Being in hospitality such as high-end restaurants, nightclubs, etc. It was definitely a unique experience where you get to work with a very diverse set of people … where you’re able to learn something new and interesting every single day not only about the job itself but in general about the lifestyle in different parts of the world.

I was born and raised in Pristina, Kosovo/Albania, and moved to United States when I was 20. Now, 10 years after, Miami became my home far away from home.

I was always into sports, so my dream was to be an athlete to be more exact a basketball player.

Later, I pursued basketball, which was my biggest dream to be the first Albanian player to step foot in the NBA. That didn’t quite work out due to a few injuries and lack of infrastructure back home, so I decided to be a fan of the beautiful game off the pitch.

Would be unfair to mention one. One of the things I fall in love with South Florida every single day is the meal choices we have here and the mixture of all cultures, feels like you’re taking different flights from one continent to the other.

The Villa, Casa Casuarina. Built in 1930 by architect and author Alden Freeman, the South Beach apartment-turned-hotel went by various names over the years and was inspired by the Alcazar De Colon in Santo Domingo. It originally featured interiors by Addison Mizner. Gianni Versace played a huge role in reviving the property before eventually parting ways with what many still refer to as the Versace Mansion.

That I speak fluent three different languages (English, Spanish, Albanian) and learned Spanish back home watching Hispanic TV series with my mom and my sisters.

Las Vegas. Everything about Vegas is fascinating from the casinos, attractions, cities within a city such as Venice, New York, Paris, etc. Adventure rides, Hoover Dam.

It’s unique. #vivalasvegas
