Traveling, Skydiving, Scubadiving

I was lucky enough to travel a lot and get to know many nations in the world. I am always impressed about different cultures.

The most exiting travel experience, a Ferry Flight from BLL to JKT as Flight attendant.


Skydiving was part of my life over 10 years and I liked to jump big formations.

I also completed many photo flights.
