Travel

I love to travel, experience new cultures, places and relax on white beaches. I enjoy luxury travel just as much as living in jungle without electricity, hours away from civilization. I've been to more than 30 different counties so far. My most favorite places are Florida and Hong Kong but I'm generally in love with the US and Asia.

Aviation

My passion for aviation goes together with my love for travelling, having completed already more than 100 flights. I'm an aviation enthusiast, founded my own aviation blogs and love to fly with vintage warbirds as well as Cold War and modern jet fighters.

Photography

Most photos I take on my trips around the world. I love architecture, nature and macro shots - and aircraft of course.

Technology

I'm an early adopter of new technologies and I like testing new upcoming products. Since many years I'm a Microsoft Beta Tester. I participated in several private, non-public Microsoft beta programs such as
