I am originally from the UK but I have been living in beautiful Switzerland for the past six years.
I first came here in 2008 and totally fell in love with the country and I knew that I had to come back. So, after completing training in the UK, I finally found a position where I could be in the country I wanted to be in.
So why Schwenglish?
For nearly two years I have been in a happy relationship with a wonderful Swiss man, who is helping to improve my Schwiizertüütsch and knowledge of all things Swiss. In return, I am giving him the opportunity to learn about all things British (which mainly consists of complaining about the weather and being sarcastic).
But now we are about to embark on the next stage of our journey together and possibly the scariest step so far.
I’m pregnant!
It’s early days yet and we haven’t even told our families yet but I need to have an outlet where I can talk about my thoughts, feelings and fears as I go through what is bound to be an emotional rollercoaster for the next few months (and let’s be honest, beyond…). This will be the first baby for both of us so along with the excitement there is a hefty dose of ‘eek!’ in there too!
We are both really excited about this next step in our lives and I am so happy to be able to share this journey with you all!
