A new chapter in Switzerland
We moved to Zurich just over a week ago after more than 8 and a half years living in London. As you can imagine, it’s a culture shock – or maybe I should say, a wonderful change of pace shock! And the amazing thing about travel and really embracing it, is not to judge one […]
