Yoga is awesome
In Montezuma the Spanish and Surf School “La Escuela del Sol” was offering Yoga classes (with two amazing teachers Dagmar and Silvia from Montezuma Yoga) and I though to give it a try for two weeks. And wow I was positively surprised from that experience.
Yoga is so amazing to strengthen your whole body, getting more flexible, practice your breathing, relax, meditate and probably a bunch more of amazing things it does to your body and soul.

Lollipop Moments
Traveling gives you time for inspiration and one of my sources are TED Talks at TED.com.
Here one gem I found recently, an inspiring 6min TED talk by Drew Dudley to see leadership as “Lollipop moments”.
Think about your “lollipop moments” How many have you created, acknowledged or thanked for?
One of my biggest lollipop moment was more a period when I was in high-school: I had this amazing computer science teacher and when the decision was to be made what to study it was computer science. More than 12 years later I got the chance to meet this very same teacher again and thanked him for his big influence he had in my life.
If somebody in your life has given you such lollipop moments and you haven’t told them, let them know!
Spanish and Surfing in Montezuma
Wow what a great setting to learn spanish and surfing. In a paradise like village called Montezuma on the Peninsula de Nicoya in Costa Rica. In the school “La Escuela del Sol” I take spanish and surfing classes.
A very well treat for body and mind and an awesome surf instructor who has a lot of great analogies ready to not only teach you about surfing but also about life. All this is accompanied with 30+°C and sunshine. After 2 hours surfing and 4+ hours of spanish (with two great energetic spanish teachers Wendy and Andrea) it is time to get some food.
The food in the tiny town is so delicious. They even have a restaurant where you have dinner and then they show a cinema film at 7:30pm. Here some impressions from my time in Montezuma:

Thank you for your Birthday wishes
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes from around the world. I had a great day, starting with sounds of wave from the ocean and a great run on the beach. Then some healthy breakfast (at least the carot cake sounded healthy :P), talking and messaging to friends and family, enjoying the day in a spa and talking to a surf guru here in Hawaii who will take me surfing tomorrow.
If you haven’t figured out a birthday present yet 😉 Here is an idea and the awesome part of that present: You become a part of my trip. How good is that! As you might know I’m traveling to Nicaragua in April to help building a school in a coastal area. With your support now, we will have sufficient material to build the school. How awesome is that!

- Thumb up for the sunrise here in Kaua’i

- Birthday breakfast with view to the ocean. No, I’m not in a prison 😛
Tears of Joys
After the day I arrived in Sydney I went running and suddenly I had tears of joys in my eyes. How this happened I will tell you now …
Actually one year ago in Sydney I was reading a book and it was suggesting to take a piece of paper and write down in as much detail as possible how your perfect (work) day shall look like. I thought this is a great exercise and so the beginning was something like that:
