You know when people say that it’s never too late to achieve your dreams? Well, while some might think it’s some faux-inspirational nonsense told by people who are comfortable with their lives, others try to apply it to themselves. 33-year-old Sara Johansson is one of the latter and her Instagram with 22,6k followers is a living testament to that saying actually working.
Johansson used to work as a hairdresser before she found her true calling in the cockpit of a Boeing. Even though she used to be terrified of flying when she was younger, Sara now admits that there is no better feeling than flying a 60-ton plane.
However, pilot training and challenging flights weren’t the only obstacles in her way. Johansson also opened up about the difficulties she faced because of her gender, saying that she was tested extra hard because she was a woman. Nonetheless, overcoming all of it was very satisfying. Now Sara posts photos on her Instagram page, sharing her adventures with the rest of the world.
