For my internship abroad I am currently living in Tenerife at the Canary islands and will stay until February. So there is no snow for me that winter.

Christmas Celebrations
The next day it was time for presents. Because my Mum and my Dad aren't living together I had to get up early to have lunch with my Mum and go to my Dad afterwards. Fortunately they are living in the same village. So I got up and had a short breakfast with my Mum - I...

Start into the Second Adventure
The excitement before the adventure In February I received the positive answer about my internship application at Tenerife. That was during my time in France and I was so excited! So during the following 5 months I was trying to find out as much as possible about my...

One week of holidays
Finding an apartment Before my internship started I had 10 days of holidays - perfect opportunity to discover the city and the small island a bit. But first I had to go to the real estate agency because I only had 2 weeks in the hotel and wanted to look for an...

And it starts..
An then it's the 3rd of August - the first day of my internship at Tenerife. I could hardly sleep the night before and I was very, very excited! All the weeks before I tried to imagine how it might look like in the office, how the people might be like, what I would be...

Time passes quickly
The first week With 9 hours at work a day time passes by quickly. You go to work (actually my way to work is 20 minutes upstairs/up the mountain), pass the whole day there and when you come home at about 6 p. m. You still have to go to the supermarket, cook something,...

Adventures at the Secret Beach
With time passing by so quickly it was hard to miss anyone or think about how far I was away from home. I got to know more and more (German) people that were doing their internships here and suddenly I started to wish some more freetime for myself. But I thought I would...

Birthday in the Sun
Two days after the beach experience it was my birthday. It was the first time I would not spend it in Germany but as I have never had a big party for it, that was okay for me. It was just a bit weird that here almost nobody knew that it was my birthday and I am used to...

Swimming with a Pretzel? Possible!
Some days after my birthday my Mum arrived in Puerto de la Cruz in order to visit me a couple of days. Even if I was used to discuss a lot with her during holidays I was happy that she came and that there was someone I could pass time with. She arrived in the evening...

A lot of Goodbyes
And there it was, the day my mom would leave again, after one week. I was sad but at the same time I needed some time for myself again, because every day after 9 hours at work I came home, went directly to the hotel and came back at 11, slept and worked again. That was...

Shopping and Whale Watching
The weekend after the intern left was full of activities. Saturday I went to Santa Cruz with the other intern. She has never been there, so I wanted to show her some things like the Auditorio and Plaza de Espana. We went there by bus, arrived at about 2pm and started...

Not everything is as it is at home..
After the Whale Watching weekend I got to know the other girls better and we went out for having dinner quite often. It was nice to have some people here, but for me it was not easy to adapt myself to their lifestyle. They wanted to go shopping and partying almost every...

20 metres under the sea
Two weeks later I finally could go diving for the first time after my course in Germany one year ago. In Tripadvisor I found a nice diving centre from mother and son from the United Kingdom and wrote them a Mail in order to ask some questions - where is it possible, how...

Finally, holidays!
After my diving experience there were only some days left until I would have a long weekend and my Dad and his girlfriend would arrive. I was already quite excited because I would have time to see a bit more of the island and I missed them a lot. Thursday finally they...

Teide
So the next day we received our car (after having breakfast too late another time and arriving too late at the agency, but okay) and I wanted to start our tour. The other couple was not ready yet, so we still had to wait, as always. It was cloudy and I asked the person...

Birthday shopping & more
The next day it was the birthday of the other woman that was there with my parents. And as I am a quite nice person (haha) I let her decide what she would like to do that day. She wanted to have a more relaxing day but she didn't know what one could do for that exactly...

The fairytale forest
After the shopping day in Santa Cruz all the others didn't want to make excursions by car anymore. But as we had already paid for the three days my Dad and I decided to go to Anaga just the two of us - something I was really looking forward to, because it was always fun...

Goodbye and hello
Of course, the last evening with my Dad passed by so quickly! We just went to have dinner at the restaurant and had some drinks at the hotel bar, because it was raining. I tried to enjoy every minute but finally I had to go to bed as I had to work the next day. I...

Stress vs Happiness
Of course, the problems with my appartment weren't solved the week before my boyfriend arrived, even if I went to the agency almost each day. So I just hoped that everything would work out and there wouldn't be any problems. If it was just the electricity, it was...

Problems starting
Waking up next to my boyfriend the next day was as wonderful as sleeping next to him. We slept in because we were both so tired and when waking up we watched a bit TV and had a small breakfast in my appartment. He wanted to have a relaxing holiday, so we didn't have any...

Appartment Search
So we arrived at the real estate agency and the lady there explained to me that the owner of my appartment had another appartment in Puerto which is almost at the same place as the old one. She gave us the keys and told where we had to go, she couldn't come with us...
