Why RIPCURL HAS TO bring me back to Australia

Since you all know I would love to go back to Australia - and actually I think RIPCURL simply has to manage this for me. Why? Have a look at this:

In 2007 I bought a pretty cool RIPCURL backpack at Bondi Beach.

Unfortunately the backpack now looks this way:

Since this all happened WITHOUT being surfing all the time (well in Germany and Austria is not that much space for surfing...actually there isn't that much of a beach either...) I think that RIPCURL simply has to get me back to Australia in order to get a new awesome backpack and to prove that it's the coolest of all brands! Don't you think?!

i'm a dreamer

Alright. Long time no see guys. It's the end of 2009 and since I declared 2010 as MY year I thought it's time to start early so that there's enough time for 2010 to get used to me ;-)

So let's start with a quick check: Am I in Australia? - No! Will I change it? - hopefully! Almost 2.5 years are gone since I left Sydney and even though a lot happened in the last time, I still miss it like hell. So it's time to get back on track and make the dream come true. Don't you think?

I know pretty well that it's becoming harder by the day to find "real" work as foreigner in Australia. But hey... I'm pretty good in what I'm doing...you guys down under need me! ;-)

So folks. I'm really convinced that this year will become a good one - hopefully with me going down ;D stay tuned!

Come to Australia :-)

Part II went online

As published before, I wrote some german articles for a Australia-Community in Germany. The 2nd part was just published. So if you wanna read something in German about my life down under...there you go :-)

Good ol' days..

Some time ago I just happened to write for a german blog about Australia. Actually I wrote two parts of my "aussie experience". Today the first part was published. So if you're interested in, just check it out by clicking on the following pic.

tastes like home...

pretty strange feeling this week during lunch break. was just walking down towards the Alexanderplatz in Berlin, Germany and started drinking a fresh mango-maracuja juice...and it somehow tasted exactly like one of my favorite juices I used to drink in Sydney. Man. Felt pretty strange, familiar...really like home. For a few minutes I felt like lying in Bondi, a fresh boost juice in my hand, a marvellous view at the ocean...

really hope i'll be back some time!

Access Denied!

A week ago I received mail from 'my company'.

We are sorry to tell you, that our visa application was rejected. Unfortunately we are not allowed to employ non-Australian people...

Fantastic. It took the immigration office 4 months to realize this?!! And 3 weeks before my scheduled take off they realize it? F..k! Pretty racist thing by the way. Anyway...can't change anything. Dream is over. Thx a lot!
