New Zealand = space, colours, fresh air and freedom. A tour of the South island is like a trip through many different countries. At every corner there is beauty...and at every corner it is different. From glaciers, to rainforests, mountains, lakes, beaches, vineyards and oceans...New Zealand has got it all. Check out the map in combination with the photos in the gallery to find out more about this spectacular country on the other side of the world...only a 2 days' flight away. 

Great run through the winding streets of Geneva's old town in a relaxed ambience. Ready for the 2012 edition...hopefully slightly more prepared (and less sore the day after...)

If you haven't already...check out Lenny Kravitz's latest retro sounding feel good song! (Your day just might get a little better...)

The 8 best tennis players concluded the season in the London O2 throughout the past 10 days. A great tournament with a fun ambience and an audience that appreciates the show that the champions of this sport put on after a long season...

The biggest expert in "long distance" seasons was once again Roger Federer who managed his 70th career title in his 100th final! Chapeau & Congratulations!

November in Zermatt means: accomodation prices are still affordable, lift ticket prices are as high as always, piste conditions are as good as always and the place is just as magical (you may have guessed it...) as always! If you (like me) can't wait to open the 2011 ski season you should head up the Valais to the most famous of all Swiss mountain villages. One thing is for sure - if you live in the Léman region...it seems that the wait for snow in closer regions could last a while...no snow in sight...(yet)

It's great to have some new material from some of the greatest story tellers out there. If you haven't already...check out Coldplay's newest video for their song "Paradise". It may inspire you...but it will for sure put a smile on your face:-) Enjoy!

Remember to sign up for Geneva's annual run through the Vielle Ville on the 3rd of December...I'll be a part of it this year. Will you?

Be in touch if you'd like to be part of it next year...whether as a guest or as a performer...we'd love to hear from you and meet you!

Until next year...enjoy this year's acts online

The Swiss idea started in 1291 and is still going strong...what better way to honour the swiss birthday (1st of August) than spending an evening on the shores of the Léman; warmed by a bonfire  and a glass of white wine. (Note to self for next year: beware of the stray fireworks set off by over enthusiastic parents and their children with oversized candle-lit Swiss lanterns…)

One for all, all for one!
