It takes some courage to live and work on another continent for an indefinite period of time. Ivan Breiter
Ivan Breiter graduated from the EHL Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality in Passugg (EHL SSTH), where he already came into contact with different cultures during his everyday studies. At the hotel management school he learned to approach each other, which he sees today as the basis for a successful career abroad.
After his hotel management studies, he completed several post-school internships in hotels and tourism organizations and then took a job with Switzerland Tourism. First he had to earn his spurs at the headquarters in Switzerland, but then he was offered a position first in North America, and then in Singapore.
In the meantime, the once big, wide world has become mine. I can only encourage the hotel management students at EHL SSTH to take the plunge after graduation.
The change at the beginning is not easy, Ivan Breiter also admits. You have to create a new social environment from scratch, some things are a bit more difficult, more expensive or otherwise different than you imagined. Working abroad certainly requires openness and flexibility. But that is exactly the attraction of such a life, you learn infinitely much about others, but especially about yourself. A school of life.
