About Abroad Advent

Everywhere you can possibly look you see Christmas trees decorated with as many lights as the tree can hold, Advent has commenced. The Advent experience here is way different than in Austria, without mullet wine and Christmas stands but with school work and travel preparations. I won’t really participate in Christmas here, because I am leaving soon to South-America and there is only little time left to get all things organized. Therefore I will try to concentrate and list everything Advent-ly I have seen so far in December.

Advent Calendars

There are several Advent calendars you can check out, but the most likely I visit the following ones…

• Footbag Video Advent Calendar
• Hubble Space Telescope Calendar

Ottawa Visit

Last weekend I visited Ottawa with a couple of friends which ended up in renting a small cabin for two nights where we stayed in the middle of nowhere (Gatineau Park, near Ottawa) and got a real Canadien experience of living in the wild without water, electricity, time feeling, but a lot of candles, snow and friends. You can checkout most of the pictures on facebook and I can give away that I also shot a nice video there, which will be revealed asap.

Kickmas Jam in Austria

…is another thing to mention. I used to go there yearly, but this year the awesome Christmas footbag crew of Vienna will celebrate without me. What a pity! But nevertheless I wish them a big dynamic shred to go down! Instead I will go to the NYJ in Chicago which takes place from the 27th to the 28th of December.

South American Footbag Championships

This event will be held in Bogota, Colombia during my Christmas break and I will go there to participate and enjoy! I don’t know what it turns out to be, but I like surprises and I got a that warm invitation from them, that I don’t have to worry. I am very excited to celebrate my 24th of December under some palms on the beach during the South American summer!

… all in all I am missing right now the home-made cookies and a lot of other traditions that normally make my Advent to be real, but I have to many awesome other things in my life, so that I don’t have to care for the moment.
