What’s your main contribution of being in the Jury do you think?
My heart belongs to the outdoors. Over the past 20 years I have traveled the world and experienced several continents mainly through my activities in nature. Trekking is one of my biggest passions as it gives me the most profound feeling of freedom. I’m super happy to share my experiences and knowledge with a broad audience through my publications. On my (research) trips I always have equipment with me for testing purposes. Currently, I’m writing a book about my alp cross that I did with my dog Ralfi in 2023. Also for this year we have planned a big trip – this time we are trekking with tent. What I value the most about gear is versatility and durability. When I’m in the outdoors I want to trust my equipment 100 percent and try to make use of most of it for different purposes. Rating and recommending products that I have thoroughly tested is just what helps other people to have wonderful experiences in the outdoors. That’s why I’m super happy to be part of the jury fall/winter 2024.
