The idea of working with guests from all over the world was what drew me into hospitality. I love sitting at my desk and not knowing which language I'll have to use to talk to the person in front of me. I find it exhilarating.

I work for a major hotel chain that has hotels in every continent (besides Antarctica, of course) and we have a package of benefits which includes relocation to anywhere we want. It's not that straightforward but in general I can't wait until I get to that stage of the job!

I've always dreamed about managing a team, but a regular industry never caught my attention. When I interviewed for my first hotel job, I realized this was exactly what I needed due to the amount of people who work in a hotel. It just seemed so fun!
