In hospitality roles, I have developed a strong focus on guest satisfaction, flexibility and teamwork in fast-paced environments.I am comfortable taking responsibility, responding calmly to changing situations and ensuring guests feel welcomed, informed and well-cared for throughout their experience.
I am fluent in English (C2) and Spanish (C2), my mother is Spanish and my father British and I have experience working in multilingual environments.I possess a B1 level of Italian and I am currently learning Norwegian as a beginner at A1 level.I am highly motivated to expand my guiding skills through your online education and on-site training, and I am eager to deepen my knowledge of Norway’s landscapes, culture and points of interest.I am available to work full-time throughout the season from April to September and am flexible regarding assignments.Moreover, I am relocating to Ålesund in March 2026 and I already have arranged my accommodation.
I am particularly drawn to this role because it combines cultural exchange, education, nature as well as practically applying my linguistic skills.I am fascinated by Norway and its cultural/historical background as well as its impressive landscapes and commitment to its preservation.I would be delighted to return for future seasons and grow with the company.
Thank you very much for considering my application.I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to your team.
