My colleague Katya talked about her experience working in the United States under the Work & Travel program.

But most remembered was the return to Russia after a six-month absence. I worked in the service sector, and all the six months the duty smile did not disappear from my face. When I arrived and went to the customs, my first reaction was to smile friendly to the employee. With an unstoppable poker face, he asked, “Are you from the United States? "I looked at the stamp in my passport and sneered at my smile: "You stop this matter. Welcome to Russia!” So I realized that I was already home.
