The World Is My Play Ground

We meet Josefina Fontana traveling the world to find amazing places and outdoor fun.

The UAE is a place where you find people from all trades and backgrounds but certainly it is also the place in the world where you can find the highest percentage of cabin crew compared to the total populations with so many airports and airlines in close proximity. If you are young and an adventurer there is no better job than working as cabin crew which will give you access to almost any place around the world.

We met with Josefina in Ski Dubai preparing for the first Columbia Adventure Academy this winter season. The Columbia Adventure Academy is all about getting people outdoors and active so it’s a perfect fit for OutdoorUAE to support this great initiative of Columbia Sportswear removing entry barriers to give easy and fun access to outdoor activities the region has to offer. Josefina perfectly represents the identity of this initiative - you don’t need to be a professional athlete to be actively adventurous and try out new and exciting activities.

Tell us a bit about you and how you came to Dubai?

I am from Argentina and came to the UAE two and half years ago to work as cabin crew for an airline and to discover the world and the exciting metropolis of Dubai.

You are an active person, are you also an athlete?
