They say write about what you know.

I was born in a seaside city called Iligan in the Philippines. Having lived at sea level for 20 years, I now reside at the bottom of the Swiss Alps, in Zürich at an elevation of 450m. I’ve lived here for over 10 years with a side detour to Hongkong for 25 years.

Raising my boys here, Switzerland is all I know. While the fluency of the German language continues to elude me – reading and comprehension in High German is good, but speaking and understanding the Zürich dialect is a challenge. I know enough to know when they are talking about me though! Very important.

Like all things in life – nothing is perfect, although Switzerland comes pretty close! But I’m a glass half-full gal who finds that complaining is a bore. None of that here.

This blog is a passion project. I will write about what I love – flowers, ballet, writers and their books. Plus more that catches my eye and interest. This blog is a love letter to ALL THINGS SWISS!
