OUR STORY
It started with one Swiss story.
When I moved to Switzerland in 2016, My Swiss Story began as a blog – a place to document the moving, the settling, the figuring-it-out and everything nobody really tells you about building a life somewhere new.
What began as one expat’s story slowly became something much bigger.
A community. A place to ask questions. A platform for women’s voices. A space for conversations about careers, identity, belonging and starting again.
Ten years later, My Swiss Story has grown and evolved in ways I could never have imagined. But at its heart, the purpose remains remarkably simple:
To help people feel a little less alone while figuring out what comes next.
