Travel and tourism management courses
I had amazing work experience opportunities on cruise ships and at tourist attractions across Far North Queensland. It was great to gain that industry insight and hands-on training.
My advice is to be open to new ideas and ways of doing things because they can get you to where you want to be in a roundabout way. The journey to get to your goal can be incredibly rewarding and a lot of fun.
