Strolling around Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains & Morges
My Dad and my brother have been visiting us in Switzerland for a few days and we've taken advantage of that to discover some Swiss gems. Follow us to the beautiful cities of Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains and Morges!
Cologny
Cologny is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, just in front of my office across Lake Leman. It houses the World Economic Forum and plenty of houses belonging to millionaires. You can reach Cologny by foot (although it is uphill and very steep) or by bus.
Oxford, Blenheim Palace & Woodstock
I was in Oxford again this weekend and we explored a bit outside of Oxford this time around: Blenheim Palace and Woodstock.
Toledo
Toledo is an ancient city set on a hill above the plains of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. It’s known for the medieval Arab, Jewish and Christian monuments within its historic city walls. It was also the former home of Mannerist painter El Greco. The Moorish Bisagra Gate and the Sol Gate, in Mudéjar style, open into the old quarter, where the Plaza de Zocodover is a lively meeting place.
Second round in Oxford
I was in Oxford again this weekend to visit my boyfriend. Some of his friends came from London too and we had a blast with their kids!
A weekend in Brussels & Leuven
Oxford: where magic happens
Right after attending the IFC Conference in Amsterdam for work, I flew to London and then traveled to Oxford to meet my boyfriend there. We spent a lovely weekend!
A busy weekend with friends: UN Open Day, Chillon castle, Lausanne & Geneva
A couple of Spanish friends came to Geneva to pay me a visit and we spent a very busy weekend full of activities around the city. In addition to strolling around Geneva, I invited them to the United Nations headquarters, where an Open Day took place. We also visited the famous Chillon castle on lake Léman and the Olympic city of Lausanne.
First time with my in-laws
Zurich
Last Friday afternoon we took the train from Geneva to Zurich. It took us almost 3 hours to get there but the ride, which went by the lake for a while, was very pleasant. The arrival to Zurich's Hauptbahnhof and the sight of the Landesmuseum (the Swiss National Museum) next to it were impressive too.
First impressions of Geneva
It's only been two weeks since I moved from Washington DC to Geneva and I am enjoying summer here. Life is been quite hectic as I started a new job, I'm adapting to the city and I'm looking for an apartment. Let me tell you about my first impressions of this Swiss city!
A weekend in Prague
It's just been a week since I moved to Geneva (Switzerland) but I managed to squeeze in a weekend in Prague with my boyfriend. Follow me to discover the Czech capital!
