Swiss tradition meets Australian summer. December 23rd is braided bread time – and Koni is in our kitchen here in Australia making authentic Swiss butter braids . Golden brown, fluffy, and delicious – exactly as they should be. The scent of fresh braided bread fills the air, and suddenly Australia feels a little bit like Switzerland. Old traditions, it seems, know no borders. And the best part: Even though Koni worked for the police for years , he has n't forgotten how t

Koni and I traveled to Sydney for three days – a short but intense visit to one of Australia's most fascinating cities. This trip confirmed once again: every visitor to Australia should see Sydney at least once. The city impressed us with its many facets, its energy, and its countless attractions. Whether modern metropolis, nature, harbor, or culture – Sydney offered everything at once, making every day varied and exciting. A particular highlight was our visit to Australia'

In these moments, the distance between Switzerland and Austral

On May 24, 2024, we visited the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show on the Gold Coast – and were impressed from the very first moment.

The enormous yachts, luxurious motorboats, and exclusive superyachts were simply breathtaking. One could hardly tear one's eyes away from the elegant lines, state-of-the-art technology, and uncom

On December 21, 2023, I left Switzerland forever and set off for Australia . It wasn't an ordinary farewell – it was a moment filled with wistfulness and sadness , but at the same time accompanied by a deep, happy feeling of taking the step into a new future. Switzerland was home, familiarity, and history. Leaving it wasn't easy. It was especially hard to leave friends , people who had been with me for many years. Goodbyes are never easy, especially when you know that a
