Ever wondered how to fit in like a real Swiss? In this episode, I’ll tell you what to do, and what not to do, if you don’t want to get a side-eye from a Swiss person. From punctuality to politeness, and of course, the art of being a little bit “Bünzli”.

Discover the unspoken rules of everyday life in Switzerland — through my own experiences and stories as someone who grew up here.
