Languages: English, German
I have been working as a Tour Guide since 1987.In the long run, I really enjoy ,feel so happy of my job. I had once been the best guide in North Sumatera Province and now I am one of popular Senior Tour Guide for North Sumatra Province (Medan, Bohorok (Where Orang Utan Rehabilitation locates) and Lake Toba (The Third Indonesian Tourist destination).In the early period of my job I also cover West Sumatera Province. (North and West Sumatera Overland Tour).
I am a man of good personality, with a good education highly responsible with care and honest that I think would be the most important thing to support my career. I have been given so many good comments and complements by most of my clients starting from firstly I started working as a tour guide.I love history, culture, flora and fauna that many times appear to be my hot topics with my clients and my clients and I always spend our time together to continue those topics sometimes after dinner.
As a tour guide I would like to say that being responsible, care and honest would be some basic characteristic that every tour guide must possess since motto is "Client happiness and satisfaction is my paradise".
Beside being a tour guide I am also a lecturer at Medan Academic of Tourism and I have been starting this career since 1982. At the campus my subject is "Guiding Technique" where I can match between theory and practice. The combination of these to knowledge would be my supporting aspect where I can give satisfaction to my clients. So far I still believe that I really love my job and perhaps this would be my first and last job that I really love very much.
