    "If you have a dream in your life, go for it" says Kateřina Fialková, Her Excellency ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein #27

    What was it like to meet and greet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. or shake hands with the Japanese emperor? And why do girls in Japan wear shoes two sizes bigger than their feet? And why is Switzerland a country she will always come back to even after leaving her diplomatic status? The journey of serving her homeland started as a pure coincidence a few decades ago in Cyprus when Czechoslovakia still existed as a repressive totalitarian state where freedom was forbidden. She decided to do a better job one day as a citizen and here she is today, an appointed ambassador of Czechia in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, in one of the highest diplomatic positions. Luckily, times change!

    "As a stay-at-home mum, I often felt the need to defend that decision" says Hana, an expat wife and blogger who followed her husband and their three children to Switzerland. #25

    Moving abroad is a challenge in itself, yet giving up your career and leaving your comfort zone may feel even more challenging. Hanka Hurábová did exactly both. And it has not been an easy decision as she admits. Why did she decide to stay at home with her children and how did she end up cooperating with tourist agencies like Wandermagazin Schweiz or Ticino Turismo? Does she regret any of her decisions and what does she find peculiar about the Swiss way of life?  If you are into hiking and travelling, find out more here:  https://www.ourswissexperience.com/en/ Instagram & Facebook: our_swiss_experience

    "As an expat single stuck abroad, the times like the Covid pandemic may hit you even harder than imagined" say Aleksandra and Petra, two expats in Belgium and Germany #23

    This time a bit different: two ladies from the same region, yet from different countries, sharing their expat experiences from the perspective of a single relocating for a job and a better future to Belgium and Germany. Polyglots, language and translation professionals, expat souls and my friends whom I met on my internship in the EU Parliament in Luxembourg have been my dear guests on Exlander.  Petra Mesić relocated to Germany from Croatia for a job at Electronic Arts and has pursued her career within a different company since then. She has shared some of the culture shocks she initially encountered, her single online dating expat experience (spoiler alert: not all Germans are polyamorous:-) and her realistic, yet emotional relationship to her homeland.  During the covid pandemic she started a youtube channel called Piotra and as an avid trained choi singer she has released a song playing ukulele:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQRDG05uEIYMEA3X2aKYKPg Aleksandra Starčević is of Serbian origin and comes from Slovenia. She works at the European Network of Political Foundations in Brussels and has lived in Luxembourg, Iceland and Portugal before settling in Belgium. She has shared bits and pieces of what it is like to live in the EU bubble, her relationship towards the Balkans and what the expat single experience looks like. If you want to hear some tips on how to integrate as a single expat abroad and yet learn something new, this episode is an absolute must.  *update: Germany is no longer in the harsh lockdown as it was when recording this episode. Let's celebrate!:-)

    "Do it now or never, live your dream every day": from a bartender to a video content creator who left Slovakia and settled in Switzerland to follow his passion #20

    One doesn't have to agree with everything Juraj says to admit that he has some real balls. Leaving everything at the age of 34 to move to a foreign country with no knowledge of French and starting from scratch, that requires some portion of courage and perseverance which is not for everyone. This interview is full of motivation and inspiration, overcoming obstacles and brutal honesty about how you have to adapt your mindset if you want to achieve your biggest dream. He runs his own content creating business and in order to have a glimpse into what the final result of his creative process looks like you can visit his Instagram profile: nowornevervdo or find him under https://nowornevervdo.ch.
