Learning hospitality by doing

No degree, 150 gadgets and a plush hamburger.

My very first job, apart from working for my father, was on the opening team of TGI Fridays Budapest. I did my best to outdo the waiters on TV: about 150 gadgets on me, from a camo hat with little Lego men crawling all over it to a plush hamburger and fries on my apron, plus pins, badges and everything in between.

I had no formal training in hospitality. I just loved hanging out with foreigners, and I made plenty of friends in the expat community and among foreign students.
