PİLOT, MADELEİNE SCHNEİDER-WEİFFENBACH

Meet The German Pilot, Blogger, And Globetrotter Who Has Become An Instagram Star

"I've always been into aviation and wanted to become a pilot since I was 12 years old," she told The Daily Mail. "Aviation runs in my family and two of my cousins are pilots."

There's no shortage of lifestyle bloggers travelling the world, sharing their wanderlust-inducing pictures on Instagram to hoards of followers.

But few of them have the knowledge of the globe that a pilot does — and a view from the cockpit.

Known as @pilotmadeleine on Instagram, Madeleine Schneider-Weiffenbach calls herself a "blogger & globetrotter" — and she also happens to be a trained pilot on the hunt for a job.

Until the perfect role crops up, her 760,000 followers watch as she travels the world — usually with her boyfriend, who also has a big following — sharing stunning snaps of destinations like Santorini and the Taj Mahal.

Meanwhile, she also writes a lifestyle blog where she shares her tips on travel, fitness, fashion, recipes, and even has an online shop where she sells her own book about "clean and creative cooking."

She gained her Commercial Pilot License a few years ago, but has since struggled to find the perfect pilot job. Instead, she has focused on lifestyle blogging, travelling the world, and occasionally flying privately.

She told The Daily Mail: "I was soon able to live off it so I decided to pursue travel blogging instead of working for a low-cost airline."

"I have absolutely nothing against that but I was just lucky to have another option."

She initially signed up on Instagram as @pilotmadeleine because she wants a platform where she could connect to other pilots, but she started sharing pictures of her private life.

In a blog post in 2016, she said: "Because aviation is quite a small world and not everyone is interested in a full pilot account I didn’t have many followers back then. After a short time I started sharing more of my private life: Fitness pictures, healthy recipes and travel pictures. Especially the fitness pictures and healthy recipes became so popular that I started to gain followers quite quickly."

So, how does she do it? She wrote on her blog that she has "always worked really hard" in order to afford her lifestyle.

"When I was only 13 years old I started working as a babystitter," she wrote.

"Later I worked three times a week in a bakery. I had to be at work there at 5 a.m. Hence, I could never go out.

Or when I did I had to go from the club straight to work. However, by not going out very often and working a lot I’ve always been able to save quite a high amount of money. Some of which I then spend on flights etc. Because my big passion has always been traveling!"

She added that while some people save their money for "an expensive Chanel bag or Louboutin shoes" she has always saved for travelling.

"I don’t put much attention to expensive designer clothes, I always buy my cosmetics in a drug store, I don’t own a car, my rent is quite cheap, I buy my groceries at Aldi," she wrote. "Overall, I’m a super economical person."

The view here is pretty special.
