I've been a Greenpeace activist for 2.5 years now and done two
ship-based actions. This is, however, the first time I sail with the
ships and when I first came onboard, everything was completely
new to me (not to mention the new english terms)!
Well, now after 2-3 months, I have begun getting an idea of how
things work and I'm completely addicted to this life.
During my time onboard we have done many exciting things like examining the condition of the bottom of the North sea, a nuke- action in Belgium and one of the coolest things I've done in my life: a trip to Svalbard... I will never forget how beautiful the blue -and I mean BLUE- icebergs was, or how cute the puffins were. Even though the result of the trip was depressing (with a glacier-melting that shocked me), I carry the trip with me as a really good memory.
Dream after dream is coming true for me and I wake up every day amazed by that I'm actually here, doing the things we do. The world is worth saving.
