Why is flying important to you, and what does flying mean to you?
Since I discovered paragliding back in 1997 I fall in love with flying instantly. As soon as I bought my first w paraglider in 2000 and started flying paramotor – I fly all the time since. It has become my lifestyle. I love the idea of having a paramotor always with me, travelling around the World, being able to take off from anywhere and see the landscape from different perspective, it is  like an addiction and I can’t live without it. I constantly travel to fly, to old and new places, meeting old and new friends-pilots from all around the World. It’s beautiful.
