Maria Pettersson is originally from Sweden but has lived all over the places. She moved to Cyprus in 2005 and since then has lived in Spain, Italy, England, Norway and in her forever packing, unpacking suitcase – always on the go.
At age 24 she decided that she wanted to do a profession where she could keep traveling and explore the world – that’s when she decided to become a pilot.
Her first commercial flight was in 2014 in a Boeing 737 that takes almost 200 passengers. One year later she started to share her experience as an airline pilot, flying around Europe with the world through her social channels @pilotmaria.
In this talk, Maria shares how she achieved her dream to be an airline pilot in a world where 96% of pilots are men and her encouragement to not be afraid to spread your wings.
