26 • LMGI COMPASS | Fall 2019 to see doing some other job. And the sense of gratification I feel every time I finish a project, especially a difficult and demanding one. But most of all, I love meeting new people. People who tell me stories and who give sense to the places I visit. Stevie: WHAT ONE PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF OR SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT IN THIS PROFESSION? MS: 1. When looking for locations, always ask questions. 2. Never say no to a coffee. 3. Always talk to strangers; you might get another location just by listening to what they have to say. 4. If you have a weekend off, enjoy it to the fullest. You never know when there'll be another one. 5. If you struggle to find a location, take a break and wait. Good things always come to those who can wait. Stevie: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE LMGI & HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER? MS: The decision was made about three years ago when I first heard about LMGI. It was in Łód´z and I was a tour guide showing my town to a group of location managers on an LMGI Fam Tour. I officially became a member in January 2019.
