Phil Waterhouse presents a study of one of the highest-rated hostels in Europe

Seville, Spain

Ioften look out for business opportunities in the things I enjoy. If you choose something that you are passionate about then you can apply the business principles that you are learning on your A-level course and turn it into a profitable venture.

A question I am sometimes asked is which of my former students has gone on to be the most successful in the world of business. Pleasingly there are a number to choose from, one of whom decided against the university route and chose to go travelling instead. This is the story of Ricky Hemelryk and La Banda — one of the highest-rated hostels in Europe.
