Schauplatz, that’s the founders. Claudia Tönz and Daniel Faller. Since more than ten years we are in South Korea and live and love the country. And we complement each other perfectly: different strengths, areas of expertise and experience make us the ideal Hosts.
It began with Curiosity
From the snowy mountains of Switzerland to the vibrant streets of Seoul, our journey has been one of curiosity, transformation, and the pursuit of meaningful experiences. In 2015, a well-planned career path took an unexpected turn when a peacekeeping mission led Daniel to South Korea, Panmunjeom, and the DMZ. At the same time, Claudia-an experienced consultant with a passion for art, nature, and culture – was navigating global projects across diverse landscapes. When Korea became a shared chapter in both of our lives, it sparked a vision. SCHAUPLATZ was born from our shared passion—to slow down, to immerse, and to cultivate cultural exchanges that inspire and transform.
“It takes freedom to chase your dreams – and passion to turn the impossible into reality. The present is all we have, so what’s holding you back from taking the leap?”
– Daniel Thomas Faller, Founder
When the distance calls, he listens carefully: The visionary photographer has left his comfortable life behind and followed his passion. Landed in South Korea, he brings people together and plans individual trips for his customers. The Swiss-born initiator, mediator and networker has his roots in the travel industry, which are growing and consolidating daily. Daniel mediates between cultures, knows how to put on international events and is a born host.
Claudia, a passionate and intrepid traveler: Having worked as a consultant for many years, she has managed various global projects in a wide variety of countries. She avoids standstill, in change she finds the constant, in nature the tranquility, in art and culture the inspiration. Claudia listens, responds to wishes, takes concerns seriously, seeks and finds solutions – for her friends as well as for clients.
