David SommerkornHi Julia, it's always nice to see all the things you do far away from home. I follow you ever since you left Germany and i really support this journey. Laura is always happy when she sees something now from you because she really misses you. I also saw that Ali has a beard now, so he got old i think :-).
David SommerkornAnyway, as you remember, we want to meet each other next year in New Zealand. Unfortunately, Laura doesn't want to fly because she wants to finish her master degree and then looking for a job. I totaly understand her but on the other way, i always want to go to New Zealand... so we decided that i fly alone. Now, i booked the ticket with Singapore Airlines and i will be in New Zealand nearly the whole March of 2016. If there is any possibility we can see each other on the other side of the world, i would be very happy. I will arrive in Christchurch on 7th of March and then drive first to South and then to North. On the 29th of March, i will fly back from Auckland. Tell me if there is a possibility we will meet anywhere, because i will be nearly everywhere. Looking forward to read from you, many greetings and maybe i will present a shaver to Ali :D
