On a new mission….
The bags are packed… nearly 80 kgs in boards, kites, accessories and all the other little bits and pieces – hardly any clothes, no room for those 😉 !! – and I’m off to a new adventure, a new explorer-mission, a new trip to completely unknown territories, however, to a place that I had dreamt about visiting for a long, long time.
I feel nervous and excited. Discovering the world and on top of things alone can be quite nerve-wrecking and it often takes a lot out of you, however, it’s also such an amazing way of travelling, so exciting, so incredibly free !
Traveling is one of the very best things in the world. It’s been in my blood from a very young ago and having been to over 50 countries so far, it’s kind of part of me and has strongly shaped who I am today. Each time you travel you also go on a journey to yourself and I can only encourage everybody to go out there into the world!
In this spirit, I will leave you here now with the words of Mark Twain:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
