My favorite souvenir from Greece
I went to Greece with plans to shop, since the country is more affordable than Switzerland. And I did bring home a few special things (like an olive wood cutting board and a gold necklace), but my most cherished souvenir was completely free–the pebbles I collected on Firiplaka Beach. We found Firiplaka beach on accident…

Family time
My parents arrive in Geneva today! I am so excited to share my Swiss world with them, as well as some travel through Chamonix-Mont Blanc and Piedmont, Italy. Seven days of family time. The last time we were in Europe together I was a 20-year-old college student trying to figure out if I belonged at…

Greece is the word
How does one sum up two weeks spent in Greece? Maybe by the number of photos taken. Or by the pounds of feta consumed. Perhaps by the number of times I said “Wow, this country!” when bowled over by its beauty (or “Ugh, this country!” when frustrated by its un-Swiss inefficiencies). When I attempted to…
