Meet Ambassador: Hugger since 2006, I still organize sessions twice a week in Lausanne & Sion (Switzerland) on Wednesdays and Fridays in train stations. I use to make it for something like 3h each time and I’ve sometimes some friends with me (or some people I don’t know who wanted to join for a moment), but I usually do it alone.
Several times during the year I organize some other sessions, or just attend to existing ones in the whole country.

Why Free Hugs: Free hugs for me are a real way of life. I love sharing smiles and joy with everybody… And there’s so much other things to share, but if you’re hugger you definitely know what I’m talkin about and if you’re not yet, you’ll experienced that.
I’m already part of Global Free Hugs since a few time. Carol could tell you more about that, but It’s about two years. Organizing events in Switzerland and helping for some others in France &/or Belgium.
