About Me
WELCOME!
Update 8/2024: Thanks to Kimkim, you can now check out on youtube what to expect when I'm hosting you :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKWMvu_vbb4
You get your own private guest room. 2 days a week it's my home office, but typically I won't need it before 9am.
Great travel advice for Switzerland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsVY4FBIRdg
