Running into a quaint little stall, I realized the name it held was one of the most distinguished brands in the luxury hotel business. Surprised at the intimate size of the tent, I ended up sharing a conversation with the lady and gentleman sitting calmly in the stall for around 45 minutes, without even the intention of hunting for a job. About a month or so later, I find myself back here in the Caribbean, as an Assistant Guest Relations Manager for Amanyara. One of the most exclusive hotels in the world! It is truly surprising what life has in store for you, if you look in the right places with the right attitude, and actually make an effort...At first it was a serious challenge to work 11 hours a day, or 12 days in a row. After almost 6 months, the hours fly. I actually want to stay longer. I feel like there is always so much more to be done. It’s exciting in a way, and also highly motivating when guests and your colleagues also appreciate hard work.
