CHALLENGES

I had my current job offer that I accepted back in November become revoked. This leads me to the challenge that not many hospitality companies are hiring right now and that leads me without a job after graduating. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Currently, it is difficult because there are no tourists. That means no income for our accommodation providers and consequently no tourist tax for us. No one knows how long the quarantine in different countries will last and no one knows how much money we will get throughout this year. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

For me, the COVID-19 pandemic wasn't that bad. I founded my own hockey goalie camp, become a professional coach and learned a lot in the last month. Of course, there are many people who struggle now in their life and have a lot of problems. But in the end, you have to get up and make profit out of every situation in life. (October, 2020)
