Snow, valleys, and green as far as the eye can see.

Over the past few days, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to hike 11 miles on 4 different trails in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. These 11 miles were, hands down, the most beautiful 11 miles I’ve ever seen.

These 4 days in Switzerland were incredible. The people I met while here made my time so enjoyable. Perhaps my favorite memory was the Latin American festival that I and 3 other solo travelers stumbled upon in Interlaken one night. I was with an American, a Korean, and a Canadian, salsa dancing in Switzerland. And afterwards, we ate pizza. I don’t know exactly how this happened but I loved every second of it.

Switzerland: the most beautiful country in the world. Take a look at these pictures and see if you agree! All were taken with a GoPro Hero 3+ Silver and have not been edited. They feature a hike through the Lauterbrunnen valley, a hike along Lake Brienz, the Eiger Trail, and a hike from Eigersletcher to Kleine Scheiddeg (I dare you to try and pronounce that one). Shoutout to my hiking partner Paul for putting up with my weird self for a whole day. Enjoy!

And, my favorite picture of them all:

Au revior and hello from Southern France! Next stop: Cinque Terre!
