INTERNET IN SWITZERLAND
Your europe internet roaming plan most probably doen't work in Switzerland, cuz we are not officially in EU. Easiest and cheapest option if you have eSIM, get the App "Airalo" and buy Data there from 4.5$". Enjoy discount with my reflink: https://ref.airalo.com/wvpN
Also https://maya.net/ is apparently good.
https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/mobile/prepaid.html/ has a pepaid, 20 CHF for 7 days unlimited internet, can be eSIM too, but need to register with ID
https://www.lebara.ch/en/lebara_prepaid is a free prepaid sim with cheap daily data plans

教，学，和分享

I can teach you to experience a thing before you talk about it! You'll never know how it is unless you try. Don't even think *I can never do this*. You can! I will prove it to you!
I can teach you how to exit your comfort zone! I believe that's where life is starting, out of everyday routine!

A gift from my Country, a wide range of personal development advice, how to invest and earn passive money and do some great photos :)
