Description

Having worked in and travelled to many parts of the world, I am now using my experience and language skills to interact with locals to get to know more places, rather than pure tourism. Thus I want to jointly with others create, build and improve. Growing up in the hotel of my parents, hospitality is one of my highest values, I learned working with horses and repairing stables and barns. Later I persued a career in international business consulting and learned how to design business plans, and how to make them work. Finally I used the Covid period to renovate my house and several apartments. Currently I work with several NGOs and associations as well as startups and spend the remaining time travelling and interacting with local people, while constantly improving my language capabilities. I am interested in politics, economics, people development and having fun and enjoying everything, I am doing.
