So, I’m delayed in Zurich Airport and I’ve got plenty of time to kill. I’m hanging out in the lounge and all around me are stranded passengers, sleeping in uncomfortable positions on the chairs and leather couches. I’m thinking about joining them but knowing me, I’ll fall into such a deep sleep I’ll miss my […] Read more…
It seems hard to believe but Switzerland just keeps getting better and better. Just when you think the landscape couldn’t possibly get more beautiful … it does. Right before your very eyes, it continues to transform from one stunning vignette into another. Yesterday, I had the thrill of visiting Chexbres. It’s a municipality in the […] Read more…
We took a solar boat for a ride this afternoon, along Lake Geneva. Seriously, this place couldn’t get any more beautiful. Across the way are the French Alps. Here, France is just over 14 kilometres away from the Swiss side. And the mountains in Evian loom in the near distance. Unlike yesterday’s kind and moderate […] Read more…
You know how you can spend a lot of money on an expensive toy for a child only to discover that they’re just as content (more content, even) banging on the pots and pans in the kitchen than they are playing with their overpriced toy?

Despite the cloudy skies and chilly air, the city looms grand and impressive at every turn. Our tour guide begins by taking us to Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most […] Read more…
I landed in Zurich at around 6am yesterday morning and was exhausted. I didn’t sleep on the seven-hour, 10-minute flight (part excitement, part couldn’t-get-comfortable) but once the plane’s wheels touched terre firma I was pumped up, ready for my adventure. From the airport, I took a train to Zurich Main Station and then a tram […] Read more…
I’m back on the road, this time to Switzerland – Zurich, actually – and I can’t wait. I’m not just excited about my arrival in Switzerland. The journey there is half the fun! I can’t wait to board the Swiss plane and check it all out. I love flying. I got myself packed and ready […] Read more…
