Robert and Melinda emigrated from the USA to Switzerland in 2007. When Melinda is not hiking in the Swiss Alps, she spends time with her family. She works as an educator, curriculum developer and is co-author of two books. Robert is a family man, engineer, photographer, co-author and always on the lookout for fine baked goods. Melinda and Robert Schoutens love to explore the Swiss Alps with their children Noah and Tessa. Their special treat? Tasting all the apple pies they come across on their way.
