Robe: Where are you right now?

Sven: At home in Zagreb, Croatia. :)

Robe: What are you doing to fill the time whilst isolating / in lockdown?

Sven: Working on some plans for future show projects, and also finishing studies for my commercial Pilot’s licence which I started almost two years ago. :)

Robe: What’s the most creative thing you’re able to do in isolation?

Sven: It’s hard to be creative while in lockdown, but thankfully WYSIWYG and grandMA3 can’t contract COVID-19!

Robe: Are you looking after anyone else during the Covid-19 crisis?

Sven: Yes, my immediate family … who had their houses severely damaged in the earthquake which struck Zagreb on 22nd March, right in the middle of the Coronavirus crisis.

The 5.3 magnitude quake was the worst in Zagreb for 140 years

Robe: Has anyone inspired you since this started?

Sven: I’ve endured much harder periods in my life, so I don’t regard this as the end of the world! :)

Robe: Favourite book / movie / Netflix series / viral video

Sven: Well … the only book for me currently is “EASA Professional Pilot Studies” by Phil Croucher. :)

Robe: What’s the first thing you’d like to do when we are through it?

Sven: Probably go for a long bicycle ride with my friends.

Robe: Own question / answer / message of solidarity or something you’d like to say?

Sven: This crisis will pass, and I’m certain that there are many lessons to be learned from it, so I hope we won’t take things so much for granted anymore. I’m sure I will not … :)
