It’s been quite a year with the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. Especially the last weeks have been very difficult.

Let’s see what 2022 will bring, hopefully a return to the place I love so much. #betweencountries #Ethiopia #Namibia

Thank you so much Lied for showing me around and for offering me the relaxing holiday I needed. Missing you! ❤️ #Dubai #UAE #handstandchallenges #handstand #gymnast #gymnastics #traveling #sunset #doublelayout
