How would you feel if your job took you to a new beach every month and gave you the time and money you needed to find balance, calm your mind, and get in some yoga along the way?
Well, that’s the everyday life of Maria Pettersson, a commercial pilot with a love for yoga and exploration, who has recently been getting more attention for her Instagram adventures.
Flying the world regularly, getting paid to travel to new countries, discounted airfare… anyone can get jealous of a pilot’s life!
Plus, getting to sit behind the wheel of something as cool and gigantic as a Boeing 737 is just awesome.
Even though most of us won’t become pilots, we can still live a healthy and vicarious life through Maria’s photos.
The 32-year-old Swedish Ryanair pilot has recently taken off into the limelight as the internet fell in love with her high-spirited selfies.
Originally from beautiful Gothenburg, Sweden, Maria first started posting to Instagram to keep her family in the loop on her adventures after moving to Italy.
She now lives in Palermo, Sicily and has a steadily growing fanbase of over 200k followers, many of them young girls who she hopes to inspire with her healthy lifestyle and flying career.
