Once there was an avalanche that closed off the road on our way to Val D’Isere and we were stuck for 16 hours in a car. This is obviously not a favorite but surely a memorable anecdote.

Green Book is my favorite movie.
11. Where are you dreaming of escaping to next?
France. It is one of my favorite countries that I try to visit at least a few times a year. I was not able to travel for the past two years because of the pandemic, so my first destination will hopefully be the South of France.
12. What does traveling mean to you?
Travel means endless opportunities which brings me a strong feeling of freedom. It’s about being able to do what I want and fill my day with excitement. It means going places to truly explore, not just going places to say you’ve been there.
