It’s been nearly six years since I embarked on this incredible journey, relocating in Switzerland.
I starting to feel so connected to this word – EXPAT and it means being a foreigner in another country without the immediate support of family and friends. Yet, armed with a positive mindset and an insatiable curiosity to explore, I dove into the world of motherhood in a foreign land.
Today, I stand as a testament to starting from scratch, balancing my roles as a student, a digital marketing professional, and, most importantly, a mom in the heart of Europe. Yaaay.
This blog it’s a guide, a companion, and a source of inspiration for fellow expats navigating the beauty and challenges of life in Switzerland. From uncovering kid-friendly spots and engaging in outdoor adventures to embracing the Swiss culture and managing the day-to-day realities of expatriate motherhood, I aim to share insights that resonate with your experiences or fuel your dreams of Swiss living.
