My Travel Story

  • Professional Development
I am going to be part of a researchers team in Iceland in summer 2018.
The aim of the team is to collect data on natural environment and the Icelandic culture. A short documentary and a hiking and cultural guide will be published.
We want to make people know about Icelandic traditions, hiking routes and breathtaking natural environment.
Motto: promote and respect.
I think that showing or, even better, stimulating people visiting some of the most amazing places on our planet would move them to respect environment and other cultures.

The hard part now...
The reaserchers team will work for the American company Global Treks and Adventures, and I will paricipate as an intern. (More work than adventure for us!)
The cost of the internship will excede 2500$. 

I am sure this will be a very useful experience, as I will be part for the first time of a real research group, collecting and synthesizing data and it will be the first step in my job career!

As a student, 2500$ represents a huge sum. I will join the research team only if I will get financial aid.
So I ask you to help me with any contribution, knowing 
that you are financing people of principle,
that you are giving me the opportunity to participate to an adventure in an amazing country, to grow and invest in fundamental professional development,

Thank you very much!
