"I feel extremely lucky to have had a chance to experience living and working abroad so early in my career and look forward to seeing what my remaining time here has in store."
"It was clear who the new person in the office was, and it didn’t take long before someone kindly gifted me an umbrella, holding back a laugh."
"What continues to surprise me on a daily basis is how unbelievably friendly everybody is, be it in the office or around the City. This has made settling in incredibly easy and I already feel like I have been here for months."
"The role has given me the perfect opportunity to get out and about to learn the market as well as build relationships with agents and clients. "
The Asia-Pacific is an incredibly important region for Savills and I feel very grateful to have been given the opportunity to experience this part of the business at the very beginning of my career with Savills.
"I have been in Tokyo for just under a month and there wasn’t much I could do to mentally prepare myself for the cultural shock. Having worked in London for a year and a half I am aware of working in a high energy environment however it is no match for the fluorescent lights, hidden underground bars and crazy road crossings of Japan. The energy is not overt or in your face but it is certainly present and hard to miss."
