In my blog about life in Switzerland I write a about Swiss food, Places to visit, traditions, language, nature, holidays and basically everything Swiss. I live in greater Zurich area and most of my post relate to the German speaking part of Switzerland but visits and stories from the French and Italian speaking parts (as well as some visits to the neighboring countries) will find their way into my blog as well. Enjoy!

Despite not being an expat anymore (lived 4 years abroad) I can identify with the challenges and peculiarities of discovering your new home. Moving back to my country of origin Switzerland has been almost as challenging as leaving it five years ago. Now, I see my country from a different point of view and love to write about its little quirks and peculiarities.
