Your Hosts: Susanne Widmer

My name is Susanne Widmer. Born and raised in Lucerne,  Switzerland,  I have lived in several countries and worked with a large number of expats around the world. I know how difficult it can be to settle in and find your way around in a completely new environment. 

I'm passionate about supporting partners and spouses of expats to create their new life in Switzerland quickly and joyfully.

A stay abroad should be a rewarding and enriching experience. I'm here to support you with Switzerland. Let's write this great new chapter of your life together!

Dianne Goodrick

My name is Dianne Goodrick. I’m originally from New Zealand and now live in Lucerne, Switzerland. I’m a passionate language professional with many years of experience teaching English and German to adult learners, particularly at certificate level.

I love helping people build confidence and clarity in their communication—whether for everyday life, work, or study. With a background in technical and business communication, I understand how powerful language can be when it’s used with purpose.

My goal is to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where everyone feels encouraged to express themselves.
