About Me

I am a wine enthusiast and I love broad musical varieties. I like tasty food and anything else that stimulates my palate. I'm also a music freak consuming all kind of music. wine, whisky, cigars and long excessive nights are my favourite pass-times... love long summer nights, BBQ with my friends, barhopping, live bands, fast cars, DVD nights. I was born in switzerland, but I am half swiss - half turkish. my dad lives on the turkish riviera now - I am visiting him every year. A couple of years ago I was just travelling and visiting the world. the total beach boy - I love the tropics, palmtrees and little bungalows. I've travelled over 25 countries but I am still looking out for the sweet spot for my retirement... But for now I will stay here in my home country of switzerland where I've just started a new a job in a music booking agency. I'm an open hearted, irrational, generous friend. I can speak 6 languages, so go ahead - talk to me!
