自我介绍

Tim grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where he also got his bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Psychology (double major). Thereafter, came a voyage that finally ended up in Geneva, Switzerland more than 30 years ago. Up until a few years ago, he was an active athlete in the polevault, finishing 4th at the World Veterans Indoor Championships in 2008 in the current world record holder's home stadium. Now, he loves to practice organic gardening, hiking and cooking. If you need tips on getting around Geneva, he knows the nooks and crannies as only someone whose preferred mode of transport is by bicycle can! Tim would be delighted to exchange points of view on culture, politics, sports and travel - so many places he hasn't been yet! Finally, he really tends by principle to bend over backwards and take that extra step to be helpful, in order to provide an excellent experience for others. Ilona is originally from Kyrgyzstan, but has lived in Geneva for the past 15 years after getting her MA in developmental economics from the University of Reading in the UK. Passionate about dance, the sacred feminine, shamanistic practices and Kyrgyz felt crafts, she speaks (along with Kyrgyz) French, Russian, and English at a near native level. We have lived together for over 5 years now, and have had many amazing experiences which we would be delighted to share. Burning Man anyone?
