Dylan Barahona
In spring 2020, Dylan Barahona, 26, took a job renovating a tiny home village outside Albuquerque after being laid off.
He says working in the outdoor industry has helped him to be more present and develop a healthier mindset.
This is what his new career is like, as told to freelance writer Molly O Brien.
My lifelong goal has been to own and operate my own hotel. Since the age of 16, all of the steps I ve taken both personally and professionally have been geared toward making this dream a reality.
I m originally from West Palm Beach, Florida and I currently live outside of Denver, Colorado but I spent much of the past year in New Mexico helping to build a hospitality business. My background has been closely involved with the hospitality industry.
