Benefits and Opportunities
Although my internship with Casa San Marcos was not a paid position, I gained a very indepth view of the Mexican culture, the tourism industry, and how to interact with people. Also, I received free room and board, along with the same for family and friends who wished to stay while I was working.
Achievements
Overall, I learned many new things this summer. The opportunities to grow were numerous and very interesting. Throughout the summer, I was asked daily to prepare breakfasts, make beds, clean rooms, etc.; and in all of these things a few solid concepts emerged. One was the use of communication in every aspect of the business. It was, by far, the most important piece of the guest house puzzle. Also, attention to detail was significant in the general functioning and marketing of Casa San Marcos. These two skills were emphasized over and over, which engrained them into my thoughts and actions.
