I still remember the day that I had the interview with the HR director of LMMS. From that day and onwards I started a wonderful “trip” within the hospitality industry. Being a part of the management trainee program of Le Meridien Mina Seyahi is a unique and enjoyable experience. Working together with people from different cultures is a life time lesson and a challenge.  Closing I would like to borrow one phrase of the great Greek philosopher Aristotelis. “Whatever we have to learn to do, we learn it by doing”
