Free roaming in the eu will officially end. the good news is that the noise being made from the top four providers is that they wont be imposing huge roaming charges, but i would always suggest you check with your provider before you go. and what about health insurance? free medical treatment in the eu wont be guaranteed. from the lst ofjanuary, travellers can no longer rely on the european health insurance card, which will make it more important than ever that they have full travel insurance wh...

And thats when it starts to get really hard. im about, just touching three kilometres, i think it is. 100 metres from three kilometres. its tough, its getting tougher now, because were getting into bigger dunes. i havent been counting! ijust keep thinking, relentless forward motion, just one step after the other. lockdowns and restrictions have been hard on everybody around the world, but to be out here in the desert, in the early morning, running and doing what i love again, just feels amazing....
