Don was still with SwissPats when he and Suzi travelled in the pouring rain to the outskirts of Zurich to visit Danna and her husband Georg to hear all about Organalicious, Danna's health coach business. 

Danna takes us on a journey from USA and Israel to Switzerland and explains why her family where a huge part of her healthy lifestyle story. 

You can visit Danna online at www.organilicious.ch/

Just because we are all stuck inside, doesnt mean this guest episode is going to waste - Danna explains that you can still use her services during lock down, and why now more than ever its important to look after our health. 

In the final special series on Covid19 where Suzi speaks to people all over the world, we get an insight into the different stages that some countries are currently in - with the understanding that these stages are changing rapidly - what is in place today may be ramped up tomorrow. Also, how is the community coming together to support those vulnerable members of society?

In this episode we meet Maureen in Thailand, Barbora in Netherlands, Nishan in Finland, Ben in Sweden and Gemma in England.

A normal podcast didn't seem appropriate this week, so Suzi reached out to people all over the world to find out how they're doing, what their country has implemented and the all important question - whats the toilet paper situation? 

In Episode 1, Suzi spoke to people living and working in Italy, Australia, Germany and Austria and got an insight into how their host country is dealing with the coronavirus, and what they are planning (or not planning) for the coming weeks. 

There will be more episodes like this, so keep an eye out in the next few days for more first hand, real life experiences of people dealing with this unprecedented situation that has affected the whole world.

ANNOUNCEMENT! No ads, no guests - SwissPats Suzi and Don are bringing you this unscheduled episode to make an announcement - the SwissPats Duo have officially become an Uno. Breaking up is hard to do, and that is true even for expat friends. Suzi and Don started the SwissPats as a passion project and something to do as expat stay at home parents, but become fast friends who relied on each other, supported each other and had genuine love and care for each other and their families. On this episode we discuss the feelings of leaving, plus the unknown realities of moving home during a pandemic. 

SwissPats isn't over, it will continue. But it will sound different for a while. We thank you with the deepest gratitude for your support over the last 3 years, and hope you will continue to listen and support this passion project of ours.

Don and Suzi welcomed Reggie Faria to the podcast to hear about his journey from Holland to Basel, and how his football life from the age of 4 has turned into his personal training business. 

In addition, Suzi and Don discuss the winner of the World Champion Cheese Contest, as well the Swiss entrant to the Eurovision Song contest, which of the 4 official Swiss Languages will this years entry sing in? 

Each month the SwissPats bring you all the coolest and most entertaining events throughout Switzerland. We had something planned for you for March 2020. There were football games, car shows, ski marathons, jazz festivals, a women's expo and of course, the Basel Fasnacht.

Well, those have all been cancelled. On Feb. 28 the Swiss government imposed a ban on public events that gathered more than 1,000 because of the coronavirus outbreak.

So instead of discussing what is happening in March, which is mostly NOTHING, Suzi and Don chat about the nothingness that is occurring in Switzerland. We promise it is more entertaining than that sentence makes it sound. 

Don and Suzi welcomed on two members of Democrats Abroad - Liz Voss and Kristen Jafflin. You don't have to be American to know the U.S. is having a Presidential election this November. Liz and Kristen shed some light on what Democrats Abroad do, the upcoming primaries in Switzerland and how non-Americans can help during this election year.

Don and Suzi also cover Switzerland's increase in hazardously unhygienic restaurants and snack bars and the results of one drunk man's plan to walk through a 20-km train tunnel. 

The SwissPats travelled to Cow Country — Baerau, Switzerland — where CEO Roger Kern gave us a tour of their factory and even allowed us to help make a bell. After a long day in the factory, they sat down to chat about his journey from IT to Bell Maker in his family's foundry. 

The SwissPats also discuss naked dining in Basel and a growing rat population throughout the country.

The SwissPats traveled to the heart of Swiss watch making - Biel/Bienne - to interview Giselle Rufer Delance, who is the woman behind Delance watches, which are the only Swiss watch brand created by a woman. The discussion ranges from her childhood without a father to her trail-blazing education to finally battling the male-dominated culture of Swiss watchmaking in the 1980s and 90s.

Suzi and Don traveled to Zurich to talk chocolate, specifically Swiss chocolate, with the co-founders of Attimo Chocolate, Olivia Madet and Alain Mettler.

But wait, there's more. Attimo made world-wide news late last year by producing a CHF 640.- chocolate bar weighing 80 grams. They are listed in the Guinness World Record Book as having, "the world's most expensive chocolate." 

SwissPats listeners can WIN ONE OF THESE BARS. Download and listen to this episode to find out how. (Note: Winner must be located in Europe.)

Good luck!
