What People Are Saying
FIFO
Life Stories
What I love about it is it gives me the opportunity to live a life that I could not otherwise live. The challenges are as you're away from the people you care about, the people you love, you know, disconnect can happen and. Then those things that are important to you can be gone.
That's why it's so important to stay connected. Find ways to, to build the community both at your fly and fly out at your workplace,
