122 - Monica Orrego on moving country, changing career and falling in love with the incredible apple isle

Behind every great host, there's often an even greater back-room support team and Monica Orrego and her team at Thriving Tasmania are just that.

Following her bold, brave move from Colombia to Australia in 2012, Monica has worn many hats in the hospitality sector including housekeeper, host and, building on her original career in accounting and finance, administration and strategy extraordinaire.

In recent times, she's been lapping up life in Tasmania, including setting up her own 'back-room' operations business supporting hospitality and tourism professionals, Thriving Tasmania, and recently joining the Short Term Accommodation Association of Australia as one of their two Tasmanian committee members.

Please enjoy what turned out to be a very warm and refreshing chat.
