In the past years, I have already tried out stand-up paddling several times. This year, however, I really started to enjoy this pastime.

I am lucky enough to be able to regularly borrow a board from a friend of mine. This allows me to spend hours on the Alte Donau – paddling, swimming, or simply enjoying the views of the city from the water. This way, a summer day spent at home almost feels like a small vacation.

Trivia of the day: As of today, I have spent 256 days without interruption in Austria. This is my longest stay in my home country for more than ten years (355 days from May 18, 2009 to May 8, 2010).
