Hello everyone,
Last week I had the opportunity to visit our location in Tenerife. For one week, I was able to work in an office with colleagues from Tenerife, who I usually only know through teams.
On Sunday, 27 November, I took the flight from Frankfurt. After a flight of just over four hours, I finally landed at the southern airport on Tenerife. From the airport, I had to drive for an hour, as the office and the accommodation are in the north of Tenerife. After arriving at the accommodation, I settled in and prepared myself for tomorrow. On Monday, I went straight to work and was warmly welcomed by my colleagues. We introduced ourselves to each other and I was shown around the office and familiarised with the premises. There was a large dining table in the kitchen where we could sit together during the lunch break. If the dining table was not used for eating, it could be used as a table tennis table, as a small net was stretched across the middle of the table. There was also a large supermarket right next to the office. That was especially practical if you wanted to get something to eat quickly during the lunch break.
And so the seven days on Tenerife flew by. The colleagues were always helpful and nice and could always help me with questions. On my last day in the office, I even played a little table tennis match against a colleague.
On Saturday, I had some time to explore the island. A colleague took me on a tour of part of the south of Tenerife and showed me various beaches, such as Playa las Americas. At lunchtime, we ate a typical Canarian dish together: “Papas arrugadas con mojo”. These are boiled potatoes with mojo sauce. It was very tasty. The rest of the day we strolled along the beaches before I went back home the next day.
Visiting the office in Tenerife was a great experience for me.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kerstin, who made it all possible. I would also like to thank my colleagues in Tenerife, who made my stay there memorable.
