Hobbies When Sara is not busy for her university or ASTP she is doing all kinds of sports like playing Volleyball, Beachvolleyball, hiking, skiing, work out in a gym or nordic walking. She also enjoys gardening and relaxing in her garden- even if there would be a lot of gardening work to do- while drinking good wine with her husband Christoph.
