Swiss chef and gastronomic entrepreneur Javier Rocca, who has traveled to 62 countries, chose Paraguay to live and do business. In a video posted on Instagram, he explained the reasons that led him to settle in the country after diverse international experiences.
Born in Switzerland, raised in Argentina, and with a professional trajectory in Spain and other destinations, Rocca highlighted Paraguay's economic stability, social peace, and banking system as decisive factors. He also emphasized the quality of the people, referring colloquially to Paraguayans in a positive way and with humor about the local climate.
According to the chef, his decision was not based solely on business opportunities, but also on the possibility of living in an environment he considers stable and peaceful. Rocca is the chef and owner of the established Asunción restaurant D’Alepo Cocina de Origen, where he applies his international experience to a local gastronomic business.
Rocca's perspective adds to reports from other foreigners who, after experiencing various global realities, chose Paraguay as a place to live and work. His singular trajectory – passing through dozens of countries before the final choice – offers a comparative look that values the conditions found in the country.
