Hello, I am Lukas
Project manager. Parent. Expat living in Zürich, Switzerland.
A few years back, I moved here with my family. What began as a temporary assignment gradually opened a new chapter of life overseas.
How It Started
Moving to Switzerland wasn't in our long-range plans. Like many international relocations, it began as a work opportunity and quickly grew into something much bigger.
The initial months were demanding — new systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks felt more complicated than they should.
The Adjustment Period
There was culture shock, uncertainty, and a lot of learning by doing. But slowly, routines formed. We discovered places that worked for us, met other families, and started building something that felt stable.
Why I Built Silver Thread Art
Most information online was either corporate-level relocation advice or surface-level tourism material. What was missing was honest, day-to-day family perspective.
This site exists to close that gap — practical guidance based on real life in Switzerland.
What This Site Represents (And What It Isn't)
What this site stands for:
- Hands-on experience from living in Switzerland
- Centered on family life and day-to-day realities
- Updated whenever something truly changes
This site DOES NOT INCLUDE:
- A resource from a tourism authority
- Paid review platform
- A generic travel diary
Looking Forward
Our stay in Switzerland continues, and the learning journey goes on. As long as the information remains useful, I’ll continue recording what we uncover.
If you have questions about family life in Zürich or anywhere in Switzerland, please feel free to get in touch.
Best regards,
Lukas
Zürich, Switzerland
