Como, Italy
My COVID summer trip of 2021 led me to Lake Como, where I enjoyed a scenic train ride from Zurich through the Gotthard Base Tunnel and a breathtaking funicular ride up to Brunate. A delightful ferry ride to Bellagio offered stunning lake views and charming cobblestone streets, making it a memorable start to my Italian adventure.
Lyon, France
For the fourth time on my extensive COVID summer trip to Europe, I reunited with my travel buddy Remi in Lyon. Our quick visit included a picturesque train ride from Geneva, exploring Lyon’s historic Pont de la Guillotière, ancient Roman theatres, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, and the charming streets of Vieux Lyon, all wrapped up with local pizza and street football.
Innsbruck, Austria
Today I embarked on a roundtrip journey from St. Gallen, Switzerland to Innsbruck, Austria, to reconnect with my friend Daniel from our undergraduate years. Despite spending more time traveling than in Austria, the scenic train ride through the Alps and a sunny day in Innsbruck made it a worthwhile adventure.
Valduz, Liechtenstein
During my journey to visit 35 countries by age 35, Vaduz, Liechtenstein stood out as a charming micro-nation. From exploring Vaduz Castle and St. Florin Cathedral to collecting passport stamps, its compact size and stunning vistas made for an unforgettable visit
