Jadran Vecchiet

Anja Rautnig
Life-enthusiast, best described by three words: Let’s do it! The sustainability wheel is set into motion and having studied organic farming, eco design and renewable energies, I’m rolling with it, hoping it’s gonna catch as much speed as I do when kitesurfing in stormy winds.
“Fear killed more dreams than failure ever will.”

Description of Karoline
Nastassja Mikl
A bohemian soul from Villach and Berlin living in Vienna who would move to Australia in a heartbeat. An eternal optimist who, if not obsessing about traveling or American literature, is a student of linguistics/teacher and may correct your grammar.
