Australia (1996-2003)
Hiking across the Kimberley Region on foot to search with a scientific expedition for Rock Art, diving along the Great Barrier Reef up to the Torres Straight, exploring the Outback with overland truck drivers- Ulla Lohmann’s adventures in Australia are many, since she lived there for over three years during her studies. Today, she continues to explore Australia as expert for National Geographic Student Expeditions.
Vanuatu (1998-2010)
If you ask Ulla Lohmann about her favorite place, she most likely says Vanuatu. Every year, her travels lead her at least twice to the South Pacific Island Nation, where she leads expeditions to active volcanoes, goes diving or learns about strange local rituals: „Vanuatu is like a large adventure playground. There is so much to do, so much to discover- and the people are incredibly peaceful and friendly.“
Papua New Guinea (2001-2010)
In 2001, the Tarvurvur Volcano in Rabaul erupted, and Ulla Lohmann traveled alone to „the country the most dangerous outside a war zone“. Ulla survived (also the volcanic eruption) and ever since, she travels up to three times a year to Papua New Guinea. There are many exciting things there: Unknown mummies and rituals related to death deep inside the jungle, never discovered species of plants and animals and many active volcanoes. In PNG, they say: „Expect the unexpected!“
Pacific (1996-2001)
Ulla Lohmann has sailed over 1.5 years on Tall Ship ALVEI across the Pacific, from Samoa to Tonga, from Fiji to New Zealand, from Tahiti to Bora Bora, from Vanuatu to Australia....and now knows many secret spots only sailors have access to.
