Frequently Asked Questions

What the heck is going on here?

This is Mike and Hannah's travel blog. Here, we recount our adventures as Americans living abroad in Switzerland. Updates to this blog will occur as noteworthy (for us, anyway) things happen and as time allows.

Who are you, again?

Mike and Hannah are married yuppies from Albany, California. Mike works as a strategy consultant to companies making healthcare products and Hannah is a food and beverage publicist. We are affable folk who make great cocktail party guests.

When did all this happen? 

In December 2019, Mike and Hannah left their home in Albany, California to live abroad in Zurich, Switzerland. We are scheduled to stay here for about a year.

What exactly makes you a good fit for Switzerland?

We're rather neat for Americans, but probably insufficiently so for the Swiss. We know a handful of German phrases; we're particularly good at, "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" We like chocolate, especially Mike. 

My God. Who in the world thought this was a good idea?

Mike's employer asked if he would be willing to take a position working in their Zug, Switzerland (outside of Zurich) office. We jumped at the opportunity.
