Hi everyone,
Thank you all for the incredibly kind and positive comments on our Long way South Series, we truly appreciate all the support from around the world!
At the very end of the series we want to make a video about how we planned the journey, and what our final take is on such an endeavour.
In this video we’d like to answer the many questions we’ve gotten so far. If you have anything in specific you’d like us to talk about, please do not hesitate to share the questions below. We’ll do our best to answer as much as possible in the final video.
Love,
Rosita and Maurits

Dank je, voor al de moeite om ons mee te laten beleven.
Prachtig die opnames van onder de vleugel gezicht op plane en alles blauw, eronder water boven .prachtige opnames zijn dat.
En jaaa Cross wind. Daar weet ik ook alles van.
In flaggstaff, zaten we zodat aan de max. Dan ben je toch wel blij dat je weer safe op de grond staat.
Fikse voorbereidingen boven de zee. Goed van jullie

Watched a few of your episodes and adventures and you 2 seriously live your life and seem to enjoy every minute of your adventures and experiences along the way
I've wanted to fly as long as I can remember and had probably been my number 1 on my bucket list but life work and family commitments have stopped me from pursuing this dream
Watching your videos is igniting that dream
Keep having fun, loving what you do and sharing your experiences with us all coz it inspires us to follow our dreams and realizing there is more to life than behind a desk, laptop or on a couch
LIVE LIFE

That landing looked text book. Easy for someone with your abilities Bambi. Na just pullin your leg. Well done.

Ik geniet van je films op Youtube. Geweldig hoe jullie 2 het allemaal doen. Dat brengt een lach op het gezicht. Nu ik bijna alle films van jullie gekeken heb, heb ik mezelf als doen gegeven om voor 31 december 2030 zowel mijn ppl áls de cpl te halen. Heb 16 jaar parachute gesprongen en 10 paragliding. Nu ik een soort van gepensioneerd ben, ik ben 54 jaar, heb ik alle tijd om mijn doelstelling te halen. Ik wil jullie nogmaals bedanken voor de leuke, vrolijke en leerzame beelden.
