Born and raised in Switzerland. Did an apprenticeship as a laboratory assistant and soon developed a taste for leaving the country. Travelled Europe, Asia and Australia, before hopping on a bike for three and a half years to see Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Yes, I do take the blame for Darina’s bike bug, but I also carry the bulk of the luggage. Once she is faster than me, I’ll be packing bricks in her panniers!
