In the end of 2008 I was still working as a consultant (project coordinator) within the automotive industry in Gothenburg. But then the crisis hit us and I, as several hundreds of other people, lost my job. Just before Christmas actually...
But since I'm a strong opportunists, I only saw this as a chance to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life...
When I was scanning the market for other jobs and trying to figure out what to do, I found a add about 7 months youth practice within renewable energy in Nicaragua.
How about that!! My eyes almost popped out and my ecological and environmental antennas were about to catch fire. This was exactly what I was looking for!!! A chance, not only to get some hands on experience within the renewable energy area, but also a splendid opportunity to really live, sleep and eat the life of another culture. And also to learn another language!
I found the add via www.ams.se and VFSN homepage
And the only criteria was:
-You have to be within the age 20-30 years old
-Have experience or a big interest in renewable energy, electricity and/or gender equality
-Basic Spanish
-Be able to work physical and sometimes quite heavy
Just hours before deadline, I applied!
