For the last two years I worked as a media producer at an e-learning company in Cologne. Over the last few months it became more and more clear to me that I\u2019m not made for a routine 9-to-5 job. 30 days of holiday weren\u2019t enough to satisfy my longing for the sea and the waves. At the end of the year I decided to quit my job \u2013 and my flat along with it.<\/p>\n<p>My friends\u2019 reaction was always the same: &#8220;Wow, that\u2019s brave!&#8221; I\u2019ll probably only find out what they meant over the coming weeks. Because my mind always tells me: &#8220;If you\u2019re not happy, change something!&#8221; Maybe my new adventure will also encourage others to take this step and turn their dreams into action.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I went <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/about-surfing\/\" title=\"surf\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">surfing<\/a> for the first time in 2019 in New Zealand. Back then I booked myself into a surf camp for a week and had a fantastic time. Since then I can\u2019t imagine life without this sport, which gives me endless energy. Surfing is a passion that can sometimes hurt, but you can also learn so much from it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to the time ahead, in which I\u2019ll learn lots of new things and get to support the FreshSurf team.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A warm welcome to the team, Mareen!Aloha, I\u2019m Mareen and I\u2019ll be the intern at FreshSurf for the coming months.
