How We left America for Switzerland
For more on life as an American in Switzerland subscribe to @therealedit22 This is our story of how we moved to Switzerland as a family of 5 Americans. It wasn't always what we planned for, but the unexpected turns kept us on our toes and helped us evaluate what was right for us. I share the full story behind how we almost moved to Portugal — until a last-minute job offer completely changed our plans and brought us to Geneva, Switzerland. From our initial dreams of living abroad, to visa types, to making the leap with two kids under two — this is our honest journey as a U.S. family navigating international relocation. At the end I share some advice if you're interested in moving to Switzerland too. 0:00 Why we wanted to move abroad 1:01 Our travel history and love for Europe 2:15 Starting the Portugal visa process 3:08 A surprise job offer in Geneva 4:43 What is a CDL permit? 6:30 The limits of living on a CDL 7:40 How my husband started a business in Switzerland 8:55 The B permit: risks and rewards 10:20 Giving up my job to apply 11:40 Why the risk was worth it 13:00 Advice for Americans wanting to move to Switzerland 14:30 How this move has been so rewarding #MovingToSwitzerland #ExpatLife #AmericansAbroad #SwitzerlandLife #MovingToEurope #PortugalVsSwitzerland #FamilyAbroad #HowToMoveAbroad #ExpatFamily #SwitzerlandVisa #lifeinswitzerland
