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!

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Hey all, I started this bowl a couple years ago as I got into travel hacking. I going to start regular “referral posts” where everyone can share their referral links to cards, etc. if you’re going to sign up anyway, might as well give someone a referral bonus, right?! I’ll start in the comments - please post: (1) the card & bank, (2) the bonus specified by your credit card to the NEW user (not to you), (3) the link. If someone has already posted your card, just post your ref link as a reply.

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.
