10 years ago ….

…. I was excited like never before. It was the night before my first flight and my first visit of Northern America.
Tanja (the friend I traveled with) and I had the crazy idea to take our inline skates with us. So I tried to combine skating and carrying my 28kg backpack. It didn’t work, of course. I fell over and landed on my butt. But somehow it had to work and so about a quarter of my backpack was filled by the skates.
It was a good decision to take them around with us, but more on that later ….

It was a very short night as I – as always – started packing just the night before my departure. But so I didn’t have to think about the upcoming first flight into a continent so far away from home.

But in spite of all those fears I had 10 years ago I’m thankful for having had the courage to that adventure
