🌍 A Journey Through Hospitality, Sales, and Entrepreneurship When I look back at my career, I realize how much diversity and learning each role has brought me—from managing a pub in Milan, to organizing events, guiding winery tours in Siena, running a pizza restaurant in London, and eventually starting my own Airbnb business in Tuscany. Each step taught me something unique about people, experiences, and creating value. One of the key lessons I’ve learned is this: hospitality isn’t just about offering a service; it’s about creating a story that guests will carry with them long after they leave. Whether it’s helping a visitor discover the perfect bottle of wine or ensuring a family feels at home in an unfamiliar place, the little details make the biggest difference. Running my own Airbnb in the heart of Tuscany has given me a new perspective. Balancing guest expectations, maintaining a property, and ensuring a seamless experience has been challenging—but incredibly rewarding. It’s taught me the power of adaptability and empathy in building lasting relationships. I’m curious: What do you think is the most important element of a memorable guest experience? Whether you're in hospitality, sales, or another industry, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let’s exchange ideas and stories. 🌟 #hospitality #sales #entrepreneurship #leadership #tuscany #guestexperience
