One year ago, we were still living in Milan, quite busy arranging our wedding. Little did we know that only 8 months later (and 2 months after our wedding) we would find ourselves starting a new adventure in Zurich, Switzerland.
We knew we wanted to spend some time abroad together, start a new project which involved moving away from Italy (once again, as we both lived in different places before), but this time do it as a (married) couple.
And Zurich turned out to be the place.
Shame on me really, as I did not know this place at all before moving (and it is only a 3 hours and a half drive away from Milan!). It was always one of those places I knew existed on the map, but not really alluring enough to actually be on my radar for a weekend getaway. There
were dozens of other cities which were more worthwhile visiting before Zurich in my mind at the time.
My associations with Zurich were, so to say, limited: Financial Institutions, Insurances, Money, Lake, Swiss Alps...and maybe that was it. Oh, no! Forgot Chocolate!
And I feel quite mediocre in saying this now!
I'm starting to believe there is so much more to it, and so much understated potential in this place. And I'm saying this not just because I read an article on Monocle about Zurich's high quality of life. There is definitely an interessing blend of factors which make the heart of this City beat.
That's why we wanted to initiate this blog. To take you on an exploring journey with us.
While we settle in our new hometown we hope we will provide some entertaining topics for those who already know this place and some interesting insights that will make you want to come and experience Zurich by yourselves.
