Trip to Europe: Switzerland

This country is my favorite by far. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. In England and France it wasn’t as safe, but here I feel very comfortable. The views are amazing and the people are so kind. Most people struggle to speak English, but they try very hard to help us. I seriously never want to leave!

Food

I have very few pictures of food simply because I’m Switzerland it’s very rude to have your phone out at the dinner table. That’s one of the reasons I admire their culture; they believe in conversation and community. I love that! Another reason I don’t have many pictures is because for lunch we went to grocery stores and bought food, then we had a picnic. I really enjoyed doing that with my mom and my friends. (Side note: if you have the option to bring one of your parents with you, it’s totally worth it. I’ve loved being able to experience this trip not only with one of my best friends, but also with my amazing mother.)

Best caramel macchiato ever!
Experiences

I really enjoyed Switzerland because of all of the free time we got. We weren’t very rushed to do anything, and we got to do whatever we wanted. We went shopping and out for coffee. We saw some spectacular views from the cable cars we rode in. We also went up to Matterhorn and it was gorgeous.

The whole group toured a castle right on Lake Geneva. The lake is so pretty; it’s bright blue and there’s lots of tropical plants along the edge. There were swans swimming in it too! We walked two to three miles around the lake just for ice cream, but it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

Our concert was so fun because the place was packed. There were ladies in the front row crying because they loved it so much. They dancing and clapped to our songs. It was so fun!

I loved every part of staying in the beautiful country. The people are very kind and generous. They made our stay one to remember forever. I’m definitely coming back to Switzerland some day!

May or may not have picked some flowers 🌸
