At home
What are your living arrangements?
I live in Thun, in a quiet and typically Swiss family housing development. The small garden around our house is my pride and joy. It is part vegetable patch, part lawn and shrubbery. The house is on one floor and pretty compact inside.
How would you describe your home?
The interior is rather minimalist, with only a few special pieces of furniture.

What is your favourite piece of clothing?
I love my bright green summer jacket. It comes to my hips, is very tailored but flairs out a little at the back. It has large gold buttons and a belt with a gold buckle.
How would your friends describe you?
Reliable, creative, a bit solitary but kind;)
