Quick facts about Mark Sukhija

I'm from:

It's a long story

I live in:

Zürich, Switzerland

I originally came to Switzerland for 4 to 6 weeks on a temporary assignment. I've been here 9 years to date. It's good. Mostly.

I've lived in:

Paris when I was young before moving to Zagreb in Croatia and then Prague when it was still the capital of Czechoslovakia before going to London. I've been in Switzerland for the last 9 years.

Any correlation between my presence and subsequent wars, seperation of countries or devolution is purely coincidental.

Favorite destination:

Rome, Italy. Every time we go down there, there's something newly discovered which we didn't see the last time.

Pet travel hates:

Airports and flying. Except when they bring the food and drinks trolley. Then it's good until it's over.
