My First Season

My guest today and I worked together in Club Med Paradise Island in 2003/2004 where she was the choreographer, but her first season was in Club Med Sandpiper in October of 2001 as a Reception G.O. Everyone, please help me welcome, originally from New York and Montreal (yes, I’m claiming her) and now living in Las Vegas, Gabrielle LoRe Seidenberg! Gaby had quite the journey to Club Med. She was working in Montreal, won a staff contest for a trip for two to Club Med Ibiza in Spain and then started working for BMW on the European leg of the Formula One circuit, before answering an open audition call for Club Med that took place in Montreal. We’ll talk how Gaby went from reception to choreographer and the culture shock of seeing so many men in Speedos in the main restaurant during her first season. Fair warning, Gaby and I teased each other quite a lot in Paradise Island (all in good fun) and I’m happy to tell you that she can still hit the ‘ole fastball 18 years later. Also, she’s married to the Coney Island Striker, so there’s that too. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Gaby also hosted the one-year anniversary episode of My First Season (February 8 2022) and was awesome!! Please take a listen!
