I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment.
Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
Snowy winters in Switzerland made travel between villages difficult in the past, so some Christmas traditions have taken on unique regional variations. Appenzell is no exception. It’s a place where people light incense at Christmas, decorate their windows for Advent, and use Christmas trees made out of biscuits. Julie Hunt visited the region to find out more.
