10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE MOVING TO SWITZERLAND

Hi Famollie! Join me today for a reflective chat as I share about 10 things I wish I knew before moving to Switzerland in February 2019. It's since been 5 long years, and i'm proud that I'd assimilated and learnt so much about life in Switzerland, and I'm excited to share all that I've learned with you. If you too are thinking move abroad, whether to Switzerland or somewhere in Europe, I hope this video will help you out with your planning and inspire you to take that leap of faith. (Sorry guys for the darker lighting this time round... I was using a different DSLR for this video and the setting went wonky!)
