Summary

I am a passionate 17-year-old student with a strong interest in pursuing a career in the travel industry. Having visited 18 countries, I have developed a broad understanding of global destinations, including their unique attractions, activities, architecture, and cultures. My experiences abroad have deepened my appreciation for travel and strengthened my knowledge of how the industry operates, from cruises and airlines to airports and travel logistics. Travel is a major part of who I am, and I am eager to share my knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm with others. I aspire to help people discover the excitement of exploring the world and create memorable travel experiences of their own. I am 100% a people person who loves communicating with new people and bonding with my pairs. I am enthusiastic and always ready to learn new things ! I am beyond excited at the idea of getting into the travel industry and can't wait to see what's next for me.
