Coming from a culturally diverse family, that includes ancestors from both Germany and Sweden, Bjorn Koch learned to communicate in many different languages at an early age. Bjorn Koch can speak four different languages, including German, Swedish, English, and Spanish. These skills have allowed Bjorn to further immerse himself into the culture of the countries he loves so much to visit.
