I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, and moved to Geneva in 2004 to go to university. It was a tough adjustment (I was simply not prepared for how cold winter is over here), but today I can’t imagine living somewhere else. The quality of life we have here is unbeatable.

Geneva was also where I discovered my passions: writing, photography, food and wine. I talk about these things and more through my Instagram account, @brightaylor and on Twitter, @Bri_GHTaylor

CARO BLACKWELL

Contributor – Photographer – Social Media

I am Caro a passionate foodie and wine lover, photographer and traveler. Yes I’m the annoying one that always has to photograph my food before eating it!

I love my life in the Genevois region having moved here over ten years ago from the UK. The mountains in the winter and lakeside in the summer. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and lived in the Caribbean as a chef on a charter yacht for several years.

I’m a CIM marketing professional specializing in digital and social media, a wordpress web designer and I qualified with a diploma from the Photography Institute as a professional photographer. My food passions are indulged on my blog Taste of Savoie and my photography is showcased on Caro Blackwell.com and on Instagram you can see what I eat and where I travel.

I love seeking out new places to eat, things to do and to see in Geneva and the beautiful region I live in.

I was born in Amsterdam, but have left the Netherlands many years ago. After having lived in France, I moved to Geneva in 2003 and almost immediately met my French-Swiss husband. We now have two children, and they would not want to live anywhere else but here. I love the nature that surrounds Geneva, and I consider ourselves lucky!

Coming from a flat country below sea level, I love the fact that on a grey day with low clouds, you could choose to drive up the mountain to catch some sunbeams! Geneva’s central location is also convenient for us, as our family lives either in Amsterdam or in the South of France.

I have a passion for travel, food, and learning about different cultures and write about that on my blog called Let’s Explore. It is a family travel blog which also has a recipe series, with recipes from around the world shared by locals.

This recipe series has been a very enriching experience, since it makes us learn from cultures, on different ways of cooking, and, I get to know some of the great people that live in this international area!

Originally from Yorkshire in the UK, I moved to Geneva in 2009 after living in London, Hong Kong and Sydney. I’m a huge fan of the climate in Geneva and I adore the fascinating mix of people. As a great lover of theatre, dance, music and art, I find Geneva’s arts scene a bit frustrating but there are some good finds.

I qualified in 2018 as a clinical reflexologist and travel to client’s homes all over Geneva to treat them. I believe reflexology to be a fabulous tool to enhance and improve physical and mental wellbeing and I have a special interest in women’s health. Visit my website or email reflexologysarah@yahoo.com to find out more.

My other passion is travel and for a long time now, I have offered a travel planning service: Inspire My Travel. It is aimed at people overloaded with holiday options and no time to research them, something I love to do.
