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…

travel announcement (part two)! one week in switzerland for the wino
It’s been a really big year for me. I mean, really big. So it’s natural that I’m capping it all off with something else really big. One week in Switzerland, in all its Christmassy glory. In January, I married my handsome fiance. I had a year of travel firsts, from my trips to southern and northern California to our epic and life-changing #LTsouthafrica adventure. I spent time in London, re-discovered Spain, and spent many weekends toasting to dear friends at weddings, housewarmings, baby showers, and thirtieth birthday celebrations. Honestly, I could happily hang my hat after 2015, but unbelievably, it’s…

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…

swiss itinerary reflections: what could have been
We’re not quite sure how it happened, but it has officially been one month since we set off for Switzerland and Ireland. It felt like we spent so much time planning our Swiss itinerary, it’s impossible to believe the trip has come and gone. As hindsight is always 20/20, we’ve spent most of this month reviewing our glorious week of European exploration. As a result, we’ve discussed basically every detail of our days abroad. Final ruling? We planned a pretty stellar Swiss itinerary, especially for first-timers. Including our extended layover in Dublin, we were able to explore 6 cities in…
