Over the years, I found myself doing all kinds of other outdoor sports like kayaking, mountain biking and paragliding. Motivated by my two friends from Austria and the Netherlands, I found myself fly-fishing again after a decade of doing other sports.

These pictures show foreign worlds and alien landscapes, often magnetized in symmetrical compositions. Yoga brought me to Slovenia in 2016, and I fell in love with the Soča River the first time I saw it. So just one year later, I decided to leave Germany and move to the Soča Valley. Unfortunately, Lyme disease forced me to spend two more years in Germany in order to get healthy again. I finally made my dream come true in 2019 when I moved to Slovenia. One week after my arrival I met Laurens, and now I am very grateful to be part of his great team and to be able to create some marvelous impressions of the breathtaking nature in the Soča Valley.[/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_icon display=”inline” icon=”fa fa-social-facebook” icon_color=”color-482803″ background_style=”fa-rounded” css_animation=”zoom-in” animation_delay=”400″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fschroeckervision%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_icon][vc_icon display=”inline” icon=”fa fa-instagram” icon_color=”color-482803″ background_style=”fa-rounded” css_animation=”zoom-in” animation_delay=”600″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fschroeckersvision%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_icon][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
