This week, I sit down with Elza, a Ukrainian-born woman now living in Switzerland. We dive into her experience of assimilating into Swiss culture, the unique aspects of the Swiss mentality, and some surprising cultural shocks she encountered. We also explore how frequent travel and relocation can affect happiness, and more!

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.
