I am most looking forward to finding out about the Australian way of life; the culture and general atmosphere. I have heard so many amazing things about Australia from friends and family, so going there myself will hopefully prove to be a new and exciting experience where I can meet people from different backgrounds and learn about Australian culture. I aim to work all over the world in the future, so starting in Australia seems to present itself as a perfect start!

I really hope that I come out of this placement with a sense of achievement, knowing I did the best job I could. Also I want to learn the ins and outs of working in a top end hotel as I don’t know if this is the area of hospitality I want to build a career in.

Amy has some very good F&B experience and has applied for a six month placement in the Whitsundays to start in November (just in time for summer).
