Stories
Snippets of my adventures as I explore the world around me. Here are a collection of my hiking stories, my travels and my mind's meanderings.

There’s something about snow that reduces my world to the size of a snow globe. As the clouds hug my little haven, I become deaf to the world outside. All that matters is my room with a window view of the falling snow.
Welcoming Winter in Switzerland
December is all about welcoming winter in Switzerland. Slow mornings, fairy lights and Christmas markets are a hallmark of winter in Switzerland.
