Hello there!
I am currently travelling Australia to get into local life, culture and unique natural places. I am quite handy at many things, a quick learner and not picky on jobs - so I would love to help out, wherever a hand is needed and appreciated - to gain new knowledge, widen my horizon and make new experiences.
A friendly, reliable, hard-working and well-organized teamplayer comes with 12 years of 5*hospitality experience in all areas, mainly in event service, guest relations and sales, but capable from serving coffee, breakfast and 3-course-dinners to cleaning rooms, reception tasks, marketing and social media. Very good behind a bar from extra shifts in local tab and cocktail bars.
Growing up in a rural farm area, with dogs, cats, rabbit, sheep, being chased around by a calf, riding horses for about 8 years, living and working in the jungle of Borneo for 6 months and recently helping out on a Farm(stay) in VIC, I am drawn to nature and wildlife and love getting my hands dirty – So additionally I come with a bit of experience of outdoor work, farmwork and horses, gardening, planting, pruning and light machinery work.
I am a humorous, calm, warm-hearted and creative soul, who loves to live life to the fullest and see as much of the world as its showing to me, not always taking everything too serious. Always a smile in the face, having a good time, with good beings, listening to life time stories and good music.

I've worked in hospitality since many years, starting with
-kitchen hand during high school
-bartender in the evenings
-certified hotel professional (3 years apprentice)
- 10 years in event sales and service management in 5 star hotels in a leading role
- duty manager
-Until lately working as a partner relation manager with a NGO, who inspired a different way of interacting and travelling in my homecity, organizing events, to bring people back together and make them use their synergies.
So I am definetly bringing knowledge from a wide range of jobs from bar tending, guest service, sales and marketing, events, leading teams to cleaning toilets and serving Michelin star dinners, apart from some stories to tell 😁
Besides that I spent 6 months in the jungles of Borneo in a voluntary project saving the rainforest by building guest accommodation, doing regular jungle trekking offering tours and living a fully sustainable life style with the indigenous folks.
I am clean and love to organize things, and am good at quality management and improving business structures going as far as green management...
I can also help you with basic setup of booking.com, social media and a website if you need ( I know more than I want to - but I am not too much into that social media influencer world)
