Although a German national, Ralf Hobeck has actually resided outside of his native country for almost half his life. He first ventured abroad to Greece where he worked in guest relations at a premier hotel in Athens. From there he moved to Sydney, Australia where he held an exclusive post as personal assistant to a major politician within the Australian Parliament. Soon, with a desire to be more independent, he followed his entrepreneurial instincts and in Sydney he opened, managed and ultimately sold for a profit, two very successful natural food and juice bars. It was then, in 2004, he decided to return to a place which he had visited some years before---BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA---and now, it is the place he calls home!
He started BA4U in order to give other foreign visitors a comprehensive insight to vacationing, property ownership, investing, and living in the "Paris of South America"---Buenos Aires!
