we are from Ukraine and living in Ticino for almost a year, since the war started, I was very surprised to know that ticinese people are more conservative, then german speaking swiss... It would be very nice to hear from you pros and cons, similar video, about German speaking part of the Switzerland, as we are considering to move there for a work. Thank you for videos you putting out, we find it helpful and nicely made.

Helo Anton, we are from slovakia and moving to Lugano because, we use to live in German part of Switzerland but it wasn't for us ,what do you suggest??? Are Italian swiss more cold, then the German ones? Ruben

@ivanamerhautova9985 Год назад

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!

@HolamundoCH 2 месяца назад

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. We love the countryside and nature. There travelling by train is a pain. So logically, we have a different experience - but are still swiss ;-)

@ode2reading Месяц назад

Judging from photos, Basel is not even close to being as beautiful and natural as Ticino.

@jeremiahreilly9739 Месяц назад

@@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.

@piotrk141 Год назад

Thank you for your video! 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 Год назад

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.

@ricardom.2619 Год назад

Thanks for your video! Its was excellent! Do you have an opinion about job possibility in ticino area? Bolzano, Locarno or Lugano? Grazie Mille.

@HolamundoCH Год назад

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).

@uncrit1 26 дней назад

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.

@user-qb9zy8zb1g 4 месяца назад

Thanks for this great introduction to life in Ticino. After having been on a road trip in Italy and having sworn (a lot) about Italian drivers and their reckless driving I would like to ask if people in Ticino drive like Italians or they are more civilized behind the steering wheel? Coming from Sweden it was quite a challenge to drive in Italy ….

@HolamundoCH 4 месяца назад

They tend to be lime italians. But as fines are superexpensive, people are more "tame" when driving.

How much cheaper is the dentist in Italy? I'm interested in getting some dental work done. 🤔 I've been across the border to Germany for some dental work but I didn't find it to be much cheaper.

@HolamundoCH Год назад

It very much depends on the dentist. I would say, it is 1/3 cheaper with better quality. Yes, Germany is not cheaper...at least for dentists.

Danke für dieses informative Video. Wir möchten ins Tessin auswandern. Ich spreche italiano, somit kein Problem. Aber wie war das gemeint mit den Schlangen?😮 kann man die im Garten haben? Bin jetzt ein bisschen erschrocken😅

@HolamundoCH 10 месяцев назад

Ja, das kann vorkommen. Sie liegen nicht haufenweise herum, aber es hat deutlich mehr als in der Deutschschweiz oder in Deutschland. Es hat auch ein paar giftige darunter. Aber, es ist immer noch selten, sie zu sehen. Alle sind sehr scheu und meistens schon weg, bevor man sie sieht. Die haben mehr Angst vor uns!

@rowandowland1391 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for all your comments. We currently living in Italy not far from Ticino and been thinking over moving to Ticino. We're interested in your comment about fresh food being more plentiful in Italy. We eat organically and things here aren't as good as they are in France which we frequent. Is there somewhere you can recommend for fresh vegetable and fruit shopping in both Ticino and Italy?

@HolamundoCH 10 месяцев назад

We also eat organic veg - we normally try to get it from markets, but natura si in Porlezza is pretty nice. In Switzerland it is hard: grow your own, find a farmer close by or just go to Lidl....

@rowandowland1391 10 месяцев назад

Many thanks. Yes we know NaturaSi Porlezza. We haven't tried Lidl so will visit them soon. We tried Biosfera in Locarno last week which was just ok and ended up at the Coop Supermarket. We're spoiled for choice in France with Biocoop and BioFrais. Best wishes Maria e Rowan @@HolamundoCH

@clmoderno5008 9 месяцев назад

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 9 месяцев назад

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.

@clmoderno5008 9 месяцев назад

@@HolamundoCH oh, so I'd probably take the train if I wanted to do that hahaha, ty for the information!

@Trvlr06 6 месяцев назад

Is Swiss Italian very different than Italian in northern Italy? What's the best city in Ticino? Grazie! :)

@HolamundoCH 6 месяцев назад

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.

So about the snakes.. like is it a lot of them.. like do I need to keep the windows closed 🤔 or is it only if I'm like hiking in the wooded area

@HolamundoCH 10 месяцев назад

No, nothing to worry about. There are snakes, but you rarely see them. They are shy and more worried about you then you are of them. Keep your windows open as much as you want :-). And they are not deadly.

@Akori-Von-Ra 10 месяцев назад

@HolamundoCH oh okay cause you know I love them but as long as they keep their distance lol... I just wanna be somewhere left alone in peace.

"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.
