After my first long-distance relationship failed, I vowed never to do it again. Then I met another foreign guy online.

• Dena Roché's first long-distance relationship between Arizona and Switzerland lasted for three years.
• The relationship ended when it became clear he would never move, and she vowed never to do it again.
• She took a chance on a second Swiss boyfriend, and they've now been married for three years.

In the middle of the pandemic, my phone pinged with an email from InterNations, an expat group I had joined after spending time in Switzerland.
