“Living in the lap of luxury isn’t bad except that you never know when luxury is going to stand up.”
~Orson Welles
Hi there! Thank you for finding you way here! My Name is Bobby Makiado, and I have spent most of my professional career grinding it out in luxury hospitality, serving, observing, and apologizing to those who stay at such places.
In 2019 I sat down for a little cathartic healing and begin typing my thoughts on this unforgiving and ridiculous industry, and the result was Escaping Luxury, a humorous novel about hospitality absurdity, high crime, and a poisonous pufferfish named Zippy.
After years of serving the world’s entitled, this semi true novel, and my website, is a tribute to all those who humbly serve others in the face of unkind, absurd, and ungrateful behavior often found in this industry. And it’s for those who long for fulfillment, adventure and purpose in life, just as I do.
Join me, B-Maks, and my team of hospitality liberators! It will be my intent to keep writing, and my mission to share stories, ideas, feelings, adventure and other thoughts to #savetheservicestaff, dream big, and pursue a life of fulfillment, even if that is just for an hour, or a weekend, or longer. If I’m lucky, I’ll find myself in a van, down by the river. Follow my blog or find me on twitter or instagram @bobbymakiado.
