Switzerland


Dear readers--I'mmm backkkkkk! I arrived here in Zurich, Switzerland a couple of weeks ago, and took that time to adjust to the time zone, get myself (and little Suz) into some semblance of a rhythm, and figure out all the intricacies of working remotely from here with my NYC office. I'll be here for about another month or so, and I'm so excited to share all my adventures with you. I've been traveling around Switzerland, doing crazy things like jumping out of a plane (which explains the matching flight suits in the pic above), eating my body's weight in chocolate and cheese, and trying to navigate the murky waters of Swiss-German. So far, I've got "Hallo!" down pat. Eep.

Here are some of my favorite Instas of my time here so far. xo

Interlaken--one of the most beautiful places in the world, I'm convinced

These little blue flowers grow wild all over the mountains

Misty mountain path

A summer salad from this cool outdoor beer garden called Frau Gerolds that my new friend Scarlett took me to. Check out her brilliant food blog HERE.

Lake Zurich

Suz does Switzerland

Delicious garden restaurant on the corner of our street--it's called Gartenhof and they grill outside on warm nights. Magical.

Gorgeous Swiss town called Lucerne

Interlaken is pretty much the definition of "embarrassment of riches." You can't walk two feet without tripping over a ridiculously majestic waterfall like this one.

I'm not a sausage person (nor much of a meat person in general), but getting a bratwurst with hot mustard from Sternen Grill is a must. So worth it.

This was pretty much one of the best days ever. Icy cold lake water + blazing hot sun.

Maison Blunt is a really good Moroccan tea house in Zurich--had a fantastic solo brunch there

Swans scare the s*!% out of me, but they are EVERYWHERE in Switzerland so I'm learning to embrace them

Zurich's got some of the best florist game around

The moonlight in Interlaken was golden and crazy and glorious
