“I am relocating to Switzerland but am unsure of where to move to, can anyone offer advice?” is a common query from people preparing to relocate within our several Facebook Groups. It is inevitable that there would then be a plethora of responses from expats recommending the same location where they currently reside. While this is not surprising, it does not benefit the individual who is open to moving somewhere in a new country.
Bloggers may write about the TOP 10 PLACES TO LIVE IN Switzerland or the BEST 5 Places for Expats, but they do not truly understand what it is like to be an expat since only expats can write about what it is really like to live in a foreign country; the viewpoint that expats have when living in a new country is very different from that of someone who is taking a gap year and travels to several cities in a short period of time.
The answer we have come up with is straightforward: within our Facebook Groups (Link), we are inviting members who are writing in the groups to create a brief contribution to Expat life in their region. This will provide those who are trying to find an answer to the original question with a much more in-depth and meaningful article to read than a repackaged list of the top 5 places to live in Switzerland or the best 10 beach resorts in Switzerland, etc.
You are invited to contribute your experiences as an expat in Switzerland using the submission form found under the ARTICLES link on the main menu.
We hope you find this post useful and that it aids in your move to Switzerland. It will only get longer, so it’s worth bookmarking and coming back to.
