Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

Recently the Dubai worm was put into my head by a friend. A fellow teacher, she was actually giving English lessons to a man about to relocate his entire business to Dubai, and he wanted to get his English into tip top shape as he figured his German native language was not going to [...]

Somtimes I forget just how much I love an author. I never would´ve denied that Terry Pratchett is a master of his craft and that he makes me pee every time. But every now and then there is a space of time between reading his books, and then I pick one up or [...]

So I have had some requests on how I am able to travel as much as I do, and if I could share some of my secrets. No problem, its a little more than buying and packing Swiss Army luggage, yet beyond the desire to do so the rest falls into place. The [...]

So two major updates, (asides from we have checked into a hotel and you can all know that I am still alive here. especially everyone back home in Canada and getting news that seems to be greatly filtered about Turkish terrorists. ) The podcast should be ready this weekend and the release date is [...]

And it is HOT!!!! But not so hot that we are not able to completely love everything about the place!!
The good news is the wait for the contraption Patrick has been wanting to create for his tools is complete!
He bought a new tube in Romania and had been dragging it around the 2 weeks. [...]

So I am trying to update Journizer, and three blogs, and its not working so well. So if you want a lot of detail about the trip so far, head on over to Journizer, as I also only write about the trip there, and I dont digress about other things like [...]

So the plan today was to stay at this hotel we found last night (absolutely perfect, small, clean, SHOWERS, and a little resturant out front with wireless!!!). We as you could imagine were estatic. The last time we showered was in a little hotel just outside Sofia before we headed off to the [...]

And loving the trip so far. As you may have guessed from lack of internet updates, either by any of my blogs or emails (no its not just you Im ignoring, its everyone), internet has not been our friend on this trip so far. The first couple of days through Germany and Austria [...]

So tomorrow morning we are off! The bikes are ready – at least as ready as they are going to be! Patrick spent the day working on his handle bar protection and they just did not, would not fit. So this means that his contraption (contained in this bag)

and which was to [...]

Despite my vow that I would freak out if we were not on the road today, we are not on the road and I am ok. Last night we (and by we I mean Patrick, as I drank champagne with Oma to celebrate our on the road soon night, and [...]

I will freak, I mean freak, if we dont get our stuff together and ready to leave for tomorrow. Before you ask why am I online when I should be pulling everything together, I have now become obsolete. As in everything I can and could help with I have, and the rest [...]

Today was suppose to be departure day. That was of course before my private student changed her classes from 3 days next week to 2 and one on Friday (and I said SURE, because she is actually someone I would meet for coffee and drinks outside of class, and 3 months of getting paid [...]

And yes, that does mean that as of Friday we are off on our trip. The reason why I slaved, cried, and bawled my way through 12 hour days, why I cut my spending habits in half, why I stopped buying books and hit the library among many things (although in retrospect, now I [...]

It is official, I am now not only the owner of a BMW F 650, but I can say I DRIVE a BMW F 650. Yes, boo ya to your mother, I passed on Saturday morning. For those of you staring at your Luminox watches, or more likely, your calenders, wondering when [...]

My own family will tell you, I dont deal well with crowds, particularly crowds and heat. This may come as a little bit of a shock as I tend to head to lots of places full of crowds and heat, Tokyo, Rome, Bangkok, etc. BUT, I am not I am expected to [...]

Sorry I am quiet, I promise to update, email, and generally respond to the world tomorrow, we were in Switzerland this weekend and then I worked 12 hours, straight, no break today. Blaaaaaaaaa
So I leave you a pretty Journizer slideshow, and a castle from Lichtenstein!

I created a Squidoo page for our motorcyle trip over here: SherrieDrives and then the idea caught on and now Journizer has a page too! It just comes down to the monkey being too cute.

Boo yaa!!! My written test has finally been booked. Next Wednesday at 1 pm I go to face act one of the two part (and I hope it is contained in two parts with no repeat performances) of “Operation Sherrie Gets Her German Motorcycle License.” I wonder if I explain that [...]
