My name is Nicholas Fuhrmann,and I am from Perth,Western Australia.Perhaps you haven’t heard much about my hometown compared with Sydney or Melbourne,however I think the beaches in Perth,not to mention the burgeoning music and culinary scene are among the best in the world.
From an early age I developed an interest in studying foreign languages and so this lead me to eventually major in Chinese and Japanese at the University of Western Australia.By the time I had graduated I had visited Japan several times and studied at Zhejiang University and in Beijing in China.
It seemed natural to me that I should look for a career in Asia,and I was lucky to have the opportunity to do a Management Traineeship in Chongqing,at Le Meridien Hotel.I followed this career for several years,being promoted to Assistant Restaurant Manager at Le Meridien,and then moving to Guangzhou to work as a Restaurant Manager at Hilton DoubleTree.I feel very proud of my achievements in the Hospitality industry,however I felt a need to pursue my passion for training and education,and so I decided to try my hand at teaching English.
