      Hi Booney.
      So far I have worked in the UK, Canada, France and Germany. The space industry is quite small but spread across the globe, and always in interesting places to live.
      If you work hard on a project, people notice and ask you to move to other interesting projects. A bit like a footballer! OK, the money is not the same but the job rewards are very much higher in my opinion.
      The world today is about experiencing different cultures and the space industry allows this.

      Hi Booney,

      by specializing in Expedition Medicine, I got trained to work in extreme environments. I’m from the Netherlands and we don’t really have any extremes there…

      So I looked for work in more remote/extreme areas like the jungle in Belize or the top of the Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. For the cold I worked as a ships doctor cause a lot of places like Greenland and Svalbard are hard to reach by any other forms of transportation.

      A lot of these jobs are voluntary jobs, that is a nice way to travel a lot and do something usefull as well!!

      Floris
