For me has been a really great experience to work here. The building, the staff people, mi supervisor here and more things have been fantastic, I’ve felt too comfortable, and my project was very interesting for, also, because has been my first job about my degree and has been perfect.
Too many thanks to ERI !!!

About living in Caithness:
It’s a very good experience, honestly, it’s a very different country, different customs, different people, and, I like a lot, many different landscapes.
It’s a little bit quiet, but, in other way, you can enjoy other things.

About the future:
My future? So, I will start another university in Cadiz (the science of wine), in the south of Spain, near Sevilla, it will take two years, but, in the same time, I’ll try to find some job, like my degree, Technical engineer Agronomy, also, after to be done this work here, I would like to find some job in the golf courses world.
