Reader, guess how many days we spent traveling Switzerland in 2025?... 61 days. TWO full months. Well, that just accounts for overnight trips. If you include day trips, that number jumps above 3 months. Oh, and did we mention we did all of this as brand new parents?! 👶 Traveling with a baby takes extra intentionality and slows down our pace, but all 3 of us truly love exploring! So, what did we learn as tourists in Switzerland?Here's what we didn't expect from our 2025 travels: NEW 3-Day Guide to ZürichWhether you'll be in Zürich for half day or a long weekend, this Guide is for you!

Crans Montana TragedyIt was devastating to hear about the New Years Eve fire in Crans Montana, Switzerland that killed 40 people and injured 100+ more. We're praying for the families and friends of the victims, as well as for the people in Crans Montana. The Head of Tourism delicately shared that they are trying to balance a "respectful atmosphere" while allowing guests to enjoy their holiday. It's a great reminder that no matter where we go in the world, we're surrounded by people who are celebrating as well as people who are suffering. Compassion is a wonderful gift to pack in your suitcase! |
