Staff communities are usually very social as these remote, live-in positions tend to attract a certain type of person looking for an adventure beyond the norm. There is usually someone around to hang out with or go exploring with.
What do we mean by exploring? Many of our resorts, hotels, lodges, and roadhouses are in some really unique areas. Your RDOs might be spent climbing through an ancient gorge, paddling the ocean (or a creek), barra fishing in crocodile-infested waters, spotlighting your way through a cave, sleeping under the stars.
The downside is that you’re likely to feel pretty uncomfortable the first few days, until you get to know a few people. Then they’ll help you meet everyone else. And yes, you’ll miss your family/friends back home but it won’t be long until your new work-mates start to fill that gap.
