At Destiny Calling, we empathize with the challenges students face when it comes to securing suitable accommodations and ensuring their meals during their work hours. We recognize that the comfort and quality of your living situation can significantly impact your overall experience.
In our unwavering commitment to your well-being, we have thoughtfully selected partner hotels that offer accommodations along with duty meals. However, it's crucial to set realistic expectations regarding the accommodations. These lodgings would guarantee minimal amenities and may thus at times, require adjustments. Nevertheless, we emphasize that managing your expectations is the key to a positive experience.
Setting a baseline of expectation not only helps prevent disappointment but also ensures that any improvements in your living situation become pleasant surprises. At Destiny Calling, we guarantee that you will receive accommodations that are on par with those provided to other interns/employees at the hotel. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities.
When it comes to meals, it's important to remember that the cuisine will be prepared mostly following the traditional recipes of the region. The flavors and ingredients may be quite distinct from what you're accustomed to. While you are certainly free to prepare your meals and explore alternative dining options, we strongly encourage you to fully embrace the cultural experience by indulging in the culinary wonders of the Netherlands. From the aromatic delights of Dutch cheese to the exquisite seafood offerings, Dutch cuisine is a sensory celebration that elevates your time abroad. Immerse yourself in the art of Dutch dining, where each meal is a testament to the country's rich culinary heritage and a unique blend of flavors. Your experience in the Netherlands is not just a work opportunity; it's a delectable and unforgettable chapter in your life. Eet smakelijk!
