Gerald Hüfner – Germany

We met Gerald Hüfner twice in Papua New Guinea, together with Fritz Muller. It was funny to meet them because they were the only ‘other’ tourists we met in this country. And we had something in common: a trip around the world. Gerald (pilot and manager) accompanied his boss Fritz to fly around the world in their private Jet. We talked and shared experiences, and we had a great time. Besides, we met them again 6 months later in Anchorage (Alaska). What a coincidence! And who knows, maybe we’ll meet again in South America where we will stay for the next 3 months. And it looks like they are heading in that direction too!
Gerald is 52, Father of 2 sons, and manager at Gemü – valves, measurement and control systems.
