Ready - Set - Go

Every great journey starts with a good espresso...


Flight No 1, Munich to London Heathrow - not my favorite airport and definitely not my favorite Temrinal: 5, the one where my sister and I got stuck almost 6 years ago for more than 24h because of an inch of snow, which shut down not only the airport, but all public transport and basically all life in the UK. But I won't be thinking about that. I am on my way to another what I am sure will be a great adventure...


Packing gets easier the more often you do it and so I was done very fast last night and only had to make few choices... Maybe the decision making was made easier becuse all my belongings are crammed in a room in my parents's house. This is not exactly I imagined the second half of the year to be when I started 2014 with crutches and metal in my ankle. And here I am at the beginning of 14 weeks, 12 flights, 9+ countries and many memories to be. I couldn't be more happy for the way things turned out. One of my dreams will come true... When I am back in Germany just before Christmas, I will have literally surrounded the world. This means I will have the longest imaginable flight which leaves Tahiti at 7 am and gets me into Auckland at noon the next day after an only 6h flight.

Not stopping by in the US on this trip is intentional. I spent most of July there already, meeting friends and hanging out at their great lake houses where I met more friends... And I saw "boyfriend", so all is good for 2014. :) But I will be back, no worries.
My trips to Sweden and Portugal would definitely be worth a couple of entries here... They were tucked in between the US trip and the unpleasantries of moving out and putting my life into boxes.
And then there was family time first with my sister and newly acquired brother-in-law in MUC and last week at home with my parents and Grandma... Cleaning out the attic and finding my childhood safely stored up there including all letters I got made me laugh for a couple of days... OMG...Schmuddelbuddel :)

I won't look back in time, but strictly forward now...
14 weeks... 1direction: West, 1 mission: expand my horizon

Stay tuned...
