Je pensais venir sur l’\u00eele de Majorque pour seulement quatre mois, faire mon stage et puis rentrer chez moi. Mais au lieu de cela, je suis devenue une v\u00e9ritable experte de la destination et, \u00e0 la fin, mes coll\u00e8gues m’ont m\u00eame dit que j’\u00e9tais devenue une vraie Mallorquine. In this blog, I will tell you how I fell in love with the island and how I became the top BENE (Belgium & Netherlands) representative in my area, Playa de Palma. Get ready to discover Mallorca through my eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J’ai travaill\u00e9 comme repr\u00e9sentante d’h\u00f4tel \u00e0 Majorque, une \u00eele que j’oserais presque appeler ma deuxi\u00e8me maison. Mon travail consistait principalement \u00e0 accompagner les touristes, \u00e0 r\u00e9soudre leurs questions et probl\u00e8mes, et \u00e0 leur pr\u00e9senter les plus beaux aspects de l’\u00eele \u00e0 travers des excursions. Upon arrival at the hotel, I welcomed new guests, explained their stay, and made them feel right at home. During the first few days, I organized information sessions where I enthusiastically shared all that Mallorca had to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les excursions que je vendais \u00e9taient toutes uniques. Il y avait par exemple l’Island Tour, o\u00f9 les touristes pouvaient d\u00e9couvrir les magnifiques paysages de l’\u00eele avec le vieux train de S\u00f3ller, un tram et un bateau. C’\u00e9tait l’une de mes pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es. Une autre excursion que j’ai beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9e \u00e9tait Rancho Grande. Les touristes pouvaient y faire de l’\u00e9quitation \u00e0 travers la r\u00e9serve naturelle, monter dans un wagon \u00e0 sangria ou simplement profiter d’une soir\u00e9e typique de cow-boy avec barbecue, danse et animation. L’ambiance \u00e9tait toujours g\u00e9niale, et j’aimais voir comment tout le monde se laissait emporter par l’ambiance western.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palma, the capital, I proudly showed, from the impressive cathedral to the cozy shopping streets. And when we headed north, we admired the views from Cap de Formentor or strolled through charming Alc\u00fadia. Families could also come to me for fun trips to water parks, where I often saw children running around with big smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon travail n’\u00e9tait pas toujours simple. Parfois, il y avait des plaintes concernant les transferts ou les chambres d’h\u00f4tel, et je devais alors r\u00e9agir rapidement et professionnellement. C’\u00e9tait un d\u00e9fi, mais j’ai remarqu\u00e9 que je devenais de plus en plus dou\u00e9e pour g\u00e9rer les situations difficiles. Ma connaissance des langues s’est \u00e9norm\u00e9ment d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e, car je parlais quotidiennement l’anglais, le fran\u00e7ais et parfois m\u00eame un peu l’allemand ou l’espagnol. Et bien que je travaillais de mani\u00e8re autonome, je pouvais aussi compter sur mes coll\u00e8gues. Nous avons construit une belle relation et partag\u00e9 des conseils et des histoires, ce qui rendait le tout un peu plus l\u00e9ger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This internship not only gave me a lot of practical experience but also more self-confidence, independence, and perseverance. I didn’t just get to know Mallorca as a destination, but also as a place where I got to know myself better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll sometimes feel like you’re in Texas and sometimes you’ll think you’re in the Caribbean islands because of the beautiful beaches. This island is the whole world in one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
