How often do you travel per year?

Kitesurfers are a pretty active group if it comes to traveling, coming from north Europe I know the reasons why ;-)

But how often do you travel abroad per year?
Traveling means flying away or doing a long trip with your car, at least 1000km (800 miles)?

And if you want, add your comment and let us know, if you always go to the same location, or every time only once, or one main and different others etc

I go once a year in summer on holiday with my family (wife an kids) and kitegear, somewhere in the South of Europe so far. Every time we try to find a place fun for all members of the family..

Most everytime I pump up my kite I get to travel to my favorite location pretty fast, the waves.

Usualy 2 times, working on 3.

Live in that windy city, Cape Town, so have it pretty good for 5 months of the year but like to get away during our shitty winter.
Usualy manage to go overseas twice a year but this year hoping for 3 times - did Le Mourne, Mauritius, in April for 2 weeks, am currently in Cumbuco for 7 weeks (6th time) and hope to come back here in Nov for 3 weeks if Naish have their kite dealer meeting here again :thumb:
