Swiss punctuality mixed with the joie de vivre of Cubans
Our Team
A Swiss woman who has now spent almost half of her life in Cuba. However, she would still love to eat Swiss raclette cheese every other day. As a flexitarian she benefits from the fact that Swiss cheese cannot be found in Cuba. In her spare time, she enjoys doing sports and often listens to podcasts. She is also often active in the kitchen and grows the missing produce herself. She collects the seedlings and trees from all over the island.
Our first and therefore longest employee came to the capital Havana after working for 25 years in an industrial city in the east of the island without any tourist attractions. Her degree in German studies is her passport and has already offered her many interesting opportunities. She enjoys practicing traditional Cuban recipes and if there is an opportunity to dance, she is always there.
Was born and grew up in Miramar, a neighbourhood near the sea in Havana. He completed a degree in education, specializing in Spanish literature. Later, his passion for the tourism industry led him to obtain a further degree in this field. He appreciates the exciting work in the travel industry and at the same time enjoys the peace and quiet that his home offers, even if he doesn’t close the windows to the hustle and bustle of the streets of Havana.
was born and grew up in Havana. She studied German and worked as a translator for six years. Odette loves music and is a big fan of K-dramas. In her free time, she enjoys practicing yoga and not a day goes by without her doing a bit of dancing.
was born in Havana and has a degree in education. She lived in Germany as a child, which explains her love of languages. Her discovery of the world of tourism led her to dedicate herself fully to this industry. In her free time, she loves the beach, dancing, spending time with good friends and traveling.
his German studies led him into the fascinating world of tourism, where he worked as a tour guide. He lives, thinks and feels Cuba through his personal experience and knows every corner of the country. Despite the “competition” from audiovisual media, he enjoys reading a good book. He always sees problems as opportunities for growth. His slogan: “Always ready!”
Born in the east of Cuba, she came to Havana like so many others in search of new opportunities. She eventually settled there until she decided to start a new conquest. Now she lives a little further north, on the other side of the Caribbean. She loves the sea, even though she still can’t swim, but the sound of the waves and the fresh air alone calm her down.
Cuban born in San Jose de las Lajas, a small town in the countryside in the province of Mayabeque, relatively close to Havana. The new mother loves Creole food, but she would swap any dish for milk, chocolate and honey. In her free time, she enjoys reading Christian literature and spending time with her fellow believers. She also enjoys visiting her grandmother’s country house and strolling through the various fruit plantations.
Cuban, born and raised in the countryside. She only discovered the world of tourism after successfully completing her Bachelor of Education degree. She currently lives in the middle of the capital of all Cubans, but she still misses the color of the haze, the starry sky, the chirping of crickets and the glow of fireflies. At home, she works out diligently, but her favorite thing to do is to go to the sea on her roller skates (or bike, depending on the road conditions) to eat chocolate. She likes to party to Cuban salsa and relax to pop music.
Born in Switzerland and changed his career as an electronics technician for tourism. Has a preference for sweets, especially for Bundt cakes. To compensates for those calories, he prefers sport activities such as SUP, yoga, biking, diving and hiking. As a golfer, he is unfortunately (still) no good. He likes to look for cozy bars and relaxing places to smoke a Cuban cigar with relish. From time to time, he also accompanies customers personally on request. He enjoys fishing on the catamaran trips and likes to surprise guests with home-baked sourdough bread.
