Hi Everyone
Welcome to my website. I’m currently in my 4th week of training at the AOT Group, as part of our training they send us away to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast for a famil (familiarization) to visit properties (hotels & apartments) and conduct a site inspection, which involves seeing 2 – 3 different rooms, depending on their availability and seeing all the facilities the property has to offer. Plus we also get to visit a couple of the local attractions.
Last weekend we had our very first famil of visiting the Gold Coast. All transfers, accommodation & meals were paid for. It was a fantastic weekend away with a great bunch of people (13 of us).
Simon made me this website so I can post all of my pictures and document my famils.
Enjoy browsing!!
