Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Ninth Wave Global was recommended to me by a good friend who himself participated in a program of the organisation. Before my departure to Mexico, I was a very inexperienced writer wanting to learn while gaining practical experience and building a high-quality portfolio of work. And what can I say, I got even more than I could have imagined. I was invited to work on a podcast and helped at every step developing my writing and broadcasting skills. I was given the opportunity to travel multiple countries in the region and went from zero Spanish to a language level I am very confident in by now. But one of the most important things for me was the atmosphere and spirit within the team and the deep trust I developed in my own skills and in my fellow peers, creating countless synergies within our group. Further, Ninth Wave gave me a completely new understanding of the importance and history of indigenous people in the broader region, as I was fortunate enough to visit remote communities in Yucatan. The amount and type of knowledge I got a glimpse at is astonishing and brought up to some uncomfortable questions in me about myself, my culture and country.
So, for everybody interested in writing, journalism, broadcasting, exploring and much more, I highly recommend an internship at Ninth Wave Global, it is worth every single penny.
