Photography - Blending art and technology (check out my on-line photo album)
 

Backpacking and hiking - A natural thing, having grown up close to the Alps and the Black Forest
 

Sailing and diving - My favorite activities during vacations by the sea
 

Wines and fine dining - A cellar full of vintage wines combined with home-cooked food... Yum!
 

Reading - Books are the most fascinating pastime... well, almost ;-)
