I spent nearly 30 years in hotel management.
My job as a hospitality manager started right out of university.
This was what I always wanted to do & I was doing it. The honeymoon with that first task lasted less then a month. The reality to managing in the hospitality industry is much uncommon from all the dreams or exotic locations & the nice life. For sure, I saw plenty of that although I was generally always working as I was witnessing all those examples of the nice life. The truth is there just isn’t much time for kicking back & good in the air conditioner when you’re in the hotel business. It’s a real grind in fact that ended up costing myself and others my first marriage among the several other relationships I didn’t have time to nurture. So when I got married again, this time to a job hotel girl, it was crucial for us to find a balance. All of us decided to ditch our corporate gigs in favor of starting our own lodging venture. This led us to buy some pristine land & open up a Yurt village, then yurts are basically large tents that lay on frames built on a platform. They can range from the elaborate to the certainly basic. Our vision was anywhere in between. So both of us certainly wanted some form of heating & cooling to keep our guests comfortable no matter the season. So both of us ended up going with ductless heat pumps for our yurts & it worked out wonderfully. The ductless heat pump provides exceptional heating & cooling separate from taking up much space. And this venture certainly is the slice of the nice life that I’d been looking for all these years.
