Kitespot Review: Paje Beach, Zanzibar
Having summited Kilimanjaro and having lived in a tent for two weeks in Tanzania, I was ready for a change of pace and a change of accommodation. I flew to Zanzibar, a.k.a. The Spice Islands, an archipelago paradise 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast, in search of wind and hammocks. I found both on the southeast coast on Paje […]

Naxos … I will be back!
“There are doers and there are talkers. You guys are doers. You came, you did, and it was a great time … thanks so much for visiting mates! CHEERS!” said Dave as he raised his glass of Oyzo. With the clink of glass I understood what he meant. Talkers annoy me. Stop talking about it […]
Kitespot Review: La Palme Pond – Leucate, France
In 2011 Honey Badger passed quickly through Leucate, France, during the great escape from Dakhla. We were happy to find a large flat water spot, a salt water lake, but sadly there was no wind on the day we were there. Two weeks again, I had the opportunity to return to the same spot and this […]
Best of 2012 – By the seat of my skirt
Some of the best memories of my life were made in 2011 … but 2012 turned out to be an incredible year as well! When I departed for my next big adventure, “Golden sands & European Trysts”, I had no idea the many great experiences that awaited me or where in the world I would I […]

Kite Spot Review: El Gouna, Egypt
Since I have become a kitesurfer I find myself in places I would never choose to visit as a traveler. El Gouna, Egypt is one of these places (as is Hua Hin, Thailand) that delights the kiter in me with windy shores, while disappointing the traveler in me with an abundance or tourists and void […]
KB4girls Global Event 2012 El Gouna, Egypt
In June I took a short, cheap flight from Zurich to Hurghada to participated in my first KB4girls Global Event in El Gouna, Egypt. Warm sun, wind, and water combined with energizing girl power from 22 incredible ladies from three continents made for a fabulously fun experience! I first learned about KB4girls (Kiteboarding 4 Girls) when I returned to San […]
White girl can jump!
… but needs to work on height and hang time! I didn’t get big air on my first jump, but I was happy to FINALLY be off the water! Photo of the week: My first jump while kitesurfing in El Gouna, Egypt. To see more photos of kitesurfing in El Gouna, Egypt CLICK HERE.
Dakhla Challenge Déjà Vu – adventure in reverse
When we drove from Switzerland to Dakhla, Western, Sahara on the Dakhla Challenge, we had no intention of doing the same trip in reverse. The plan was to sell the car at the Mauritania border and fly back to Europe. Our Route on the Dakhla Challenge had taken us across Europe and North Africa over […]
