About Us

Alone you go fast - together we go far!

Charlie Hartmann

Managing Director
To me books are portals into other worlds, countries and cultures. Each new book is taking me on a new and exciting adventure, whether it is fiction or a reflection of our world and times.

Rachael Hammond

Editor-in-Chief
I love how books are the doorway to my imagination.  To read a book and be totally immersed in the writer's world is the magic of the written word. I especially love fantasy novels, as they whisk me away into an alternative reality, and I  get to live in a world of wonder and enchantment.

Cristina Quesado

Director of Finances
Since I am a lifelong learner, books are a must for me.  I love educational books because they can teach a lot about the subject you are interested in, and biographies because they can show you how to achieve your life goals.

Lina Petraviciute

Director of Marketing
From my childhood, books were my getaway, window to dream bigger, and guidance in the world I am in. It doesn't matter what kind of book I am taking, fictional or non - I always find something to learn.

Our story

The LivingIn Publishing House has been created to help the International Community “thrive” in their new home. Moving to a new country is so much more than packing up your belongings and learning a new language. It is about discovering and becoming a part of a new culture. 

Our goal is to help every immigrant feel at home in Switzerland with the help of our publications. 

“We provide all the information you need to settle in successfully and make the most of your time here, be it for a couple of years or decades.” 

The LivingIn Association, has built strong relationships with key organisations in Lucerne, including the City of Lucerne, Business Lucerne and the Hochschule amongst others. We are recognised as a valuable resource and are the first port of call for newcomers to the region. 

Our Books 

Shed light onto the uniqueness of moving to and living not only in Switzerland but your specific canton.  The book contains over 50 articles ranging from exploring the nitty gritty daily life details to the more fun and mundane topics of where to shop or understand the local culture. 

Our Magazines  

The magazines are a smaller version of our books, but with the advantage of being able to provide timely articles on current events and activities happening in the area. Additionally, we inform our readers of the Integration programmes/groups/classes from Job Intergration for Foreigners (JIFF), English classes for kids, German conversation groups, Mental Health initiatives, and support, to name just a few.
