The first time I ever went abroad, it was to the small but VERY mighty Switzerland in 2002! I went with the Girl Guides and had an amazing time in Adelboden. Since then, I’ve been back to travel the country by train, which is an incredible way to see the Swiss Alps. I’ve also been to Basel, which is a fun way to visit three countries in a day!

Switzerland is undeniably expensive – and there’s no getting around that wherever you’re from, because it’s probably the most expensive country in the world. I wrote a similar post about saving money on a trip to Norway, and this will include some of the same ideas, but honestly I found it harder in Switzerland than …
On our recent trip to Switzerland, we had a Swiss Travel Pass which allowed us to travel on any train (and many other modes of transport) in the country – including the panoramic trains such as the Glacier Express and Bernina Express! These trains are pricey, so we decided to make the most of our …
In Zermatt, the weather gods finally shone upon us. After three excellent days in the Bernese Alps where we had experienced intermittent weather, we arrived in Zermatt to pure, unparalleled sunshine. We couldn’t have chosen a better day for Matterhorn-hunting. Zermatt itself is a big winter destination, being one of Switzerland’s most popular ski resorts. …
If there’s one area of Switzerland I could see myself visiting time and time again, it’s got to be the Bernese Oberland, an impressive stretch of mountain ranges encompassing the vast area between Bern and Lucerne. More specifically, I would return to Jungfrau in a heartbeat, the region south of Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. …
Hotels? Booked. Swiss Travel Pass? Purchased. Panoramic train reservations? Sorted months in advance. Llama trek and yurt stay? Check. Wait… what? We have just returned from what we have both declared to be one of our best holidays yet. It was one we’d been putting off, not deliberately, but because Switzerland is somewhere you can’t …
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been diligently working towards the aim of visiting every country in Europe. That means two things: I’ve been visiting a lot of places I never thought I would, finding some surprising gems along the way. And secondly, I’ve been abandoning other places that have been higher on my …
Did you know that there’s a major city on the border of THREE countries? Enter: Basel. While the city is officially in Switzerland, my favourite fact about Basel is that you can walk to both France and Germany! As you’ll know from my last post, the main reason we booked flights to Basel was actually …
It’s been a while since I did a #throwbackthursday post. So I suppose this is a throwback to my throwback posts, as well as being my ultimate throwback post because this one’s about the first time I ever went abroad. I was actually a late bloomer to travel. Being from the literal middle of nowhere …
