Kobjælder og alpelandskaber. Bjerge og sne. Vin og ostefondue. Bønder og kvindefrigørelse.

Her kan du følge med i alt, hvad der sker, når man under finanskrisen beslutter sig for, at det er en god idé at 1) forlade et velbetalt job for at 2) flytte sammen med en relativt ukendt mand i et 3) land, man ikke kan placere på et landkort, hvor de 4) taler fire forskellige sprog, hvoraf man 5) ikke forstår et eneste.

Dette er min blog om livet i Schweiz, i byen Geneve, på matriklen Rue des Pâquis. Min blog om alt det, jeg bliver fascineret af, undrer mig over eller slet og ret ikke fatter.

Cowbells and Alpine landscapes. Mountains and snow. Wine and cheese fondue. Farmers and women’s lib.

On this blog you can keep track of what happens when someone decides, during the recession, that it is a great idea to 1) leave a well-paid job to 2) move in with a relatively unknown man in a 3) country they cannot place on a map, in which they 4) speak four different languages, of which 5) they understand not a single one.

This is my blog about life in Switzerland, in the city of Geneva, on Rue des Pâquis. About all the things that fascinate me, make me wonder or simply boggle my mind.

Jeg er bosiddende i Geneve sammen med kameramanden Alain, der støvede mig op på en konference, hvor vi (næsten) var de eneste, der kunne se noget. Bogstaveligt talt.

Derudover er jeg indehaver af mainplot, hvor jeg hjælper små- og mellemstore virksomheder med at få styr på "dét der kommunikation".

I live in Geneva with Alain the cameraman, who hijacked me at a conference where we (almost) were the only ones who could see. Literally.

Moreover, I am the founder of mainplot, though which I help small and medium sized businesses get a grip on today’s communication.
