John Waygood, born in London in 1943, a forerunner of the baby boomers, is an Oxford graduate in languages and a qualified accountant, who spent his working life in industry in five European countries, including the UK, which he left fifty years ago. He and his family learned to cope with the subtle cultural differences with which one is confronted when living on the European continent. He describes, in a light-hearted way, what it is like trying to integrate abroad in Europe. He finally settled in Switzerland, where he retired and eventually adopted Swiss citizenship, in addition to his UK nationality.
