What’s it like entering hospitality as part of the new generation? In Room 107, I sit down with Dayana — originally from Colombia, now working in Europe — to talk about her journey across three continents, leaving home at 22, and how travel changes your view of life and work.

We chat about adapting to different cultures, generational differences in the workplace, the pros and cons of growing up with tech, and what keeps her motivated in an industry that never stops changing.

A warm, honest conversation about growth, courage, and choosing your own path.

In this first episode of our new Lobby Talks series, Šárka joins me again — not for an interview, but for a deeper conversation about hospitality beyond the surface.

We explore:

🔹 Burnout and the importance of real holidays

🔹 Multitasking and mental load

🔹 Healthy conflict at work

🔹 Remote roles in hospitality — future or fiction?

Lobby Talks is where we slow down and reflect on the philosophy, challenges, and lived experiences that shape our industry.
