Preparation... the countdown is on!

Hey!

As an absolute newbie blogger - if I may call myself that - I have now decided to write a diary for family, friends, colleagues, and all those who like to follow travelers.

A little bit about me: My name is Lena, I come from the Karlsruhe area, and I have worked and lived near Frankfurt for a few years.

As a pharmacist with a long study and subsequent full-time job in the pharmaceutical industry, there was little time for travel and leisure. I mostly tried to spend all 30 days of vacation on trips and to fly to the sea at least once a year.

As a sports enthusiast - especially jogging, fitness, yoga, skiing, and snowboarding - I discovered my love for surfing in 2015. After countless short vacations in Fuerteventura, Portugal, and Bali, I have now fulfilled my dream and am going surfing full-time 😂

From a 50-hour workweek to zero mode 🤙🏼

After a long preparation, and by that I don't just mean applying for visas and booking flights, it's only 2 days until it starts! Yippie!

And that after:

1. Quitting job and apartment

2. Completing the move

3. Planning the route

4. Applying for visas

5. Suspending, changing, or submitting corresponding insurance documents

6. etc.

Now I have started packing today! What to take when you're on the road for 3 months straight with only a backpack and a surfboard... as chaotic as I am, I will probably end up missing a few things - but anticipation is the greatest joy 🙌🏼

Until then, cheers Lena
