About this episode
Part one of a three-part series about the connection between nostalgia and homesickness. For this we travel back in time to join two backpackers exploring Europe in the 1980s, and we find out how they’re connected to Swiss mercenaries hitting the road in the 17th century.
SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern, Switzerland.
