I am tour guide, hear me roar

Just a quick note cause I am buggered.

Tom and I both passed the test last Friday (with minor comments to work on certain speeches etc.) We both got scheduled for this week.

Gave my first tour today! It was actually a lot of fun though I was pretty nervous at the beginning. It definitely improved as it went along. For those who don't know I work for a free tour company, meaning the tourists pay nothing and I'm not paid by the company. I actually have to pay the company 2.50 per person that comes and then my earnings are tips alone.

I made €147.68 today :)
Not bad for 3.5 hours work! I am pretty pleased. Except for the bitch that tipped me the 68 cents lol.

The tour wasn't perfect, of course I missed a few things but it wasn't bad for my first go. My next tour (and Tom's first) is on Sunday so I have a few recovery days lol. Then off to Disney land tomorrow :D

Love Amanda

You are coming home to medical school - no matter how much you can make as a tour guide!

Nicely done. That's a lot of money to be made from a free tour guide gig. Enjoy Disneyland!
