Non-stop driving over the last days has left its marks, my back is aching and I desperately need to move. Driving right into rushhour traffic, I take the next exit and decide to make my way to the closest gym. - Not even knowing the name of this town, I do my best to convince the man behind the counter that I just moved here and would like to become a gym member - if I could just give it a try first. - "Of course you can and there is even a Zumba class starting soon." Well, it's not the moment to be picky and some Latin rhythms might loosen my sore neck. - What he forgot to tell me is that every participant has been practicing the choreography for weeks and dances with a determination as if Enrique Iglesias himself is standing in the door frame selecting his new dance crew. I wouldn't even pass the first round. - But I try and take the constant shout out "eso es" from the Jamaican instructor as motivation that I'm doing something right. However, one glance in the mirror and reality catches up with me. So what the heck, I'm thinking, I might as well just dance the way I feel instead of meticulously following the steps. It's awkward, I admit, but not even knowing the name of the town gives me freedom for fools. - Sixty embarrassing minutes later it's over, I look for the quickest way to get out when I get asked if I don't want to stay for the belly dance class coming up next. 🤔 What a kind offer, but I think I prefer the hot shower where I'll stay until I am as dizzy as from my wannabe Shakira pirouettes. . . #twobirdsonestone #gym #zumba #epicfail #backingermany #thatescalatedquickly #vanlifediaries #cantstopwontstop #spotthedifference #wannabelatina #neverstopexploring #solotravel #lifehacks #eurotrip #germany (at Baden-Württemberg, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpH0awwlDjh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14nxwh0wfe7eq
