After skiing many continents my final goal, skiing all seven continents, is getting more and more within reach. To get a feeling what skiing on Antarctica will be, a trip to the Lofoten Islands seemed a good idea to me. This place is called “little Antarctica” for a reason…
On August 13 I flew to the other side of the world, New Zealand. Or as my little niece says, I went to the last country. Traveling any further and I would fall of the planet…
In 2008 I wanted to visit India mainly to ski Gulmarg. A lot of resistence from the family made me decide not to go. Resistence because Kashmir is officially in war which could obviously be dangerous. Two years later I decided I had to go regardless of other people’s opinions.
To explore my interests I wanted to take part in new activities and I decided a trekking could be it. What better country for trekking than Nepal can you imagine? In the end of 2009 I took off for 10 days of trekking and another 2 weeks of culture, activities and wildlife.
When I was skiing in Sun Peaks (Canada) I discussed travelplans with a guy I had met. He mentioned his ex-girlfriend had snowboarded in Argentina. I had no idea at the time there was even snow in South America. Almost six months later I landed in the country known for big delicious steaks, football and tango.
How can you experience the real Africa, assuming we know what that is in the first place? Well, by taking part in a wild camping trip to Botswana was my answer to that. No facilities, lots of animals roaming around, campfires and a lot of fun were the keywords for this trip!
In 2008, after the Olympics, I visited the far East, China. The country being so huge, I was looking forward to varieties in many ways. Differences in scenery, climate and people were to be expected during my 3,5 week trip.
Being interested in different cultures I simply had to visit Japan. The country is famous for its insane bullettrains and its islands are also known for getting the most snow anywhere on the planet, so bringing my skis to the land of the rising sun seemed a great option.
Going on a safari was a big dream for me. Spending a ridiculous amount of money to see some animals sounded crazy, so I wanted to combine a safari with a nice city-trip, a cultural experience and preferably interesting nature. So I went to South Africa in October 2007…
