Paul Guschlbauer has had an enthusiasm for outdoor activities since birth and spent much of his youth absorbed by the mountain bike scene.

After he graduated from Episcopal High School in Graz back in 2002, he opted for a degree in mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Graz. Around the same time he discovered paragliding and soon began training to become a paragliding pilot. As soon as he had his first lesson, he was hooked. His studies were sidelined, and to this day are still awaiting completion.
