It’s the 1st of October now and tomorrow I’m leaving Greece for good. I’m feeling a bit sad and quite uncertain about how it will be living in a big city again, attending university and being so far, far away from water… the only highlight is that winter is coming, and with winter comes snow which means snowkiting whenever there’s wind 
hopefully I’ll be able to progress a little in SK this year, would be nice.
The wind today morning is pretty tricky, ranging from 20knt to 33knt, so I’m waiting for it to become a bit more even before I go riding… lately I’ve become picky about the wind, won’t go if the conditions don’t suit me, haha… I know I shouldn’t be that way, but I guess Greece spoiled me too much with its good wind this summer
Some time ago I became a level 2 instructor, which is good cause it will give me more options when I choose my working destinations next year. I already have my one year long tour planned more or less, and it involves places like Poland (of course!), Greece, New Zealand, Thailand and Dominican Republic… but we’ll see how everything turns out, maybe I’ll end up somewhere completely different 
It’s a good thing I came to paroskite to work this summer. It’s a really busy school, so you either adapt quickly or you fall behind. I gained confidence in my skills and learnt a lot from people far better than me. I learnt how to work with short and long lines and a whole range of kite sizes, from 3m to 13m. I learnt how to teach from shore and how to stay calm even when the situation gets sticky. I learnt how to work really long hours and still stay positive. And, most important of all, I learnt how to deal with people of different nationalities, characters, ages and opinions.
It’s a shame I have to go back home, I would much prefer to stay here a while longer… but I guess everything good has to come to an end sooner or later. So until next year, lovely Paros, until next year. And the countdown to the day I return here is on.
May wind be with you,
-Suzana
