#1 Finding a Flat without Losing your Soul

#1 Finding a Flat without Losing your Soul

Apartment-hunting in Switzerland can feel like a full-time job—with overtime. In today’s episode, Tiffany and Nisha break down the surprisingly emotional, often bewildering journey of finding a flat (or apartment for our American listeners) in one of Europe’s most competitive rental markets.

Tiffany shares her chaotic early years: moving to Switzerland without a job, a car, or a social circle… and somehow ending up with three apartments at once (yes, by accident). From launching a PR-style campaign to secure her dream place to paying five months’ rent for an apartment she never lived in, her lessons are equal parts painful and priceless.

Nisha brings the other side of the story: relocating as a non-working spouse, navigating housing with a relocation service, dealing with impossibly tiny Swiss kitchens, and eventually becoming a proud homeowner. She breaks down what really matters when choosing a place—especially with kids, pets, or a desire for that elusive Swiss garden.

Whether you're relocating to Zurich, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne, or anywhere in between, this episode is your essential guide to renting in Switzerland—without the tears.
