ICYMI: HomeToGo travelers across ALL markets can now compensate for the carbon emissions associated with their vacation rental stays ♻️🏠 Thanks to our tailor-made product powered by SQUAKE - the end-to-end ClimateTech solution for sustainable travel - HomeToGo guests around the world are empowered to make more environmentally responsible travel decisions. 💚 How does it work?💡 Integrated into HomeToGo’s post-booking journey, SQUAKE’s solution calculates an individual vacation rental booking’s carbon emissions and offers travelers the option to compensate for them. SQUAKE has built a unique calculation algorithm that’s specific to the vacation rental industry - which evaluates based on travel-specific input factors such as destination, rental size, number of guests, and more - to ensure compensation accuracy. All compensation collected contributes to the development of 14Trees, an environmental project in Malawi that builds 3D printed affordable housing from material sourced on site (soil, sand, cement, and water), saving 14 trees per house built. 🌳 HomeToGo is proud to offer this solution to our guests, but we know it’s only one step towards a more sustainable travel ecosystem. There’s more work to be done and we’re always on the lookout for ways to be greener and smarter in everything we do. 🌎 Learn more about HomeToGo’s partnership with SQUAKE at the link in our comments 👇 #hometogo #squake #travel #sustainable #sustainabletravel #vacationrentals #green #greentravel #sustainability #futureoftravel

Meet Lara, Finance Assistant at HomeToGo! 👋 Lara started her HomeToGo career as a Finance Intern in 2022, and has since been promoted (twice! 🔥) to a Finance Assistant. Learn more about Lara and her career path below. Interested in starting your own Finance career? We’re looking for a Working Student to join our talented team! Check out the open role at the link in our comments. 🚀 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮? Hi, I’m Lara. Originally from a small town in Eastern Germany 🇩🇪, I moved to Berlin almost 5 years ago and joined HomeToGo as a Finance Intern in July 2022. After my internship, I continued as a Working Student and eventually started my first full-time position at HomeToGo after graduating. In my free time, I enjoy exploring different cultures through traveling or trying all kinds of restaurants. In addition, I’ve recently picked up swimming as a new hobby, which I can do for free thanks to HomeToGo’s Gympass benefit! 🏊♀️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞? Starting a career in finance can be both challenging and rewarding, and it’s essential to stay open to learning. Gain practical experience through internships and Working Student positions during your studies to apply your theoretical knowledge and build your network. 📖  It’s also helpful to develop strong analytical skills and knowledge in financial tools: During my time at HomeToGo, I’ve had the chance to participate in the implementation of a new ERP system, which was a game changer for advancing my skill set. Also having the opportunity to take part in mentorship programs, like HomeToGo’s, has helped me develop both professionally and personally. 🤝 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐓𝐨𝐆𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝? Having worked at start-ups before, I was impressed by HomeToGo’s ability to combine the agility, innovative spirit, and culture of a start-up with the stability and resources of a public company. 🚀 This dynamic environment, as well as the atmosphere on my team and in the office, has allowed me to grow on a professional and personal level, while empowering me to take on more responsibility and ownership. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭? My next holidays are booked for Prague and the Côte d’Azur, but top of my bucket list are definitely South Africa, Japan and the Caribbean Islands. 🌍
