While I was born and grew up in Switzerland – the country that feels like my home – I consider myself a citizen of the world. I have travelled to 70 countries and have no intention to stop, as I come alive even more when discovering foreign places and cultures. My name is Noémie, I am 35 years old, I am a lawyer and notary public working in aviation. I have a thousand dreams.

- solving a Rubik’s cube in less than 90 seconds
- dancing badly (but with passion)
- climbing trees and have a drink on top
- bivouacking in the mountains
- solving escape rooms
- going to music festivals
The Top Four entries on my bucket list are:

I believe the meaning of life is “to live”; to fill your days and weeks and years with unforgettable experiences. To form friendships and to be forever grateful to the people who taught and shaped you. To share your passions and to listen to other people’s passions in order to create something extraordinary together.
The -> Holstee Manifesto plays an important role in my life.
