    Ich komme aus der Tschechischen Republik. Im Juli reise ich zum erstenmal in die Schweiz mit einem Reisebüro. Ich suchte mir Ticino aus, ich werde Locarno, Lugano und Lago Maggiore und Lago Lugano besuchen. Auf Ticino hat mich Corinne Hoffmann aufmerksam gemacht, ich habe ihre Weiße Massai gelesen und weiß aus ihren Büchern, dass sie in Lugano wohnt. Endlich nach sieben Jahren erfüllt sich mein Traum und ich fahre in dieses Gebiet. Laut Ihrem Video komme ich mit meinem Deutsch und English nicht viel weiter hier😅 Na ja, ich weiß nun, dass ich noch Italienisch werde lernen müssen😅 Ich bin 44, hoffentlich gelingt es mir noch. Danke für Ihre lehrreiche Videos über Ticino und Schweiz😊❤❤❤

    Buon Giorno zämme! A few friendly comments: Palm Trees? No fog? Have you ever been to Basel? We have palm trees, fig trees, persimmon trees, amaryllis and lots of sunshine! I hardly ever see fog. Super cold in Switzerland? I moved from Vermont, a US state near Montréal. Winter and snow arrived in October and stayed to May. Winter temperatures typically fell to -30º every year. The coldest temperature was -50º!! During a normal winter there are always the two weeks where temps do not rise above -20º for a week or two. Drive drive drive? Are you guys even Swiss? I travel be train everywhere in Switzerland and in Europe: Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Milan, Florence, Rome, Palermo-even Zürich. Merci! Grazie!

      Great that everyone has his/her own experience. In our videos we talk about our personal experience. Living in a city for us - no thank you. Done that, never again.

      @@ode2reading You are right! Basel does not have the natural beauty of Ticino. I love Ticino. I spent my Honeymoon there. I visit often. Basel has perhaps the most pleasant weather in Switzerland. When other regions complain of fog week after week or high humidity, it is often quite temperate here. No one disputes that Basel is the cultural heart of Switzerland. Transportation is fantastic. We probably agree that Switzerland is simply a wonderful place to live.

    Can I ask you about:
    Are traffic jams on the motorway in region Sorengo - Paradiso - Muzzano during the summer season?
    Is medical care in clinics and hospitals at a similar level as in the rest of the cantons?
    is it safe (a small number of robberies or home break-ins) ?

    • @HolamundoCH
      @HolamundoCH  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh yes, this area is very populated and traffic jams there are super common (esp. in the morning and early evening.
      Medical care and hospitals are of equal quality in all Switzerland. There is no difference. Additionally there are some private hospitals/clinics in Ticino. For safety - no issues. I mean, in the city, some robbery can happen like everywhere in the world. But for the rest: you can easily leave your house open during the day in the countryside. And it is always safe to walk around day or night.

      Sure, well Bolzano is in Italy, not Ticino. It depends in which sector you work. If you work in tourism/event business, Locarno has good options. Finance/law/IT Lugano has much better options. It is also more international oriented. If you are into trade, you might consider Chiasso as well (boarder town to Italy).

    Is Ticino too far from Zurich, Zug or other cantons that have higher salaries and employability in general? Does it take a long time on the highways to get to work in these cantons? If so, is it better to live in the north or won't it change much? I live in Brazil and here, if you work in a nearby city, it takes about an hour and a half to get to your place of work, I know Switzerland is small, but I wonder if the mountains get in the way.

    • @HolamundoCH
      @HolamundoCH  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, the mountains are in the way. There is a super long tunnel (16,9 km). It would take 1,5 hour to go to Lucerne. But with traffic jam it can take up to 6 hours. If you take the train, it is quicker and very reliable though.

    "More Swiss than Swiss Germans" is so incredibly true. I lived in Ticino about 6 months and I was expecting it to be more liberal and relaxed than areas more close to Germany. It really surprised me to see the mentality of the Ticinese. There are many great people, however, and in the city of Lugano where I lived there are younger people with open-minded mentalities, but it's in the minority.

    • @HolamundoCH
      @HolamundoCH  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Concerning language: if Ticinese speak proper italian, someone who's native language is not italian will only hear a slight difference. But there are many dialects in the valleys so there are many "variations" of swiss italian. And this is very different.
      Best city - depends what you want of a city. For us, it is Lugano followed by Locarno. Then there is only Bellinzona and Biasca. Other places are much. smaller.

    I never made the experience that Ticinesi don't like Swiss Germans or Germans. We had for years our weekend home in Valle Maggia in cute "Nucleo". Only positiv experiences. The Ostschweizer Cantons like St Gallen Thurgau and Appenzell feel much "colder" and people there are no fun, yet always correct.

    • @HolamundoCH

      Well, of course italian is a super beautiful language. But when you live at a place when you do not speak, it is really challenging. Although people might understand german or english, the officials do not. So it is a clear con, as you struggle and might get treated badly. The video shows our personal opinion and perspective. And we are german speaking. However, as our whole channel is in english and our audience is mainly english speaking, the video is in english. Anyway, also english speaker will have to learn italian when visiting or living in Ticino ;-).
