Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm very impressed so far I think here everyone's been so friendly so helpful

it's really important that you keep professional and personal separate

homesickness is another challenge that is really difficult to deal with

not being able to switch off is definitely a challenge if you're not used to it

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Leave your cabin 20 minutes before you need to be somewhere to account for getting lost
✓Speak to family and friends as much as you can, even if you have to pay for internet
✓Make an effort to only talk about work when you're in work and vice versa
