Working at M.E.P.

"I think this experience was really amazing and every one should do it once in their life. Working at M.E.P. gave me the opportunity not only to generally improve my theoretical knowledge, but also to grow as a person. When I first arrived here I didn’t know what to expect and I was a little afraid I wouldn’t fit in a team of so many people, but now I’m glad to say that among these people I foundsome good friends who I’m really sad to leave now. Working here gave me the possibility to interact with so many different people and, in doing so, I acquired more self-confidence and learnt how to trust myself more. Even if at the beginning I was shy with the groups, in the end I really enjoyed working with every single one of them and I think that the experience as a tour guide around Granada and other major Andalusian cities was really positive. I found particularly interesting discovering how a European project is created and now I’m even more sure that in the future I’d love to work in the international relations field. Living for the first time abroad, alone, in a city where most people didn’t speak my language has been amazing: I loved every single aspect of it and I’m looking forward to doing another experience like this. Working at M.E.P., with an international team, and having frequent contact with people from other countries, getting to know something more about their culture, was the “cherry on top of the cake”, as they say. I must say that by doing this internship I realised one of my dreams and I reached many goals I set myself: living abroad alone for a while, improving my language skills both in English and in Spanish, making new friends and gaining an important job experience. I’m grateful for this opportunity and for having met such great people."

Working for MEP

"I have enjoyed every aspect of working with the groups; every excursion, every group, at any time and in any weather and it is why I always volunteered myself to do extra trips with them, for example at the weekends and if another member of staff did not want to do it. I feel like I have taken advantage of every opportunity given to me and I have always worked my hardest to complete every task in an efficient and timely manner. I have loved working in an international office and I will miss everybody when I leave. I believe that the experience of being a tour guide has been extremely positive and I would like to do something similar to this in the future. I enjoyed the challenge of doing things I had never done before and although I had to do all of the tours alone for the first time as there were lots of groups here, I feel that this “thrown in the deep end” approach only encouraged me to prepare myself and work harder.  Thank you for the opportunity and for allowing me to see so many beautiful places, not only in Granada but in Andalucía also."

In my opinion it was the best experience in my life because I learned how to integrate in a 

different society and to have a life far from home. 

It was an incredible experience because I learned to speak a new language, interact with 

another culture and other people. I also learned how is it to have a job in Spain and live 

here.

In conclusion, I believe that this project helped me a lot in taking future decisions.
