Introduce Yourself

Josh started this discussion 17 years 11 months ago

Hi,

I worked in hostels for many years and realized that there weren't many resources for people who run hostels or who want to open a hostel. I hope that you enjoy the site and find it useful. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site better, please let me know. My goal is to create a resource that will promote hostels and hostelling, especially in places where hostelling is not as common (e.g., here in the USA). Post in this section to introduce yourself to the other forum users.

Hello all,

My name's dependent on who you ask but I go by AJ, I'm new to Hostelry but not to Hospitality in general.

Currently I'm pursuing a management role in the UK with my Fiancée who has far more experience of Hostelry than I do. I've signed up in the hopes that I can learn much from others who know a great deal about the industry and use that to increase my chances of landing the Hospitality job that will fulfill me as no other yet has!

High expectations I know but I'm confident, having seen some of the great advice in the blog and forums thus far.

Looking forward to getting to know you girls and guys :)

Hello everybody!

My name is Marcus Vinícius, a 35 years old Brazilian man with 7 years of experience in Hospitality and for the first time, managing a Hostel (Rio Soul Hostel, Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro).
It's a matter of fact that, once you've worked as receptionist or in any other position being in a Hostel/Hotel, you know pretty much how hard is the life of a professional on this field. Anyways, I found this website whilst searching on Google and since then, I learned a lot of good tips and hints and hopefully after sorting out all the problems here in the Hostel, I want to begin something similar as this site in a blog format but in portuguese, as we have a massive community of Hostels in Brasil but the lack of information it's just annoying and you end up getting frustrated.
So, thanks very much for the ones investing their precious time helping out people like me, I'm looking forward to meet new people and change experiences about Hostel Management.

Grande abraço a todos!

I Love traveling and meeting new people, I'd like to find a job or volunteer in exchange for accommodation in a hostel in San Fransisco in july 2014. I speak fluently english, spanish, french and dutch. I worked a lot as hostess in many events for many brands for student jobs, it's a good experience and it will be usefull for this new one. I can learn to be a receptionist, help with the kitchen, lead pub-crawls and more... Please contact me if you have any tips or questions. Thank you all!
