Silvia has accompanied her husband Paul since 1998 in all Abenteurfahrten to water. It has always been her desire to know other cultures, countries and the unspoiled nature. Everyday life at sea and in the wild promoted their abilities far from civilization “to stand woman” her. Your goal is to live in harmony with nature.
Tolerance among the people and fair dealing with nature are a serious concern to her.
