  • Description

    I'm working as a business controller and project manager in an international industrial company. Therefore I'm used to work in teams with memebers from different cultural background. It's very interesting to learn from others and to see how world turns elsewhere.

    I was backpacking quiet a lot around the world. I've visited so far about 30 countries and in some of those like Madagascar, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia or Cuba it was not always only holidays. But I would not miss one of the experiences and adventures and I hope there will be some more to come!

    In summer time I like to go for a swim in the local river (Aare) or it's also good fun to explore the greater area of Bern, where I live, by bicycle or mountain bike. Or you could still find me for instance in an outdoor cinema, concert, theatre or also at the football match or simply chilling with a beer and friends. As the mountains are very close, you will find me there mainly in winter time skiing or doing any other outdoor activities.

    Mainly in 2017, 2018 & 2019 I did quiet a lot of volunteering via workaway and helpx. I've been on several farms (arable, sheep, beef, wood, dairy, poultry) and other venues in FR/UK/AU.
