500 followers! thank you so much, I’m looking forward to going abroad with all of you! and I hope you enjoy it, too!
toda, shokran, tack, thanks, danke, terima kasih, dankon, merci, grazie, obrigado, gracias! did I forget your language? tell me what “thank you” means in your country! :)
…a surfergirl started packing! yeah!!! I waited so long for this moment :) well, I know – I start early, but I will have to do a lot of packing and unpacking until I’m really done. it’s not so easy to pack for three months, I never did that before. but it’s such a lot of fun! and anticipation is growing immensely :)))
yesterday I received a mail from seat24 that etihad airways didn’t accept our request to take our surfboards on the flight from kuala lumpur to denpasar and back. AND… hold on! today I got a mail from air asia that they will suspend their flights from denpasar (bali/indonesia) to clark (philippines) from june 15th on. if there are still seats available, we can MAYBE fly with another airline and they will book it for us or money back. fair enough!
but what to do now really? we can only stay 30 days in bali, no visa extension possible for my bf due to his place of birth. AND WITHOUT OUR BOARDS it makes no sense at all to fly anyway, because we don’t have the money to buy new ones in bali nor do we want to rent and pay for shitty boards when we got amazing (custom) ones back home! AAARGH!!!
so I did it! just now I booked our flights from morocco to bali, from bali to the philippines, from the philis back to bali and from bali back to morocco. we will stay for 8 weeks from july till september!
if you know any cheap and nice places we could stay, it would be very cool if you could leave us a comment – thank you surferfriends all over the world! hope you also planned your next surftrip already :)
I have been on the freeway today… suddenly my car became slower and I saw that it ran extremely hot. so I called the wreckers and in the garage they told me that it’s most likely done. the repair could cost 3.000 dollars and more. if that is true, my surftrip died today… ;(
hänsel, I will miss you:
I wanted to book our flights from casablanca to jakarta and from denpasar to manila today. just to make sure that it’s true what the net says (visa-free indo for 30 days and visa-free philis for 21 days), I called the embassies in my country and they told me: moroccan citizens have to apply for a visa back home for indonesia and the philippines. I cannot find veryfying statements on the net! I’m going crazy! hopefully the embassies in morocco answer my mails soon, because I don’t have a clue what to do now…
why are some people on this planet blessed to travel wherever they want while others are cursed and punished just because of their place of birth??? ;(((
does anyone of you know spots in asia , where a really nice left is next to a longboard wave? the thing is: I have to find destinations where I’m happy and also my goofy-boyfriend can surf properly :)
aloha my beloved friends and followers,
you know that I’ve quit my job and I want to go to morocco to visit my boyfriend again in april 2013. in june or july we want to go together to indonesia and to the philippines, because he doesn’t need a visa for these countries. my love doesn’t have enough money for the flight though (he has never been anywhere outside his own country yet) and I’m not able to pay for him…
I know it is a big thing to ask and I’m not really feeling comfortable, but if you could help us with some euros, dirham, dollars, rupees, pesos, bahts, dinars, shekels or whatever – we would be more than happy and thankful! I will get in contact with every donator and see what I can give in return.
I really want to show my baby the lovely waves of the indian ocean soon :)
THX ALREADY FOR…
79,10 Euros
sponsors of any sort are very warm welcome – we are a “bilateral” surfercouple and happy to wear your surfbrand, surf your boards, test your sunblock, use your wax, fly your airline or whatever ;)
