Congrats 🎊🎉 depending what company your contracting with can assist with this! I’m with AYA healthcare and they have a team that prepares you for your contracts. They have what’s called “Allied Licensing Specialist III” who helps you get licensed in your desired state and they also place you on a follow up list to remind you when you’re license is expiring to assist you with the renewal process AHEAD of time! What state are you interested in?! I’m wishing you ALL THE BEST!! 💕

❤️❤️ can’t wait till you guys come to visit!! We’ll make a pit stop here!!

Lolll yeah same I just can’t do it! Team no clam chowder 😂

@@travelwgrace Right! I’m watching your channel because I aspire to be a traveling social worker one day and I’m a black female so I wanted a black female perspective.

Omg love this!! Welcome! Please free to ask any questions- I hope to host a Tavel social work zoom call in Feb! I’ll keep you updated 😊

@ Okay cool I’ll be looking out.

Hiii 🙌🏾

Hi :) thanks for watching!!

Thank youuu for watching! I actually didn't check but that would be IDEAL def ask the front desk! We went to another resort to go jet skiing but I can't remember if it was another RIU!

@@ecovisiongroupeafridecouve8436 thank youu ☺️ OF COURSE I’m going back!! It’s a MUST!

Hiii :) no the sports activities were not included with the stay! I’m not sure of other water activities but they had alot of them! Hope you enjoy your time there!

hahahah yeah he was chillin as I walked around. He literally comes with me everywhere on these little adventures! Wait you like it balsamic vinegars?! What kind I can send you a box!

Hiii! Such a good question! Making friends while moving around often can be challenging, but I’ve found that saying yes to local events and hobbies makes a big difference. Joining group activities like fitness classes or meetups helps me meet people with similar interests, and work connections often turn into great friendships too. I also try to stay open and approachable. Even with all the moving, I’ve learned that genuine friendships can be built anywhere! If you watch my Senegal videos - I was able to go because I said YES when one of my coworkers asked me and we became really close and still till this day after both of our contracts ended<3 Are you currently doing Travel Social Work or interested in getting started? If so, I can help you with the process!

This is so sweet!! Thank YOUU❤️ Thank you for watching 💙🥹 miss you come back!

Thanks for watching!

Hii! Yess for sure! There’s so many things to get into and just being around the pool you’ll find a lot of people to join! You’ll enjoy it💙

YAAAH🌸🌞

Thank youuu for watching ❤️ sending love to you in India!

Thank you for watching!! I know you’re going to love Senegal! Def would love to hear about it when you return! I’m actually not sure of the specific name but they had a booth to the left of Safari restaurant! They also had like jet skis and other water activities!

MERCIIII for watching! <3

Thank youuu!

🌸🌸🙌🏾 yasss

Hahah you won’t get kidnapped! I drove an ATV and used a tuk tuk to get around it was the easiest way for me. You’ll see it in the video!

@@cibele.alves23 thank youuuu 💕💕 it def was!!

Hey there! Thanks for watching the video 😊. Yes, my dog comes along with me on my assignments, and I completely understand your concerns about how traveling as a social worker might impact your dogs. It does take some extra planning, but it’s definitely possible. Finding pet-friendly housing ahead of time is key, and there are lots of resources available for pet care, parks, and vets wherever you go. I use Rover just make sure to check the reviews! Haha Traveling with pets can add a little more coordination, but having my dog with me makes each place feel more like home. If you love travel and want to keep your dogs with you, there’s definitely a way to make it work! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

Yesss it was ❤️❤️ thank youu!! Next up you guys are coming out here!

Thank youuu 😍

Thank you so much! 😊 Having your MSW is an amazing start! For most travel social work contracts, you’ll typically need a license for the state you’re working in, but don’t worry-there are definitely some opportunities out there! I’ve seen MSW positions pop up in states like GA (though they’re rare, and they tend to go fast!). Many require about 2 years of experience in a hospital or inpatient setting. I would say for now focus on gaining that hospital experience while you prepare for your LMSW. Once you’re licensed, you'll be able to take advantage of ANY opportunity that comes your way! Keep going-you’re on the right track!

Yes, you're absolutely right! Lately, I’ve been really leaning into the discomfort and just figuring things out as I go. Thank you so much, love youuu! 🩷

Oh wow! I'm curious did you fully transition out or just taking a break from social work at the moment? Travel contracts are a whole new adventure- something new every time! ✨ You can land short-term contracts but also if things are going well, you can stay on the same contract up to a year! (Depending on you and the employer on the extension piece) And after that year, you have to take a 30-day break (to recharge) you can go right back to that same contract, as long as you and the employer agree on the terms.

@@travelwgraceis this still accurate for the same state?! I was told differently, just curious.

@@renewilder6807 Hii! Can you explain your question more? I’m not sure what’s your question.

Miss youuuu<3 I hope everything is working out well for you! & it is I'm actually back in New Mexico- I'm hopeful it will be a smooth assignment. HAHA

OHH YES THE MOTHERLAND<3 I need to go back ASAP!! Thank you! I think you'll like the next one too with our airbnb!

Thank you for watching! Have you ever been to Senegal or are you planning to go?? Also, part 4 will be out soon!! ❤️ stay tuned!

@@elliottmims9628 no no I didn’t get the elite club stay. When are you planning on going?

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you!!

Hi!! I booked them on the resort during the trip! The booth is located before the pool area to your left!

Good question! It depends are you currently licensed as a LMSW and what states are you interested in?! Depending on which states I can assist you with the process and show you the process step by step. There's specific application fees which vary by state and most people obtain by reciprocity/Licensure by Endorsement. You may apply for licensure by endorsement, which recognizes your LMSW from another state. This process can vary widely, with some states requiring additional exams or proof of experience. Please feel free to email me [email protected] - I coach new social workers getting into travel social work world! I would love to hear more!

Hiii 😊 I love this for you- you’ll love travel social work! Yes it’s def possible to travel on dependent license. I have my LMSW. What state are you licensed in? I’m excited for you! Please feel free to email me [email protected] - I coach new social workers getting into travel social work world! I would love to hear more🎊🎉

@@travelwgrace This is awesome to hear!! I am licensed in Ohio currently. I will email you!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

& so I heard and NOW I see why!! It was beautiful!!

I’m proud of you 💕💕

Thanks for watching<3 Wow how is it living in the Netherlands?! Everything is GOING to work out and you'll find a freelancing contract and you'll love Senegal! I had to think about that question because the only time someone came up to me trying to sell me something was when I went to Gorée Island (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYLJp2V7p5ZreaMsi=SgEgvZIrKJLiaPtd) or the touristy areas but that's it not a lot at all and I was there for 2 weeks! Also, my brothers wife is from Cape Verde and she lives in the states now - I def recommend her page! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYO4mXRombSHja8si=YGg83A1-mdkABqNs I hope everything works out for you!

@@travelwgrace Thanks for your reply. Your brother is lucky. Cape Verdeans are nice people. What's it like living in the Netherlands? Pretty chilled to be honest. I have been here for years now. Initially I came here to work immediately after university for an IT company and decided to stay. England, where I was born is a short hop away by train and until Brexit, living in the Netherlands seemed like an extension of Britain. Everyone here speaks very good English. I actually look like a typical Senegalese man - quite tall, very dark black. I do not stand out in the Netherlands because most men here are tall and there is a black community here. You have the Surinam and Antillean people from the Caribbean and you have also Africans. When I first arrived in the Netherlands my very first friends were Gambian/Senegalese (Wolof) people. They made me feel welcome in a strange land and since then I have always had a soft spot for Wolof people. There are even a few Jamaicans here - my neighbour is a Jamaican! We get together sometimes and speak patois - the local dialect of Jamaica - my mother language. Anyway, I'm off now to an English pub in this Dutch city to watch the England football team play against Switzerland in the Euro 2024 competition. These games are a great get together for all of us from the UK. Take care and again - nice video!!

Haayyy! hahaha thank you!! After watching your videos last year actually gave me the push to take a travel assignment in New Mexico- so THANK YOU for sharing your travel content!!!💗

@@travelwgrace yassss sis!! Of course!

Thank you for watching!!<3 ITS ALWAYS POSSIBLE FOR YOU -If it's what you want to do! 1. If you're already licensed as a LMSW in your state that's a start. If you get a contract that is over 50miles (from your house) it's considered travel and under 50 miles is considered local. 2. Getting licenses in different states varies some states takes 10 days to receive a license and others take 6 months so it depends which state you're interested in. 3. Since most travel assignments are in hospitals, most of them require some form of inpatient experience and that experience can vary. 4. I would be happy to explore this with you! I coach other social workers & life coaching. Feel free to email me at [email protected] and we can set up a call! Wish you all the best!!🙌🏾

Thanks for watching!! I used another company - I def recommend 10/10. They were on time and were in contact with me every step of the way. Nacho Transportation Airport transportation! +52 998 231 1398

@@travelwgrace That sounds like a nice experience, but I'm confused why you didn't use the hotel's transfer service. Since the Riu is all-inclusive, I believe the transfer is included in the cost of your resort stay. Please note--I'm not here to criticize you in any way--just wondering how this came to be. Thanks.

I'm not sure if they have a tour from Las Vegas to secret you would have to call to confirm.

Yes for the tour company I toured with video and backpack were allowed!

?? Bringing a backpack was forbidden? Not the company I went with!

Yasss! Im so excited for you!! Def come back and comment how your trip went! Would love to hear about it. The excursions are located by the pool and beach entrance!

how can i ride with camels do they have that there

Thank youu for watching!! The excursions were separate and I’m not sure how much exactly but I believe the jet skis under 100 each.

Thank youuu for watching <3 I booked it through a company located on the resort. Its the booth near the pool & beach entrance! I can't think of the name of the cenote :/ after your trip feel free to comment back on how everything went! Would love to hear about it! Have fun🎊

Thank you I really appreciate the video and tips. I will definitely come back and let you know how things went for us!

@@Jerrell3189 can’t wait to hear about it!

Ahhahaha love the chowder for you! I can’t get with it lol but Yes hot & buttered takes it all! 👏🏾🎊
