Skiing in La Clusaz
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.
Exploring Geneva & its surroundings
As I've told you in previous posts, we've been recently exploring Geneva and its surroundings quite a lot. We've enjoyed summer in the city, although the sunny weather is now coming to an end. Let me show you my favorite spots so far!
First time with my in-laws
Discoveries beyond Geneva: Bern, Gruyères & Évian-les-Bains
I'm slowly adapting to my new life here in Geneva. Besides, it's been great to have some of my best friends coming to pay a visit in order to start exploring a bit outside of Geneva. Every August, Geneva hosts an annual summer event known as Fêtes de Genève, including a grand fireworks display.
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.
