CURRENT MISSION

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So through off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)

ABOUT ME

I love the sea. One day I want to live by the sea, since then I travel there as often as possible. That is why I started my own business in 2006 - I am a tour operator for maritime trips. With me you can watch dolphins and whales in the Mediterranean, experience a Jazz Festival on an Island in Southern France or enjoy the Italian food & wine.
... April 2009: I did it! Moved to Salina, a tiny little island close to Sicily - and I love it!

Swimming with dolphins was one of the most amazing things I have ever done and which I will never forget in my life! Only whales could top that.
