A 4 star hotel? pretty much every holiday i've ever taken has been 5 star... there's not really much difference in prices to go to the latter over a 5 star.

I was born in Sheffield 1990, moved to work in Dubai in 2010 for a jewellery company, bought majority shares in the company 5 years later, the company blew up after a smart investment in bitcoin, reinvested in marketing and brought on better stock (now earning great dividends) and now I work part time consultancy for a partnered branch in the seychelles, not a billionaire lifestyle but better than any part of leeds and most 4 star hotels thats for sure.

The company really wanted a graduate for the position, but after months of searching they couldn't find one graduate who could screw together an electric plug, I shit you not.
