Sayin’ bye 2 d’snow in Austria

Wow, the time has come…. After having spent 2 months in my home country Austria, it’s time 2 leave…  and I have to admit I’m getting a bit sentimental about it.

Yeah, it was the first time in many, many years that I visited Austria in winter time and I have gotten really used to the snow, the cold, hot drinks, and stuff 🙂

It’s been soooooooo good to catch up with family friends again and even better to rock’n roll down the slopes of our breathtaking mountains instead of playing in the liquid ones in the sea 😉  There has been so much snow here, amazing, yeah, even the flowers had an ‘icing cover’, too cute.

But it’s time… it’s time for new adventures and even better than snowboarding down frozen waves will it be to finally re-connect with my life force again: THE OCEAN !   I missed its feeling, its sound and energy sooo much these past 2 months !!

So, I said ‘Good Bye’ to the beautiful white yesterday and tomorrow I’m jumping onto a plane that’s gonna take me to the other side of the World, yeeeeeeeeeeeah, I’m heading to Western Australia!  Summer is in full force over there  –  in fact I was just on the phone with Perth, it’s 42 degrees there today !! –  and several decent swells have already rolled onto W.A.s coast without me rockin’em 😉   High time 4 kitegabi to get there !

It will be quite a physical shock I reckon the temperature thing but hey can’t believe I can exchange my rabbit fear hat with a cap and my thick, warm wintery clothes for a bikini, JOY 🙂

Hopefully this is what I soon will be doing: check out the pics from my last session in W.A. before coming back home to Austria!

Heheheheehehe, yeaaaaaaaah, can’t wait, it goes without saying that I’ll be keeping u updated.

In the meantime enjoy the beautiful wintery images of Austria in the photogallery on the right, isn’t it amazing this white snowcover and hell-yeah, standing on top of a mountain on a perfect blue sky day, well yeah, that’s got something very special 4 sure.

Love Austria but gotto go… continue my quest for perfect waves & new spots and I can’t wait 🙂

Have fun!
Gabi
