Hey,

my name is Ana. I created this blog to show the real, not-always-glamorous side of emigration. On social media, we often only see picture-perfect success stories, but moving to a new country is a massive challenge.

Here, I share my personal experience of adapting to life in Switzerland: from bureaucratic hurdles and language barriers to deep personal crises. This blog is about how hard it can be to piece yourself back together far from home, but more importantly, it’s about the fact that it is absolutely possible. If you are also going through a difficult time or looking for the motivation to make a change, welcome. You are not alone.
