This may highlight our nerdiness (and Andrew’s love for spreadsheets) but we keep a spreadsheet of all the fun events, spots we find interesting, and cool things to do within Switzerland handy in case we find ourselves with a free weekend! With access to a pretty awesome rail network the possibilities are plenty. Basel is …
Recently one of Andrew’s former coworkers Arnaud, now good friend, invited a couple of us to join him and his family for a weekend we’ll never forget. His family lives in Bergerac, France (just outside Bordeaux) the land of wine, foie gras, and castles. Annually, they get together for a proper golf tournament between them …
Well, we finally dusted off the hiking boots that we’ve neglected lately. Definitely making up for lost time because over the course of 3 Saturdays we managed to hike in Switzerland, France, and Austria. All were amazing! We kicked off the unintentional extravaganza in our backyard, the Swiss Bernese Oberland area. After a short cable …
Road trip! We set off on a pretty massive one with Chad and Claire after spending a day with them in Lausanne. We’ve always heard great things about several spots in Switzerland that we have yet to visit. And as they weren’t able to see much of the beauty that Switzerland offers we decided to …
We became a little more familiar with a couple cities the past few weeks. Andrew's parents came to visit and just a week after they returned, our good friends Chad and Claire arrived! Some home feels away from home was just what we needed. In both cases, they travelled to various places around Europe and …
It’s all downhill from here! Best to joke and laugh our way down the ski slopes, especially since neither of us had skied much before this year. The season is officially over and we’re happy to announce that we made it through unscathed! We managed to make our way to several popular slopes in Switzerland …
2018 here we come! Let’s make it a great one, shall we? We spent New Year’s Eve in Paris, a RIOT. After touching down at 6 pm on New Year’s Eve, we stopped by Little Red Door for a cocktail. We weren’t let down, welcomed by none other than a little red door. The menu …
So, we might be Christmas market gurus now. We’ve mentioned previously how Christmas markets are somewhat unique to Europe as we’d never seen one while in the States. Well, we’ve made up for it the last couple weeks! We headed to Strasbourg, France or the “Capitale de Noel” as it can be called. The Christmas …
Wow. Paris is magical. We took each day as it came with zero planning and it turned out to be the best way to go. The weather was unpredictable and we definitely got caught in the rain a few times; but nothing we couldn’t laugh off. While walking the side streets our first evening, we …
