Monte Cornizzolo, Italy
The world grows bigger when you look beyond the horizon.
MY MOMENT
Learning from people who move horizons.
At Monte Cornizzolo, I followed the trail of the X-Alps with a group. My flying instructor Nicolas “Nico” Manthos was with us. What impresses me about him is not only his skill in the air, but his curiosity about what lies beyond the next horizon. He sailed across the Atlantic alone in a boat just 5.6 metres long. Flying with someone like that gives a day a special colour. This flight reminds me how much becomes possible when an idea eventually becomes a departure.
