ABOUT ME

My name is Benjamin Mueller, I`m 28 years old (1984) and I grew up in Oberweningen (little village 20 km in the north from Zurich, Switzerland). I`ve got lovely parents Urs (1951) and Edith (1951), a sister Maya (1979) and a brother Martin (1981). After finishing my studies as an spatial planner I worked for three years at a private office in St.Gallen (city in the east of Switzerland).

In my sparetime I enjoy most to be with my girlfriend Sylvie or with my best friends. Together we spend funny, exciting, adventurous or relaxed moments like: barbeque in the forest, swimming in the river, doing sports (like tennis, football / soccer, squash, jogging,...), drinking coffe and talking all night long at the kitchentable, going out for some beers, hiking in the montains, watching GOOD movies and ... playing games (like Settlers / Siedler, Risk / Risiko or playing cards).

And, of course, when time and money allows it, I love to travel to unknown parts of the world and discover culture and history of the place.

Der Weg ist das Ziel!
