"My true passion in life is meeting new people and travelling. That is why I have chosen a career in Travel and Tourism. After finishing my National Diploma in Travel and Tourism I have travelled through Europe and volunteered in various sectors. In the summer of 2014 I was employed as a Walk Organiser with Collett’s Mountain Holidays. Working with this company gave me a passion for one on one interaction with guests. I understand the responsibility of giving an excellent holiday experience and I always work to a high standard. I aim to constantly be adventurous and out-going and I am curious by nature so I am always looking to learn about new cultures and people. I was then employed by Busabout, which really opened my eyes to how great being a fully trained guide could be. The work, while incredibly difficult, was just as equally rewarding. However, after two years of guiding I have decided to expand my knowledge and credentials and am currently studying Tourism Management and Spanish at Greenwich University. In September I will be moving to Alicante in Spain to attend university there."
