There’s little as discouraging as it is to be on a beautiful island, 35 degrees, a bright sky… and realizing that the beach is completely packed. Unfortunately, that’s often the case in Europe’s main beach destinations (try finding a spot in St.Tropez during summer!). Formentera was considered one of Spain’s hidden gems – only really [...]

It was during my last year in Madrid, when I realized how much I actually enjoyed good food. I mean, I loved going out for dinners and lunches way before that, but it was that particular year, during which I first recognized food as a personal interest. That was the year in which food started [...]

I had promised more pictures and stories about my week in the tiny island on Formentera as soon as I got back to normal, and now that I‘ve recovered my computer and said goodbye to Switzerland – I thought it’s about time. Plus, I love to go through fun summer memories when it’s raining and [...]

I took this picture on my first day in London, on my way to my new office. I was so excited that I hardly could sleep that night and was already wide awake at 6am. I decided to walk to work – a 50 minute power walk through Hyde Park and little streets filled with [...]

I’ve read many blogs about people warning about Switzerland’s high prices. I can’t deny it – Switzerland is expensive. Food, in particular, can be 45% higher than the western European average. If you look at The Economist’s Big Mac Index, the price of a Big Mac in Switzerland is more than double of what you [...]

How do you say Goodbye to a place that has been your home for two years. A place that has taught you many things – that has seen you rise professionally, has seen you mature and become independent. That has helped you to discover youself and develop new hobbies. Well you can’t, really. Instead, I’ll [...]

This is a continuation of my day hiking from Belalp to Riederalp, in the Bernese Alps. Don’t miss the first part of the 14 kms hike! At the time I placed my feet on the suspension bridge, adrenaline sarted to rush through my veins. I was walking on a gridded floor, and 80 meters beneath, [...]

I havenn’t finished yet blogging about my week in Formentera, and usually hate doing these kind of jumps; but given that this is my very last week in Switzerland, I’ve decided to dedicate each of my posts to this beautiful country, and resume on vacation posts once I’m settled in London. I hope you don’t [...]

Remember the list of things I planned on doing during my week of Vacation? I’m proud to say I went through almost all of it. Almost. The one thing I did miss was renting out a bike – on my defense, it was around 35C during the day, and roads hardly ever were lit at [...]
