It Tastes Spanish to Me

May 30, 2011 15 comments

When Summer approaches, the only thing I can possibly think of is spanish food. Could there be anything that screams beach and sunshine more than a paella with meat and sea food? I’m grateful for having found a bunch of people that feel the same way I do about food (and drinks) in Switzerland. People [...]

Finding an Upside to Switzerland’s Housing Shortage

May 25, 2011 24 comments

Before I start rambling, I want to thank you all for your warm words, support and encouragement on my upcoming move to London – you made my day! :) Even though I’m generalizing for Switzerland in the title of this post, the housing shortage is really a problem for cantons Geneva, Zurich and Vaud – [...]

There’s Something I Am Dying to Tell You

May 22, 2011 36 comments

I’ve been keeping a secret from you, but can’t hold it back anymore. I’m moving to London in September! I got the offer to move within the company and the current department I work for to London. Although the tasks and projects will still remain the same, this is a big jump in my career. [...]

After finishing my one month summer french course in Nice, I went on a road trip through the South of France. This was already 5 years ago. Time flies, and my french isn’t getting any better!

Finding Home in Switzerland

Croquetas de Jamón When traveling or living abroad, you will sooner or later encounter something familiar, something that will transport us back to where we come from.

Small is Beautiful (Confession of a Food Enthusiast)

May 16, 2011 35 comments

I have a confession to make. Ok, it might not be exactly a confession since you will probably have noticed and deduced it from my blog – Switzerland has turned me into a bon vivant. I’ve always enjoyed the taste of food. It was clear to me that I wouldn’t be able to resist in [...]

Picture This: Something Blue

May 13, 2011 24 comments

As far as my childhood memory reaches back in time, blue has always been my favorite color. I’m not talking about cyan or light blue – but an intensive deep midnight blue. That midnight blue is the color of the Atlantic Ocean. I thought I’d never find it anywhere else – specially not in Switzerland, [...]

You might have heard about the French Riviera – the French coastline that extends from around St. Tropez to the italian border and has been long known to be a playground for the rich and the famous.

Filets de Perche: A speciality in the area of Lac Léman On my first trip to Geneva, back in 2006, a friend’s family took us unexperienced spaniards to a small restaurant near the lake. Its speciality was local fish. We ordered filet the perche – an indigenous specie in Lac Léman served in small fillets [...]

May 6, 2011 13 comments

For those of you who are new to my blog, let me shortly explain why I’m writing about Latin-American expressions when I’m actually living in Switzerland. It’s quite simple: I live in the french side of Switzerland but don’t make any use of french at work. I work in an international company (that is, most [...]
