Gini says:
I accompany groups on excursions into Paris and to other tourist attractions in the area. I assist the group’s Party Leader with organising their trips from breakfast in the morning, through until dinner in the evening.

I am taking a gap year from my French degree at university and wanted to spend the summer working outdoors, doing a varied and rewarding job. Each group of children that visit are different so things are never dull!

On a personal level, working for PGL has increased my self-confidence and because I’m always facing new challenges, I’ve learnt a lot about myself. Not only have I met loads of new people from around the world and made great friends, I’ve also tried things like abseiling, that I’d never done before. I’ve realised that working in an office isn’t the only option!

In the future I have to return to the UK to finish my last year of university. I’m not sure what I’ll do after that, but working for PGL has opened my eyes to lots of new options. The skills I’ve picked up can’t be taught at any college or university but they’re valuable and I’ll no doubt use them for the rest of my life.
