Thanks to Sport Zölzer!

Shop assistant Kai, Junior Manager André Zölzer, Senior Manager Heinz Zölzer and shop assistant Torsten were so kind to host a rolling clinic, organized by Marek Pohla and Indrek Aas from Tahe Marine, and a talk about my Australian circumnavigation.

I had plenty of fun in the river Ruhr, getting a bunch of students and the Junior Manger wet and dizzy!

Thanks to Globetrotter Ausrüstungen Berlin!

Event manager Patrick Valentin, kayak/ mountaineering manager Michael von Einem and shop manager Carsten Bombis invited me to talk about my Australian trip in the Globetrotter shop Berlin.

The talk was held righ on top of the indoor test pool – the right ambiance for a kayak slide show!

The day before the talk, we did a rolling clinic/ demo, organized by Tahe Marine Kayaks, which unfortunately was stopped all too soon by a  heavy long thunderstorm. Thanks anyway!

Thanks to Erik Wallgren from Epic Kayaks Sweden/ Nomado Kayaks to invite me to Stockholm to the Kajakdagarna Exhibition, organized by Magnus Fischer! I had a great time teaching efficient forward strokes clinics in the morning, signing posters and cards during the day, and giving a talk about my Australian circumnavigation in the afternoon! Saturday and Sunday! Whoever was not there was missing something…

I’ll be demoing (for all) and teaching (for people who already have a reasonable roll) some Greenlanstyle rolling:

It was a pleasure to be in the studio! I was happy to be looked at with this invitation as a “sportswoman” and not only as an exotic “traveller”…

There will be an entertaining gameshow in the German TV SWR,

where 4 prominent candidates (Inspektor Smudo, Ursula Cantieni, Mike Krüger, Enie van de Meiklokjes)

have to find out the right person out of three,

having done some great or interesting things…

it will be quite a tough quiz on that night! )

To be seen on German TV

SWR, Monday, 02.05.2011, 22.00 h

Bürgervorsteherin Birgitt Encke and Bürgermeister Rainer Maaß invited me to sign the “Golden Book” of Husum. It was a great honor for me!

Frau Encke was holding a lovely laudatio. Thank you!

THEY DID IT! Thanks very much for the beautiful handcrafted “City of Husum” bowl, filled with delicious fresh fruit!

My baby and me have seen some of the world already!
