EXPLORING THE
WORLDThe activity I love doing the most
By Nicolas Baecker
Sport is my passion…
• Football has been
my passion since I
was a child and I
have always
played in the club
team of my home
town
• Still now football is
my favorite sports
activity and I play
it regularly
• Apart from
football, golf is the
other sport I really
love doing
• As a member of
the men’s club
team, I am
constantly trying
to improve my
game and my Hcp
• In the winter I love
to go skiing or
snowboarding in
the Alps
• Being out in
nature and
speeding down
the hills means
thrill and freedom
to me
... but there is one thing I enjoy even more than
sports
„The world is a book, and those who do not
travel read only a page“ – Saint Augustine
What travelling means to me
• Seeing new places and
enjoying nature
• Getting to know different
cultures and meeting new
friends
• Spending time with family
and friends
• Doing things I have never
done before
Visiting exciting places in the world
• When travelling through the world, I have the chance to visit famous
buildings and places, giving me a lifetime memory
• Standing on top of the Statue of Liberty and looking at the skyline of
New York, one feels what the American Dream is about
Getting to know different cultures
• Visiting foreign countries
gives me the chance to learn
about different cultures and
lifestyles
• My stay in Hong Kong during
one of my internships and
my visits to Shanghai meant
a great challenge at the
beginning due to the
completely different way of
living in Asia
• However, I got adapted fast
and really enjoyed my stay
Creating friendships across countries
• During my student exchange year in the
USA, I got to know great people and long
lasting friendships have developed over
the years
• For me, it is really, important to keep
these friendships alive, so I fly over to
the US to see my friends whenever I get
the chance
Spending time with friends
• Mostly, I travel with my
friends or my family and
it is always great to have
the chance to escape
from daily life, explore
new things together and
share these experiences
• These long lasting
memories can make my
friendships even
stronger
Doing things I have never done before
• Climbing through canyons, jumping from high cliffs or surfing in Costa
Rica means adventure and finding out about my limits
Travelling is more than a hobby…
Travelling gives me the chance to
broaden my horizon and develop my
personality
On journeys, I get the chance to
escape from routines and gain new
energy
Even though I love doing sports like
football, golf and skiing, travelling
around the world is by far my favorite
activity
... and I hope that the journey is not over yet!
