Joined Atlas Obscura in 2026
I am a Zurich-based tourism expert and founder of The Zurich Insider, a Swiss company specializing in private cultural tours and tailor-made journeys across Switzerland. I guide travelers through Zurich's history, architecture, sacred spaces, and hidden infrastructure—including the Cold War bunker network beneath the old town —as The Washington Post quoted. A former employed professional turned entrepreneur, I speak on Swiss travel trends, layover tourism, women's history, heritage storytelling, and running a small business in Switzerland.
