By Helena Melbinger & Anahita Shirbaz, Valencia 2023

This year we got the chance to spend our internship through Erasmus+ in Valencia. After our magical time last year in Finland our expectations were quite high. We got to work at Monnou, a company that specializes in sustainable design. The three CEO’s who are also the only people working there, founded the company in 2021 so they are at the very beginning of their journey but still did some very cool and revolutionary stuff. Our main task was looking for potential clients and cooperations. Since the three employers were all living in a different city, they didn’t have a company building and so we we’re working in our own appartement that sadly wasn’t very suitable for home office. Spending time at the beach was our favourite thing, it was really beautiful and relaxing. Visiting the Oceanographic, a big aquarium in Valencia was the highlight of our stay. In general, is Valencia a very beautiful and green city and we really enjoyed eating Tapas and drinking Sangria at a Spanish bar. Otherwise, it was always very very hot, but we still enjoyed our time in Valencia a lot.
