My main goal with this website is to help YOU!
With twelve years of travelling, and almost five years living abroad in Switzerland under my belt, I thought it was time to share what I’ve learnt. I hope to inspire you to explore more of Switzerland, Europe and beyond, and to help you to plan your trips, hikes and adventures with lots of useful tips, tricks and detailed info!
Let’s take a little look at what kind of content you can expect to see here ~
Detailed guides, bucketlists and recommendations for Switzerland
One thing you need to know about me, is that I am kiiiinda obsessed with exploring every inch of Switzerland! Nothing excites me more than discovering a new hike to do or planning a weekend getaway. Infact, I spend a LOT of hours researching Switzerland in order to find the best views, hikes, outdoor adventures and hidden gems. Now, I’m taking all my knowledge and experiences and using it to help YOU with lots of useful posts, guides and inspiration. I’m so excited to share more with you about the beautiful place I call home!

Hiking Guides for Switzerland, Germany, the UK & More
Lace up your boots and let’s hit the trails! I’m an avid hiker, loving the feeling of exploring nature on foot and the reward of an incredible view after some effort! My family are all big walkers and hikers back in the UK, so I grew up rambling through the countryside of England, Scotland and Wales. But it wasn’t until I moved to Switzerland that I completely fell in love with it (one might argue I even became slightly obsessed!). Now, I hike most weekends in Switzerland, and also try to weave a few good hikes in whenever we travel abroad. Here on the blog, you’ll find super detailed and honest hiking guides for every season, so that you know exactly what to expect.

European Travel Destinations
Although Switzerland is where I’ve done the most in-depth exploring, I am lucky to have also travelled many other beautiful countries here in Europe. In fact, one of my favourite things about Swiss living, is the ease of travelling between countries without even needing to catch a flight. (Long waits in the airport?! Noooo thanks!) From city hopping in Italy, to island hopping in Croatia, I document all of my experiences, thoughts and advice on here.

Food, Glorious Food! (And coffee ofc!)
Food is a MASSIVE part of travel for me. Honestly, I think there is no better way to get to know a new place than through your stomach. With our city trips often completely revolving around finding new food to try, we always return home with our waistbands a little tighter! Wanna hear about pasta making in Tuscany? Fondue with a view in Switzerland? Or a local food tour in Lisbon? I’m your girl!

Outdoor adventures & Escapes
Some of my best travel memories have happened outdoors – sleeping under the stars, kayaking to tiny islands, trekking on glaciers or sledging down snowy mountains. This section is where I’ll share those kinds of experiences: the adventures that get you outside and out of your comfort zone; trying something new, and connecting with nature in a way that feels unforgettable.
If you love fresh air, open skies, and a little bit of adventure, these posts are for you.
