At the age of 16 he went to Paris for the first time. In 1979 he met there the Lebanese poet and playwright Georges Schehadé who opened to him new poetical horizons and whom he visited regularly until his death in 1989. In Switzerland he became friends with the writers Erika Burkart, Hugo Loetscher, Alice Rivaz and Walter Vogt.
