Preparations
It was quiet around blogging for a while. Still, I'm not sitting still. In the background I am busy preparing for the coming months. The agenda is filling up nicely.
Then the plans. In addition to my full-time job as a soil investigation and soil remediation project leader, I try to find time in the evenings and weekends for some quality time for my husband and our cats, taking care of the chores at home, preparing for the various trips in Luxembourg (both from Dutch Minion and for Motorclub Zeeuws- Vlaanderen) and being busy planning a trip of a week to explore France for next year. This is still going to happen, but a little later in the year than planned.
Why?
Very simple. Unexpectedly, Jessica from Winding Wheels called me. I have been following her and her husband through Social Media for a long time, but the personal meeting took place during Discover Overland last September. It was great fun and I admired their presentation about their journey in Africa.
But then why did she call me?
Together with Yamaha, Jessica and Maarten have been busy devising, developing and now actually organizing the Ténéré Travel Trophy. In addition to the entire organization in the background, a lot of help is also needed during the multi-day event. For this they were putting together a team and Jessica called me if I was interested in coming along. It was a bit of puzzling in my planning, but a few days later I sent via WhatsApp "Sign me up!"
That means that from June 9 to June 18 I will be present at the Ténéré Travel Trophy. Really looking forward to it and hope that it will be of real value to the organization and the participants. It will be a very educational event.
Of course that doesn't mean that my blogs about special places and mini adventures will disappear. On the contrary. They remain an essential part of Dutch Minion. Especially now that the temperatures are becoming more pleasant, nature is clearly awakening and therefore becoming more and more comfortable to go on an adventure, the blogs will come online more frequently with accompanying images. After all, there is still so much to discover!
Bring on 2023!
