Born an expat to an American father and a very British mother I was raised in Zurich, Switzerland. Having completed my Swiss degree, I fled to the United States to university and came running back “home” to Europe 2 years later to finish my studies in Italy.
I found myself a job in the International city of Geneva where my Marketing&Sales career blossomed for nearly 10 years when I fell in love with a gorgeous Italian man.
I turned my whole life around, abandoned my career in fragrance and cosmetics and with THE ring on my finger said goodbye to friends and family before being swooped off to our first expat destination, my dream port of call: Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Our son was born a porteno and proud of it. Two years later we moved to Paris only to move again after six months, this time to Milano where our daughter was born. A real Milanese.
Enjoying a three year stint in Madrid - a city all 4 of us fell hopelessly in love with - we are now based in the Metropolitan city of Lugano, Switzerland.
Without planning I have returned back to my roots so to say and my husband and kids are getting a healthy dose of Swiss discipline and education.
Personally I am lacking the hustle and bustle of a big city and therefore decided to undertake some territory discovery of my own via a blog.
Welcome to my world....Expat with Kids!
