Why I traveled across the globe in search of Ayahuasca at the age of 21

My life was pretty basic for quite a long time. I grew up in a middle-class family together with my younger sister. We lived in Switzerland where we had our own beautiful house near the woods and just everything a young boy could only dream of. Later on, my parents started a new business in the gastronomy and as you probably all know, this means hard work. So they found this very beautiful location in a small town in Switzerland close to a river with a unique view. They started working on a simple but very appealing concept — a basic Italian kitchen with a great focus on self-made food and sustainable sources of products. It was fascinating how the business prospered right on from the beginning. Despite the place being quite some time away from cities, people came from all over Switzerland only to eat at our place.

I then went down and I saw my father trying to resuscitate our mother. But it was too late. She took the decision that she wants to leave this earthly plane and committed suicide. I remember myself crying deeply and sitting next to her body for a long time. It was a terrible and yet interesting moment. I didn’t realize it in this particular moment, but now I’m completely aware that during the time I was around her dead body, I was able to be part of her transition momentum into other dimensions. Even she was…
