Bibi LeBlanc has lived in DeLand, Florida, for 28 years, a result of her life's interesting twists and turns ... She was born and grew up in West-Berlin, Germany when The Wall surrounding her hometown was a very present reality. After graduating, she left Berlin and received two years of business administration training in a British company. Her strong desire to see more of the world kept tugging at her, though, and led her to become an au pair in California, where she made her first skydive. It was an instrumental time in her life in many ways! Upon her return to Germany, Bibi became a flight attendant with Lufthansa. She spent four memorable years traveling the world, taking photos, and skydiving in Europe, the US, Hong-Kong, Australia, South-Africa, etc. She met her husband-to-be and moved from Germany to Florida - her childhood dream of living in a place with palm trees and near the ocean had come true. They worked and traveled together in the skydiving industry and raised three sons. Bibi has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. She's owned and run different businesses over the years, a skydiving equipment business, a consulting and travel business, etc. She is an active real estate investor, and she is working on a couple of other book projects. Traveling has been a big theme in Bibi's life, and her camera has been her loyal companion. To her, photography means capturing adventures, moments in time and sharing them and her joie de vivre ! Her indie publishing company, Culture to Color, allows her to share her love of exploring destinations through her photography by turning them into a different medium, destination coloring books, and sharing them with you.
