Hello, fellow wanderers and curious souls!
Welcome to our little nook of the Internet, where we, Katya and Sascha, chronicle our adventures and misadventures as fresh expats in the stunning land of Switzerland. Having recently made the Alpine nation our home, we’re on a thrilling journey of discovery, unraveling the enigma that is Swiss life, one bite of chocolate, one mountain trail, and one quirky local tradition at a time.
Neither of us are professional writers or photographers, but we hope that this space offers an unfiltered and genuine glimpse into the life of newcomers in Switzerland. From the intricate etiquette of Swiss social interactions to the awe-inspiring vistas of the Alps; from the snug little cafés in Zurich to the vibrant farmers markets in Geneva; our experiences are shared with you through our own lenses.
Whether you’re a fellow expat seeking solace in shared experiences, someone considering a move to Switzerland, or simply a daydreamer longing for Alpine tales, you’re in the right place. Join us as we navigate new terrains, both literal and cultural, savoring cheese fondues and deciphering the multifaceted layers of Swiss German.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
–Marcel Proust
Our journey as expats is more than just about adapting to a new country; it’s about embracing change, celebrating differences, and cherishing every moment of surprise. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, get cozy, and dive into our tales of being newly-minted Swiss residents, always eager and always open to what this beautiful country has to offer.
Welcome to our Swiss journey. We’re so glad you’re here with us.
Warm wishes, Katya & Sascha
