Why Swiss expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Swiss members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

What Swiss expats have to say about living in New York

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in New York from Swiss expats, grouped into positive and negative opinions.

Let’s start with the positive ones.
