Beth G Bayley Author

Beth G. Bayley, a US-born freelance writer and translator, grows more charmed each year by Switzerland, her home since 2005. She started out in urban, underrated Basel, but now counts goats and cows among her neighbors in the countryside near Zurich. Previous bases for exploration include Frankfurt, Berlin, Potsdam (where she bunked on a former Stasi campus), and New York. Since arriving in Switzerland, she has padded out her world travel to-do list with outings with her Australian husband and three children, exploring the country’s mountains, lakes, historical towns, and chocolate factories. Beth’s work, most recently covering travel and family life, has appeared in publications in Germany, Switzerland and the US. Paula Dupraz-Dobias is an award-winning independent journalist and documentary producer based in Geneva, Switzerland. She has written from Europe, Latin America and elsewhere for publications including swissinfo, Quartz, VICE, Devex, IRIN, Al-Jazeera, and NPR, and produced films for French public television and ESPN. After growing up in New York, she worked at AFP in Lima, and later at CNN and CNNMoney Switzerland. Author, photographer and travel writer Teresa Fisher has had a life-long love affair with Switzerland, since her first visits to the ski slopes as a young child. She lived and worked for a while in Zurich, and has since penned over thirty guidebooks and children’s travel reference books on a wide variety of destinations, and written extensively on Switzerland for numerous publishers including Frommer’s, National Geographic and Thomas Cook. She is currently the Switzerland expert and lecturer for National Geographic Expeditions and runs the website www.familyskinews.com. Rachel Glassberg is a US-born journalist, ex-magazine editor, musician and inveterate traveler based in Berlin since 2011. Previously seen writing about her hometown for Frommer's Germany (2016), she's since acquired in-depth knowledge of Ticinese cuisine, Graubünden ski resorts and Engadine spa etiquette, though she is still working on her Schwyzerdütsch.

Later, she was sorry to learn that the locals don't normally throw wet teabags at the ceiling to see if they'll stick. She's since come to appreciate less raucous activities like river swimming, mountain sledding and sampling Switzerland's seasonal and regional specialties. Today she lives in Bern and works as a multimedia journalist for the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation.
