americans spend as much as 4 hours and 42 minutes a day in front of the TV. In terms of work habits, American workers make long hours compared to their European counterparts. They work an average of 47 hours a week, retire later and rarely take vacation days.

Are you about to start working in America? Then it is good to know that Black Friday is a huge event. Although this day is now also popular in the Netherlands, in America it is even more exuberant. Stores offer huge discounts to kick off the season of Christmas shopping, and it is not uncommon for Americans to line up before opening time. Finally, America is known for its gigantic portions of fast food. If you go to work there, you will be surprised how often Americans visit fast food restaurants.
