Describe ‘a day in the life’ working at DYRSL in your current position.

What is a fond/funny/stand-out memory of your time here.
There have been many stand-out memories during my time here, but the most notable would be all the late-night closes early in my employment. There was always some form of entertainment taking place in those late hours which meant that some great friendships and memories were being built.
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
If I could travel anywhere in the world, my next destination would be Japan. Many of my friends have been fortunate enough to holiday there and their takeaways have always made me excited to spend some time there during snow season.
