My way in the air

Paragliding is my greatest passion! To me, it means freedom, lightness, and being one with the wind. 

Ever since I can remember, aviation has fascinated me. For me, paragliding is the most relaxed and independent way to move through the air. 

The knowledge and experience I’ve gathered over the years, I pass on with great passion at paraworld. It brings me joy to share my enthusiasm with others and to meet new and exciting personalities at the flight school.

My particular passion lies in acro and hike & fly paragliding. The dynamic flying, controlling the wing during maneuvers, and the constant learning drive me and give me energy. In hike & fly, I love the feeling of pure freedom and independence in the mountains. Whether alone or with friends, climbing a mountain together and then flying down is simply indescribable. It gives me distance from everyday life, peace of mind, and joy in my heart.

Flying for me is more than a Hobby it is a lifestyle.
