Finished High School in Kraków

In July 2015 I finished my high school diploma. I did not know what to study yet so I decided to do a gap year where I was working for the first 6 months at a café in my city before travelling through South – and Central America for 6 months.

Online course with Hospitality Academy to apply for the J1 Program

I learned about Hospitality Academy from a friend and new this was my chance to go and work and study abroad. Even though I did not study hospitality previously I could apply for the J1 Program by signing up to one of their online courses. I started my position at The Ritz Carlton in mid November and am currently working as a Rooms Division Trainee. I could not have made a better decision!
