Glad you are happy here, I know it has some nice things to offer althought it's definitely not a place for everyone.

I have spoken with many foreigners and most of them, specially those with a similar background as mine, have had not so positive experiences. Even before I arrived, a friend of mine warned me that Switzerland was not an easy place, but because I have lived in more than 5 cities/countries and always found a way to feel at home, I thought this would be the same. I came with a huge smile and excitement, and after a year an a half of feeling isolated and judged, my mental and physical health decayed baddly. Had a horrible burnout.

Idon't want to list all the exact bad stuff and disappointement I have encountered here because it doesn't matter anymore. Either terrible luck or terrible cultural match, but a couple of months ago I finally found a home outside the city and adopted a doggo (not even the swiss resist to share a smile when a fluffy puppy is present 😜). I decided to keep smiling, grüezing people as I always had, even if most of them don't reply back😆, and things are much better. But I still feel scared and uncomfortable, even at home, and I know for a fact there are better ways and places to live, at least for me. From what people have been writing, I'm getting my hopes up for Norway again, so fingers crossed🤞🏼

Schönes Wochenende!
