Usually, I consider it a good year when I don’t find the time to take care of my page. It can be blamed on the well known issue of „I am about to redesign the whole thing“ (but also don’t find the time to do it right, so in the end it doesn’t happen at all but also and even worse, I am not updating my page anymore).
Of the 8 races in 2014 I podiumed 5 times and finished the year on the 3rd place in the IDF ranking.
Off to the Philippines again tomorrow!
More stories to be made!
Happy skating.

For as much as I have an issue with the NorAm attitude. They have California. The place where the sun shines, when Zurich is grey and wet and cold… the place where burgers taste like a real sin.

What a year!
My updates here get rare with a remarkable increase of my CO2 foot print… my gipsy feet took me to the Greener Pastures film trip, Japan, to North America twice and all around Europe again.
New people became friends, old friends were visited.
The mountains and the ocean filled my heart with impressions. Never was the mood between the ladies racing so positive and motivating as this year.
Life goes away from the rhythm of the gipsy for a little bit now.
Sleeping on wonderful memories, preparing the next adventure.
