Description

The challenges of finding love in Switzerland

A recent expat survey found that almost half of those questioned said it was ‘somewhat difficult’ to meet a partner in a foreign land. Switzerland was singled out as being ‘difficult’ to ‘very difficult’. Some succeed though:  government figures show that 35% of marriages in Switzerland are between a Swiss and a foreigner.
To discover how to overcome some of the challenges, join psychologist and writer Lesley Lawson Botez MSc, author of Holding Out for a Hero, Five Steps to Marriage over 40 on.
