The rumours you’ve heard are true – I’m not going to LA or San Diego this summer. I haven’t had a change of heart per se but there’s definitely been a change of plan, as instead I’m off to Germany to work for the European Space Agency based in Darmstadt, near Frankfurt.
While there’s no doubt I’ll miss spending my days surfing and hanging out with some of my best friends over there, this role is too much to pass up and offers other amazing opportunities: It means I can spend summer hooning round some of the world’s finest roads and drinking steins of decent lager instead. Not at the same time, of course.
I feel pretty mixed having moved out of London, and for all the shit I’ve talked about living down there I think I’ll actually miss it quite alot. A big part of that was being settled for a while I guess and that it had become my home, but as is typical for me lot of things seemed to come together right before I decided to leave. Not to worry though, I feel like I’ll be back there one day but for now – Germany beckons!
