Summary
With over a decade of experience in the tourism industry across various countries, I have honed my skills primarily in the recreational diving sector as a dive instructor and manager. Additionally, I have successfully managed a hostel in an idyllic location. My passion for the industry led me to discover tour guiding, a role I embraced enthusiastically for its challenges, exposure, and opportunities for continuous learning and growth. For the past year and a half, I have been working as a driver guide and plan to continue pursuing this path
