Q . WHO WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO AND WHY ?

» This is embarrassing , but my childhood hero was – and still is – my dad . He is my best friend , supporter and mentor . He is never judgemental , he gives sound advice and he supports me no matter what . Dad always taught me that the aim in life is to gift a child the tools to survive ; it ’ s a tough world out there and your parents won ’ t always be there mopping up behind you .

In his late 60s , dad walked from Munich to Venice with just a rucksack on his back over a period of 30 days . He encouraged me into a world of pilgrimage walks across Europe , too , and I ’ ve learned a lot from that .
