If someone is thinking about going abroad and finding their own way \u2013 do it, it\u2019s very good!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To begin with, who is Gloria and how would you describe yourself in three words?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Gloria is 18 year old girl from Kostarika. I would describe myself as a hardworking, persistent and open minded person.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You are a student of Aspira\u2019s Hospitality and Tourism Management. What were your motives for enrolling?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I always knew I wanted to study abroad, but didn\u2019t know what. When I found out what I want to study, I started searching right away. While searching, I found out about Aspira and Croatia. Split was very complementing with my wishes so I decided to come here.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. How satisfied are you so far with your studies, professors, but also with your engagement?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I am really satisfied, professors are really taking interests in teaching, I enjoy being here.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What would you like to do in the future?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          I would love to have my own hotel. Since I was little, I knew I want to work for myself, running a hotel, even a small one. I don\u2019t know where – anywhere life takes me.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Relying on that question, where do you see yourself in 5 years?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Probably still studying and hopefully working in some context of hospitality and tourism.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Apart from studying, do you have any other hobbies?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              I\u2019m playing ukulele and I love to read, I read a lot. Besides that, I also love learning languages \u2013 I\u2019m speaking Spanish, English and French.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. How much do your friends, colleagues, but also lecturers at Aspira motivate you to study?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                They definitely have an impact, but I think I\u2019m still the main one. Professors motivates me more, they are very professional at doing their job, I really feel like I\u2019m actually learning. On the other hand, colleagues in that aspect not so much.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. What in your life motivated you the most to be the person you are today?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  I find myself as an independent person, but I would say – my family. They are giving me a lots of advices, even though I don\u2019t listen to them all the time, but I definitely take them into consideration. They motivate me the most. I have a sister and I always looked up to her. She is my motive for thinking about something, and my parents, mostly my dad, are my motive for actually doing something.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. What would you say to young people who are in a similar situation as you?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    I would say it\u2019s a big step, but it\u2019s worth it. If someone is thinking about going abroad and finding their own way \u2013 do it, it\u2019s very good.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. What were your motives for going abroad?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      I love different cultures. Living in them is very different than being a tourist, in this way you live as if you are a local.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Do you like the locals, culture, environment?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Yes, pretty much. People are very helping, not cold. I really like it here.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        Thank you, Gloria! We want you to become exactly what you wished for, with Aspira holding your back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
