Truth About Living in Switzerland: Bünzli Mentality, Rules, and Price of Perfection

This week I chat with Mike, a Swiss-Italian stand-up comedian, about life in Switzerland: the good, the bad, and the perfectly organized.
We dive into the Swiss mentality, what it’s like trying to make friends and date in such a reserved culture, the country’s love of rules (and when it goes too far), and whether Switzerland is a place he truly loves… or one that sometimes feels a bit too confining. We also get into how Swiss-Italian culture differs from the rest of the country.

Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.
