Just a short update to share the good news – my fellowship application has been officially approved for May through July of this year. Yay!!!
I’ll be at a transportation think tank in downtown Berlin called Agora Verkehrswende, learning all about the shared e-scooters and (e-)bikes that have exploded around most urban areas in the past couple of years (“shared electric micromobility”).
I’m simultaneously very excited, and a little bit nervous – I’ve signed up to learn all about a new industry, and write something thoughtful about it, in the space of three months š But it’s good to have an anchor for our plans, and I’m grateful for the chance to dive into an industry that’s related to my old one, but not quite the same. I’m curious where the experience will take me!
Once the fellowship is over, I can see about freelancing or other ways of earning a living in Berlin through year’s end. But for now, I’m glad to have a place to land, and am happy to defer thinking too much about what comes next until I’m actually in Berlin.
