This Saturday is Switzerland’s National Holiday, so I’ve rounded up my favorite photos from the past ten months of living in this beautiful country. (Spoiler: Switzerland looks good from every angle.) I may only have a visa, but I’m a proud Swiss resident and feel fortunate to experience what makes this part of the world truly special. Hop Suisse! Hopp Schwiiz! Forza Svizzera! 

If you are interested in celebrating Swiss National Day in the States, apparently there are celebrations in New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. If you do not live near any celebrations I’d recommend watching Heidi over some raclette …but for now, a few links:
