English Forum Switzerland - My Leaving Switzerland Blog

I came to Switzerland for work, always with the intention of staying 2 years or so - and that's how long I've been here...now it's time to move on. There seems to be quite a few people on this forum leaving about the same time, so there's a fair few threads about different aspects of leaving:
