This time the main factor of my decision to go is for a roller skate journey through Switzerland with some Houston street skaters (and more skaters from other cities). For anyone that followed this blog on the last journey.. its basically the folks who inspired my trek on wheels through Bavaria. This portion of the trip is being planned out by another party so it will be nice to enjoy what will feel a little like a surprise as I am not pouring over every bit of info as I did planning solo. I very much appreciate the knowledge of the people coordinating. 😇
I am flying in and out of Amsterdam. Starting off in Eindhoven for Area 51 Skate Park.. I want to go to Rotterdam.... Still looking for more ideas. From there I will fly to Minsk, Belarus to see Eastern Europe and stay with my past college dorm super pal.. insanely excited for this... graduated seven years ago and still have yet to make it to Minsk... Then I considered visiting Moscow to see another dorm mate... but ya know.... nah. Love my pal, but I'm just not interested. After Minsk I want to hop over to Berlin... and my awesome bud, Bob, has some skater contacts for me to call upon.
I am so wiggly and giddy today as I seek out the different Chicks in Bowls chapters in Zurich and Berlin.... its too soon now but I cannot wait to contact the groups and hopefully get my shred on with em! There truly can be exhilarating skate life after derby. 😌 I am thankful that aggressive quad skating has caught on around the world just as derby did!
I am making this early blog post as an invitation for ideas, recommendations, half-baked ideas that need further research..... ya know... 💫
