Luc Berthoud (1978)
About me:
I moved to Geneva when I was two years old with my parents and my brother. After living 14 years in Meyrin we moved near Carouge. I’m now living on my own in the Plainpalais area.
I studied business (HEC) in Geneva and worked for Citibank for 3 years before leaving to South America for 2 years of adventure! After coming back at the beginning of 2008, I could not go back working in an office. Thus I worked one year for the little beach – restaurant “Les Bains des Paquis” (see this this article) and I’m currently teaching in the secondary school.
I needed to go abroad for a while to really enjoy my city Geneva. I had never seen it that pretty and interesting since I came back from my 2 years trip.
My favorite spots in Geneva are:
- Les bains des Paquis (see this article)
- The junction of the 2 rivers (Rhône and Arve)
- Le café du Lys (see this article)
Why Geneva?
This is my HOME, my city where most of my friends and closest family live, where I have lived my best and worst moments. So many memories.
I love:
- Its proximity to the nature (I like swimming in the lake jumping into the river, running in the forest, snowboarding in the Alps…)
- A city that allows you to bicycle everywhere…
- Its multicultural aspect that allows you to meet people from different countries and lifestyles
- Great food, good restaurants & snacks available at any time!
