Just like most people, we did not fly for quite some time after the pandemic hit. We went abroad by train twice last year (Milan, Hamburg). This summer, though, we were on our first flight in more than a year and a half. We flew to Sarajevo, rented a car and drove to Dubrovnik, Croatia.

We have also managed to grow as a roastery and move to a new, bigger location.   Bern, Switzerland This is where I live (or nearby at least). Due to the pandemic, we spent more time in this beautiful city and in its surroundings in 2020 than ever before.   Gstaad, Switzerland My family has a beautiful […]
