"Comparison is the thief of joy." I'm stuck in the comparison game. Have you ever played? It's almost addicting, you can't stop playing, you want to stop, yet it's nearly impossible. Comparing is one of my downfalls. I compare far too often and I compare myself, my successes, my failures, my ...
Zurich, Switzerland | Day 38
Hello to another early morning! 5:30AM did not greet me pleasantly this morning. We had to catch the 6:30 boat back to the mainland because we were coordinating all of our travels. It was quite difficult, actually. We (not me, my parents…) had to coordinate the timings of the ferry, the bus, AND the ...
Basel, Switzerland | Day 21
Today was sadly our last day in Switzerland. We woke up to catch the 9:30 train out to Basel from Montreux, where we were staying. We decided to stop in Basel for one reason and one reason only. For an art museum. My dad really likes impressionist artists (and so do I) so we love to see all ...
Montreux, Switzerland | Day 20

Geneva, Switzerland | Day 19

Gimmelwald, Switzerland | Day 18
Hello sunny Switzerland! Today we left our hotel in Gimmelwald to head to Schilthorn, a 20 minute gondola ride away. We left at about 7:30AM because supposedly the clouds move in early and it's not as crowded when you go as early. Oh my goodness was and is true. We got to the lookout point ...
Lucerne, Switzerland | Day 17
Last night we arrived in Lucerne, Switzerland, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. It has been such a nice break from Paris because it is a calmer city. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Paris, but I think that Switzerland as a whole is more relaxing and not as busy. We woke ...
