Let's go rollerblading!
Exactly one week ago, I had that very thought in my head just as I was walking home from a CAS activity that I have been committed to for the past month (see previous post!). The weather was simply perfect for autumn: about 18 degrees, accompanied with the gentlest breeze; curdles of clouds scattered in the vast blue sky with the sun rays dazzling the roads and houses.

It could not have been more inviting to spend the rest of the afternoon outside as the sun sets! As I changed my sneakers for rollerblades, I plugged in my headphones and played my classic Gospel playlist, thankful for the weather and the productive day I had had.

As I went rollerblading along the path of the golf-course here in my village, it seemed like I was not the only one who had the enthusiastic idea to spend the afternoon outside, as I passed groups of locals who were taking a leisurely walk and then the busy playground filled with active children.
Rollerblading is one of my hobbies as it allows the most liberating sensation while feeling at peace simultaneously. When I rollerblade, there is not much to think about but to accept what you observe through your eyes. It makes you more aware that there is life outside when you actually want to appreciate the natural world we live in. It also happens to make your current biggest problem seem like a microcosm compared to everything outside your life.
The only thing I believe to be like it, would be ice-skating. However, this only works in cold conditions and is mostly available in ice-rinks. Whereas rollerblading is more flexible on the terrain and there is much more to see outside than in an ice-rink. Check out some photos I snapped whilst on the go that afternoon:

This has been a simple blog post explaining a hobby of mine and although I am aware it is not CAS, it is a favourable activity of mine that I would like to share with my readers. Just a little insight in this IB CAS blogger's other activities!
Yours truly,
Evita ☺
