Ready for Check-in, Flight to Marsa Alam

After one month in Switzerland, which I really enjoyed, I checked in for my flight to Marsa Alam.

Around two hours south of Marsa Alam with the car you find the kite-village, where I will teach and train for 2 month. I am so happy that so many people I know are coming to this beautiful kitespot.

From the islands of San Blas to the car show in Geneva

My last stop of the first part of my journey was in San Blas.  San Blas is a series of 378 islands  and only 49 are inhabited by the fiercely independent Kuna Indians. The economy of the islands is based on coconut sales, fishing and tourism and they offer travelers good snorkeling and swimming. Facilities are few and simple, as is the food. The area is surrounded by reefs, some of the oldest in the world. It is just beautiful there.......

I was lucky and it was windy for one day and I really enjoyed kiting between the islands, it was just unreal......

Everything comes to a end and it was time from me to go back home :-) it is so nice to see my family and friends again after 5 month. Unfortunately, I am not here to chill around, after 2 day I had to work for two weeks as hostess for Maserati at the biggest car show in Switzerland. The switch from the simple loneliness of the island to the fancy crowded fair environment couldn't be bigger. 

Thanks to my Maserati team, it was great to work with you and I miss you all :-) 

Capo de la Vela, Colombia

From the Airport Santa Marta, I went straight to Capo de la Vela, this desert paradise is located in the La Guajira peninsula of Northern Colombia.

Capo de la Vela is really in the middle of nowhere and we (me and Andy) were the only Kiters there :-) the water was beautiful but the offshore wind was very gusty :-( When the wind picked up I had around a half hour with not that bad wind and sometimes in the evening, during the afternoon was the wind too strong and gusty. Therefore I spend a lot of time in the hammock, the first day was hard but then I really enjoyed the mystical atmosphere.

It was very interesting to meet the the Wayuu, the indigenous people of La Guajira, specially that their social system is led and managed by women.

Panama, PUNTA CHAME

After a awesome time in Maui I flu to Panama City.


Panama City is nice and very safe and the most people can speak english.
The Kitespot PUNTA CHAME is just 1 hour and 30 minutes from the City by car.


My Friend Itzick has a very nice Kite school "Machete Kites" in Punta Chame. We were almost alone on the water during the week and on the weekends a few people came from the City. The atmosphere was very nice and I was sleeping in a tent just in front of the beach.


Unfortunately from one day to the other the water was full with jellyfishes and they didn't want to die or leave the water. they got my twice and that wasn't a nice feeling.


Finally, I decided to make a two weeks trip to the north-coast of Colombia and I will go back to Panama for a Trip to the wonderful Islands of San Blas.

The great Musician Willy K in Maui

I visited a concert of Willy K a great Musician from Maui. 
The Hawaiian People are so proud of their islands and I really like the philosophy and the way they are living.

The surf break "Jaws" (Pe'ahi)

JAWS is located on the northern siede of the island Maui. The surf break, a deep wather reef break, is called "Jaws" due tho the size of ferocity of the wave. The waves at "Jaws" can reach heights of 120 ft (36.6m) on the face of the wave as fast as 30 mph (48.3 km/h).


.... I was there and saw this huge wave.... it was amazing to see the surfers out there, check out the video we did;

Aloha Makahiki Hou / Happy New Year

Ich darf auf ein wunderbares Jahr 2010 zurückblicken, in dem ich viel Schönes erleben durfte und sich für mich viel verändert hat. 

Ich bin nun bereits 3 Monate unterwegs und durfte schon viele tolle Menschen kennenlernen und habe schon soviel gesehen und erlebt.  Klar vermisse ich auch meine Heimat und all die Leute die ich zurücklassen musste, aber ich komme ja wieder :-)

Bis ende Monat bin ich noch auf der wunderbaren Insel Maui, wo ich hoffentlich auch bald etwas zum kiten komme, denn wir hatten bis jetzt nur ein Tag Wind...... Danach geht es ab nach Panama, da bin ich sehr gespannt was mich erwartet. Ihr seht es wird auch im neuen Jahr nicht langweilig für mich.

I look back on a marvelous year 2010, in which I have lived trough a big change in my life. 

I am already 3 months on the way and I meet so many good people, saw many things and  unforgettable impressions. Clearly I miss my home and all the people I had to leave, but I come back: -) 

I am still on the beautiful island Maui and I will stay here till the end of this month. Hopefully sometimes on the water, because we had only one day with wind up to now ...... Afterwards I will fly to Panama, I am very curious how it is there. As you see the new year will be very exciting for me.
