Wanderlust Ice & Ink — Édito : Quand le patinage artistique devient un métier. Dans les coulisses de l'entraînement avant le retour en contrat de spectacle sur glace

@sarahaerial.ice I Wanderlust Ice & Ink — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0200

Comme je l’ai évoqué dans mes premiers articles Wanderlust Ice & Ink, je travaille aujourd’hui comme patineuse artistique de couple professionnelle et aérialiste sur glace, me produisant actuellement à bord de navires de croisière naviguant dans les Caraïbes au départ des États-Unis. Avant chaque retour à bord, une phase essentielle demeure pourtant largement méconnue. Souvent perçue comme une simple pause entre deux contrats, elle constitue en réalité une période de travail structurée duran...

Wanderlust Ice & Ink — Life On Board: Article 2 I A Day in My Life Before Returning to a Cruise Ship as a Professional Pair Skater

Le Podcast Journal — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0200

As introduced in my previous Wanderlust Ice & Ink articles, I work as a professional pair figure skater and aerialist on ice, currently performing aboard cruise ships sailing throughout the Caribbean from the United States. While life at sea often takes center stage, the period before returning to a contract remains largely unseen. What many perceive as a holiday or a simple break between assignments is, in reality, a carefully structured phase of preparation. Returning to the ice after several weeks away requires far more than packing a suitcase and boarding a ship. Training sessions, physical conditioning, choreography reviews, pair skating practice, administrative preparations, and creative projects all become part of a daily routine designed to ensure a smooth transition back into professional performance. Behind every show performed on board lies a profession built on discipline, consistency, and constant refinement. Whether working on pair elements, rebuilding stamina, maintaining technical precision, or preparing future artistic projects, this period between contracts offers a revealing glimpse into what life as a professional skater truly involves beyond the spotlight. This article follows a typical day during that preparation phase, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the routines, responsibilities, and realities that shape the profession before stepping back onto the ice at sea.

Podcast Journal — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:01:00 +0200

On the 16 of July, the European Commission came up with a reinforced Security of Gas Supply instrument that will better equip the European Union to face disruptions of gas supplies and to develop solidarity mechanisms among Member States.

During the gas crisis of January 2009, a number of European citizens suffered from shortages of supply. This was the case particularly for Member States that were less interconnected with the rest of the Internal Energy Market. During the crisis, the rules o...
