Annelie Pompe - Life requires living
Annelie Pompe is a Swedish adventurer who climbs mountains and freedives
deep on one breath. Annelie feels as home at the bottom of the sea as on the
top of a mountain or on a rock face. Amongst her achievements is a world record
freedive to 126m, as well as being the first Swedish woman to summit Everest
from the north side. She believe adventure is more about attitude than adrena-
line. Salming underwear admire Anneli Pompe and we are proud to present her in
our photoshoot 2014.
Pompe philosophy - a work in process
I believe it’s disrespectful not to live life. I love all forms of life and I believe in
appreciating it by enjoying it, experiencing it, being happy and sharing happiness
with others. Rather than being safe in front of a television or a computer, I cherish
life. Remember that life is not waiting for you, you have to live it immediately.
You can read and study as much as you want. You can look deeply into the most
complex of sports and subjects, spend hours on the internet. But there is nothing
like the real experience. Keep an open mind. Don’t watch life going by, experience
it. To find passion, you have to look inward. If you look outward, all you will see is
what other people are doing. You are not other people.
