How to travel to a new country, from the comfort of home. I’ll explain… While we’re stuck inside wishing we were traveling (or just doing anything really) I started thinking of ways we could teleport to a different place and recreate past travel experiences from our place. This post is purely just for fun, consider …
We’ll cut to the chase… we have a new city (and country) we will be calling home very soon. We’re moving to Vienna, Austria! In fact, Andrew is already there! It was relatively slow to start but escalated quickly and now here we are organizing with movers and looking for a new apartment. No we …
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 …
We’ve lived in Switzerland for more than 2 years now and we realized there’s so many spots in our backyard that we haven’t explored yet!

Well we’ve officially seen “the most beautiful spot in Switzerland”. I guess we can go home now! Jk. But we did find a great spot in the eastern side of the country that we had yet to visit. Lai da Palpuogna was voted as the most beautiful spot in Switzerland in 2007 which we feel …
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 …
Now that we’ve gotten comfy and surpassed the 1-year mark of moving abroad, we’ve had the chance to reflect. Upon reflection, we realized some things that could be helpful to someone thinking of moving or already living abroad. Obviously, these insights are all just our opinion so if you have a different perspective we’d love …
