My Story

Originally from Switzerland and a graduate of Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, I have always been drawn to places where hospitality, design, and atmosphere come together with intention.

Today I am based in Miami, and co-founder of Here & Away, a curated travel platform built on a simple belief: where you stay becomes the story. We seek out properties with character and soul, places that feel rooted in their landscape and culture.

Travel Style

I focus on independent, design-forward properties that offer more than just comfort.

I am drawn to strong architectural identity, natural settings, intimate scale, and authentic hospitality. Whether it is a secluded villa, a modern alpine retreat, or a boutique hotel in a vibrant neighborhood, I look for atmosphere and depth.

Luxury, for me, is not excess. It is intention, beauty, and connection.

We had a wonderful stay at Made Hotel New York with our family. A big thank you to Hear & Away Trip Advisor for recommending this great spot—it was a perfect choice for us. The hotel has a unique, cozy atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome, while still feeling stylish and thoughtfully designed.
