How to respect local customs and etiquette on your Swiss vacation

Are you dreaming of visiting Switzerland but feeling unsure about the cultural norms and etiquette? 

As a visitor in a foreign country, it's natural to worry about unintentionally offending locals or committing social faux pas. 

In this episode, I chat with Kathrin Spinnler, who was born and raised in Switzerland, to get her expert advice on navigating Swiss culture with ease.

Kathrin shares valuable tips on a wide range of topics, from using public transportation in Switzerland and dining out, to greeting locals and respecting the environment while hiking. She also discusses the importance of punctuality, making eye contact, and learning a few basic phrases in French or German to show respect and effort.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of Swiss customs and feel more confident about your upcoming trip. Tune in and get ready to plan your dream vacation to Switzerland!

Happy travels,

Carolyn
