So long, farewell Zurich. It’s off to Lausanne we go! A two-hour train ride from Zurich Main Station deposited us off in the picturesque town of Lausanne. Instant love. It might have had something to do with the fact that Lausanne greeted us with clear, sunny skies and warm air, while Zurich had been a […] Read more…

zurich: day three
Our trip to Zurich was jam-packed with things to do. It’s tough to see and do everything a city has to offer in just a few short days but we sure gave it a good ol’ college try. We started out with what turned out to be the highlight of the day: A cooking class […] Read more…
zurich: day two
I start the day off with breakfast at the hotel to fuel up for a morning of exploring Zurich on foot. This city is breathtaking. Despite the cloudy skies and chilly air, the city looms grand and impressive at every turn. Our tour guide begins by taking us to Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most […] Read more…
zurich: day one
I landed in Zurich at around 6am yesterday morning and was exhausted. I didn’t sleep on the seven-hour, 10-minute flight (part excitement, part couldn’t-get-comfortable) but once the plane’s wheels touched terre firma I was pumped up, ready for my adventure. From the airport, I took a train to Zurich Main Station and then a tram […] Read more…

It was a much-needed escape to the happiest place on earth and it’s the […] Read more…

rodeo drive
As I mentioned yesterday, I was just in California (Beverly Hills, to be precise) and I was chilling at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. While I was quite content to amuse myself at the hotel (gym, spa, pool, not to mention my sweet suite), I was also looking forward to taking a […] Read more…
four seasons los angeles at beverly hills
I just got back from California and while I was there, I had the good fortune to stay at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills and I have to tell you, I sort of felt like a rock star. The hotel has just undergone a $33 million renovation and the result is a […] Read more…
dune bashing with johnny jet
I don’t consider myself a daredevil but along my travels, I’ve had the opportunity to try different things that have made me a little weak in the knees. There was the 5.7-kilometre cable car ride up to see the Big Buddha in Hong Kong. There was the AJ Hackett Skywalk, 233 metres high, along the […] Read more…
