You take a lot of things for granted in your daily life that can make living abroad a challenging, absurd, hilarious, and life-changing adventure.
What do you mean I can’t do laundry on Sunday?
Why do I have to buy government-issued trash bags?
Why is that small child holding a blow-torch?
How can I be fined for taking a turkey across international borders?
Living in Basel, Switzerland was the greatest adventure of my life. While not every moment was glamorous, it certainly was educational. For two years I learned about life in Europe, adapted to a whole new culture and way of thinking, and hunkered down for the Global Covid Pandemic.
Not your standard memoir, not your standard guidebook, Swiss You Were Here is a frank and humorous collection of observations on how I navigated settling in and lived each day to its fullest in the coolest city in Switzerland
