Biography

I grew up in Geneva, and although I am deeply attached to my city, I have always wanted to know how people live, love and think elsewhere.

Three years as a delegate for the International Committee of the Red Cross allowed me to go beyond the surface of the Middle East and Rwanda. Love of music then took me to Cairo, where I studied the oud (Arabic lute) on and off for five years. Another love, Cristiane, has allowed me to forge close links with Brazil, from 2013.
