I am an ASL host for Rovia! | New York City

My first trip for Rovia is FINALLY here! After two months of waiting, I just flew into New York and am all set up in Le Parker Meridian near Central Park! Oh my goodness, I am so excited!

I'm here as a host for Rovia (a travel company) and am assigned to travel groups with Deaf clients. I didn't even know these kind of jobs existed (otherwise I would have been applying for it since I was...5 years old). It's simply miraculous how this all came together!

Rovia's Deaf client base has been expanding but until now, they have not had a host that knows ASL. Fortunately, a friend of mine from Semester at Sea, Sean Trent, recommended me for the position. (He has been working for Rovia for some time.) We had an interview/orientation and I was brought on board!

I'm a contractor with Rovia, which means I'll travel about 2xs per month but can decide how much or little I travel. (Such a blessing as I continue to work for the Church as a contractor!)

Absolutely a miracle. With all the help of Sean, and another Semester at Sea friend who works for Rovia, Will Lee, the Lord opened this door wide for me and I am feeling so blessed to be here! Miracles happen, guys!

I have to admit, I'm VERY giddy as I'm not used to traveling in luxury. I'm a very content travel hacker (and prefer it 99% of the time), but I'd be lying if I didn't say this country girl is feeling mighty pampered at the moment! :D I'll share more photos of the hotel later!

Feeling so grateful tonight.

Happy travels, everyone!
