Do you have any goals, dreams or plans for the next 1-2 years that you want to share?
Too many! First priority is keep having lots of fun and fly save for sure. But just to mention a few: more (hike and fly) competitions, exploring the world from above and by foot (e.g. Lofoten, Pyrenees, New Zealand, Canada, …), combining things I love (e.g. sail and fly) and reach some high summits :)
