My coworkers gave me a sandwich guide as a leaving present.
An inside joke… too long to explain.
Anyway, the guide has a section on *international sandwiches*.
Right. Well, the UK’s done it again.
The best its cuisine has to offer is:
a chip sandwich.
Chips. Between bread.
Wow.
🇨🇭 The lie I was told before moving to Switzerland:
“You need to speak German or French to work here.”
False.
In tech, English is enough. If you’re good, of course.
🇨🇭 Why is Switzerland a saver’s paradise?
What you save in Spain in 10 years, you can save here in 5.
💰 Salaries that let you save without living on rice and water. 🩸 Taxes that don’t bleed you dry. 🌱 Stability that gives you peace of mind.
🇨🇭 Moving to Switzerland was the biggest social elevator I’ve ever experienced.
I couldn’t be more grateful to this country and its people
When I stop working at the end of March, I’m going to take a well-deserved vacation.
What do you recommend I do with my free time?
It’s strange to live in a country, a city, a home that your friends, family, and partner will never know. A job and a life that remain a blur to everyone you love.
In Switzerland, I work like a beast: day, evening and night, with no breaks, not even on weekends. I stick to a strict diet, train hard and sleep almost perfectly.
Torture? Not at all. I love the grind, but I also enjoy relaxing and spending time with my girlfriend, friends and family.
That’s why I go back to Spain once a month.
The best of both worlds
🇨🇭 Pros of living in Switzerland:
• Free coffee at the hairdresser’s • Stunning mountain scenery • Quality "public" transport • Very polite people • Political and economic stability • Multiculturalism • A stone’s throw from everywhere in Europe
What else?

Packing my bags again.
It’s been a few short but intense weeks at the office…
Next stop: Madeira. 🌊🏝️
