lakeside luxury // one night in lausanne, switzerland
It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than two months since my Mom, Mari and I were hopping from Christmas market to Christmas market across Switzerland. The time may have flown by, but fret not, my fellow Swiss lovers, I haven’t forgotten one bit about our epic adventure. I still have so much to share! Over the course of a week, we traveled by train to Geneva, Verbier, Bern, and Lucerne. Finally, we ended our time with one night in Lausanne. You may remember that the romantic and I visited Lausanne a few years back. We spent two snowy…

lucerne for the (lazy) first-timer
After we kicked off our grand girls getaway in Geneva, we were off to spend the next few days après-sking in Verbier and pretzel-eating in Bern. As an additional stop, we were also lucky to visit Lucerne. For most of our trip, I was playing tour guide for my Mom and Mari. This was because I’ve been fortunate enough to visit the first three stops on our itinerary before. I was definitely happy to revisit some of my favorite Swiss cities. But we also wanted to add at least one place into our itinerary that was new for all of…

a lazy girl’s guide to 48 hours in geneva
When one of my best friends, Amy, moved from New York City to Geneva for a new job, I started plotting ways I could make the trek across the Atlantic and meet her in Switzerland. After almost a year and a half of waiting, the stars finally aligned with a two-part ultimate reason. Finally, I would have 48 hours in Geneva. Reason #1. With my 30th birthday looming on the horizon, my mom wanted to throw me a birthday party. I kindly declined. Instead, I suggested a different idea. What if we planned a mother/daughter birthday getaway to see Amy…

#LTfriendsgiving // an alpine roadtrip with auto europe
Depending on where you live, you might be dealing with the same (disappointing) unseasonably warm weather. It’s definitely what we’re each facing in Philadelphia and London this holiday season, and it is BLEH. But while it looks like a white Christmas will take place only in our dreams this year, we can’t complain. We had a quick preview of a real winter wonderland during our alpine roadtrip for #LTfriendsgiving, and it was everything we wanted and more. We have lots to share from our long weekend in the French Alps, but we thought we’d start at the very beginning: with…

the lazy travelers take europe: the wino’s irish & swiss highlights
I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a while. but now that I sit down to do it, I’m getting majorly overwhelmed by all of the wonderful things we got to see and do (and eat and drink) on our European adventure. Short of posting my journal verbatim, it’s hard to capture everything I loved about our time in Switzerland and Ireland. And no offense guys, but I don’t really want you reading my journal. So alas, you’ll have to settle for my Irish and Swiss highlights. After careful consideration, this is what I’ve come up with: Bern…
