I am a retired airline staff member, and this place is a part of my retirement plan. I started my career in the Hotel Industry, and I am now back to the same field after retirement. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures and creating memories through travel is a common interest for many people and I am not an exception. Regular physical activities such as walking and gardening are part of my daily routine. Building and maintaining relationships with family and friends (including new friends) is important to me and it was one of the reasons that I wanted to run this hotel after my retirement.
