So I snagged one of coolest jobs a work and traveler could ask for. Receptionist at Sydney Central Yha youth hostel, one of the biggest hostels in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere sporting 550 beds, 8 floors, pool, sauna, cinema, a sweet kitchen, dinning hall, computer area library, conference room, attached restaurant and bar, yep that pimping. I got it by some stroke of luck, I wandered into the hostel with my resume and started a chat with an American girl behind the counter. We were having a chat about Maple Sugar school in Vermont she went and grabbed her manager, and a few weeks and some interviews later and i was working reception, and i could not be happier.
I found myself working with an amazing fun, hilarious cast of international staff, from New Zealand, England, America, Japan, Philippines, Thailand and all over Australia. The job is sometimes quite hard and requires endless patience, dealing with people from across the world. Along with this Job i also got accommodation in an old row house in the Rocks, Sydney's oldest neighborhood directly next to the Sydney Harbor bridge and 5 minute walk from the Opera house. So I have my own space between living with Liz and work, which is another bonus you can stay the night if you work late shifts. To top it off you can stay at any other Yha's in Australia for free, brilliant. However working at a youth hostel has its down parts, to much drinking all the time, dangerous on health and bank account.
