The “Fifth Switzerland” is a colourful, varied and multilingual puzzle with well over 800,000 pieces. Today’s puzzle piece is …
… Nat Cartier, 25, London, United Kingdom, International Artist. In the UK since 2019.
My dream is to become an international David Attenborough of music, travelling and exploring the world with loved ones. I want to create and share content celebrating all cultures and languages across the globe – through music, creation and good vibes!

What does ‘homeland’ mean to you?
The place where I am always safe, welcome and respected no matter what, and where my ideas and inclusion into local culture are encouraged.
What references to Switzerland do you have in your house?
My personal favourite is an “I love Zug” mug, but also a “Stadt Zug” baseball cap which my dad likes wearing, and a collection of Swiss “Nat Cartier” postcards I send to family, friends and fans!
Which song makes you think of home?
Es Sommer Lied by Nat Cartier
What relationship do you have with Switzerland?
Switzerland from abroad feels like a safe place that will have me back when the time is right. Even now, I want to go back as much as possible, especially when it aligns with my career!
What was your impression of Switzerland the last time you visited?
Beautiful and emotional. My parents moved out of Zug to retire in the Southwest of France. I had a big cry with my mum as Zug will always have our hearts - it’s also where I deeply feel my mother’s love.

Do you maintain personal contacts with other Swiss Abroad?
Yes, it is the wonderful and fun international Swiss people I met in the UK that keep my Swiss emotions active, heard, and cared for.
Is regularly meeting other Swiss people important to you?
Incredibly important, yes!
Which Swiss customs does your family still observe?
Recycling – I often get internal moments of “oh, you really don’t recycle?” abroad. Not many nations recycle like the Swiss – this responsibility is arguably second nature in Switzerland!
