Description
Hey!
It’s Jo and my parents from Montreux 🇨🇭
Living 15 minutes driving from the lake, up on the mountain in the village called Les Avants. I like saying I live in LA..
Surrounded by nature, I love spending time in it and cultivate it to be more and more independent and healthy. You will love it, it’s a real reconnection to what matters the most. And still.. we’re close to everything else. Indeed, despite the fact that my days are spent mostly down in town (friends, sport, activities) I love coming back everynight in my calm and peaceful village.
I’m an ex pro tennis player who decided to change my racket with a camera to get more aligned with my values. A dream from my childhood was being a youtuber… I launched it a year ago and now I have my production company. I still give some tennis lessons.
I also give a lot of time for the association “Tous dans le même bain” which has the goal to enlight healthy behaviors and products through events and socialmedias contents. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Very nice neighborhood
Awsome walks and bike rides from the house
Rivers in which I do cold plunges and the Leman lake easily reached with the train from the Village.
The city Montreux is well known for his jazz festival and Chritmas Market. But also because Freddy Marcury lived here. You have beachvolley, tennis, theater… well everything down there and many facilities to discover the other towns around the lake or joining the best areas (chocolate and cheese factory and mistical castles by exemple)
Welcome in Switzerland😂
My parents are living in the same village, they speak also english. Well, everybody has a quite good english here.
And we have wifi -
