About the author
Jack Ouzi-Bader feels at home in spas and baths like a fish in water. As the child of the lifeguard in Yverdon-les-Bains and Baden, he spent most of his childhood with water wings and diving goggles before heading out into the big wide world. He trained as a technical infusion assistant in Finland and won the ice diving championship in a small town. He then gained his first work experience as a sauna master and qualified water temperature tester in the geysers of Iceland and the onsen in Japan. Spa Hiking Switzerland is Jack`s first book. He is delighted to be able to share his great love of bathing water and nature with others and perhaps inspire them to enjoy steam baths and bubble loungers. Jack represents all the Helvetiq team members who have contributed to this book with their sweat and heart and soul.
