Wrapping up a year in America
Hi guys, I hope you are all doing great! Yesterday, my girls threw me a Bridal Shower that went beyond any expectation I ever had, so I’m definitely in a good mood <3 But that’s not be the topic of today’s post. It has been six weeks now that I left America and my life […]

Extreme Sport Horseback Riding
Being an equestrian is exceedingly physically and mentally challenging. And dangerous. A girl sitting on the back of a horse doing nothing while the horse does all the work. That’s what most people think of horseback riding – you probably included, dear reader. I don’t blame you, because that’s what it often looks like with […]
Goodbye America
So here it is. It’s time to say Goodbye for good now. Goodbye to a year full of challenges, adventures and inspirations. Goodbye to a country that became my home for a year. Goodbye to the people that accompanied me on this journey; some did it for months, some for a few weeks, others only […]
