I can’t believe it has already been 2 years since I moved to Switzerland. The journey so far has been a positive one and I am looking forward to the next year! So how did my 2nd year pass by?

Was moving to Switzerland the right choice? Thoughts after visiting London
My verdict on moving to Switzerland after visiting London (my 2nd home) for a week. Is it time to move back or was relocating to Switzerland the right choice?
Can moving abroad kill your inner demons?
Each of us has some personal baggage that we would prefer to get rid of. Whether it’s low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, phobia or something else. Unfortunately, majority of the time we tend to get on with our lives by pushing our problems aside and ignoring the cause. We all probably have tried to get rid …
What has Swiss summer thought me?
Ah, the beautiful summer…The season that brings warmer weather, more daylight and overall just gets everybody out of the house more often than any other time of the year. Whether you spend your summer days lying on the beach, going to music festivals or attending garden parties – summer for most are associated with fun …
What is Switzerland like?

It’s been officially 3 months since we left London and moved to the mountains. Relocating to Switzerland has made me leave my comfort zone and helped me experience a lot of “firsts”. Perhaps some of these things would have happened at some point in my life…nonetheless, these past months have definitely been a roller-coaster. Learning …
Do I miss my life in London?
Since we moved to Switzerland I haven’t once put on something nice… In fact most days I don’t even brush my hair (don’t judge me). So I suppose it is natural, that from time to time I get this sudden urge to put on a dress and spend the evening in a fancy restaurant or …
