CARYS MAI HUGHES

Summary

Seeking employment as a Ride Leader and Event Host/ Coordinator.


I am a dependable, bubbly, and energetic extrovert, with a warm, kind, and positive personality, enthusiastic work ethic, and excellent interpersonal skills.


I have cycle toured extensively through the Swiss, French, and Italian Alps, the Dolomites, Picos, Pyrenees, Swiss and Italian Lakes, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, the Algarve, the South of Spain and France, and parts of the States. Needless to say, I love cycling, and therefore come equipped with cycle knowledge, etiquette, banter...and plenty of it.


Additionally, I have over 19 years of experience working in the hospitality and events industry, and believe these experiences, alongside my passion for the great outdoors, mountains, coastlines, and good food will make me a valuable asset to your team.
