Carolina was pioneering the sport in South Africa together with Peter Wallenda in 1986. Being an instructor she has taught many people to fly. As a child she used to watch the hang gliders take off from high mountains in Switzerland and wished she could be one of them but was not allowed. When she became of age, she came to South Africa to live her dream. Married to Steve Burd they both share the passion of flying and have flown in various countries. For Carolina it is about freedom and being in nature. ‘This is as close as you get to being a 'Burd’ eeehee Bird!’
