Ondrej is Czech and Slovak born paramedic, avid hiker and photographer who spent over a decade in corporate sales roles - Siemens, Xerox, Sparkasse, EDS, Czech Airlines - before walking away from all of it.

He now works in public emergency medical services on the border of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
