the blog´s been asleep for a while now for two reasons: a. there wasn´t happening much in my life regarding travelling or anything else newsworthy I wanted to post and b. since a couple of weeks there has been some major change going on in my life which needed some proper sorting out...
so here it is, my new life: quit the job I had for ages at Planet Sports, rented out my place in town, sold a lot of things that I always took along the journey but never really needed. You start to realise it if you miss anything you got rid of and with most of it it´s rather been a blessing. Of course leaving the company was a big step and I´d have to say I´d never imagined the amount of experience, knowledge, confidence gained and fun times I had throughout the span of 8,5 years but it was time to move on. Since that day there´s been heaps of things going on: I moved in with the mad prof Andy Fox for a little bit, had the honor of being the best man for my longtime friend Dave (this legend got me into surfing), bought a proper campervan and mainly put time into organizing a longer trip with that beast coming up soon. Life just feels really "alive" again when you get the chance to organize things for yourself, sort out your life and spend time with things that have value to you and not necessarily to other people - this is a gift everyone should make to themselves every once in a while, sometimes we tend to forget that all this is OUR life and by no means is it set like it currently is, you can change it in a second. Which basically meant for me seeing a lot of people, getting some toys, visiting museums, learning to fly a drone, etc... So, long story short, there´s gonna be more stories to tell in the near future about this upcoming trip and the good times ahead. In the meantime it felt right to zip off for a quick trip to Portugal even though the forecast didn´t look too flash, but man did good old Nazare surprise....
