Did you know that Switzerland has around 65'000 kilometres of hiking trails? That's about 1.5 times the circumference of the earth! A huge number of municipalities and volunteer organisations maintain the hiking trails and offer hikes in all the cantons.
Karena Stoner - Balehoo: An Expat's Guide to Surviving - and Thriving - in Basel - October 2020
Karena Stoner, author of "Bâlehoo: A Expat's Guide to Surviving - and Thriving - in Basel", joined us live in the studio. Inspired to write by her second tour as an expat in Basel, Karena was first here in the early 2000's and is now back since 2018. Finding the experience of integrating just as hard the second-time, Karena put her professional writing skills to creating a guide for expats. The book is available at Bider & Tanner, Amazon and more. Basel Life Magazine's upcoming review of the book says: "Beautiful and well-written, reading Bâlehoo feels like getting personal advice from a friend. So, whether you’re a long-time expat, just arrived, or considering becoming one, Bâlehoo is a must-have for every expat’s survival kit." One of Karena's "pro-tips" is the app "TooGoodToGo" available in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The app is a goldmine for those looking to get amazing discounts on Basel restaurant food while helping to fight food waste.
