Their unique concept is well-known all around Sweden where a big part of the trips are carried out in a pink bus where you also sleep on top of the roof under the stars. Around half of the trips are on the pink bus and the other half in normal tourist buses. Working with Pink Caravans on their unique bus trips you work together with a driver and sometimes also a person responsible for food as you cook on almost a daily basis for up to 50 people. To work as a tour leader demands that you are open to constant change to be able to customize the customers' needs at the same time you are always developing new skills and experiences to create and maintain trust. Competencies I bring with me from this job are leadership skills, a new language and being able to work in a flexible environment which I believe is important in both smaller and bigger international companies.
