Chantal Panozzo

Biography

Originally from Chicago and now back there again on a two-year "American Experiment" to determine if she really can live in a country other than Switzerland, Chantal Panozzo spent almost a decade of her life in the land of cheese, chocolate, and people who can pronounce her name. She has written about Switzerland for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CNN Travel, Fodor's, The Christian Science Monitor, and many others. In 2014, her collection of personal essays, Swiss Life: 30 Things I Wish I’d Known was published—eventually landing her on the front page of the highly esteemed Swiss tabloid, Blick am Abend, as the American who saved Switzerland’s honor. She is currently trying to do the same thing for the United States as she writes the sequel, American Life: 30 Things I Wish I'd Known. In the meantime, she would like to remind everyone that really, it’s okay to live in canton Aargau. www.chantalpanozzo.com
