After hours of researching the best things to do in Switzerland, these are the experiences I don’t regret booking—and the things I’m thankful I prepared for in advance to save both money and time. From underrated gems and bucket-list experiences to unforgettable stays.

💭 Comment “guide” and I’ll send you my one-week Switzerland travel itinerary.

🗺️ What’s included in my Switzerland travel guide:

🗓️ A detailed one-week, day-by-day itinerary (Zurich, Lucerne & underrated gems)

✅ Pre-Switzerland travel checklist (travel passes, booking links & map links)

📍 +75 map pins with direct links to attractions, photo spots, and scenic viewpoints

💵 Budget expense tracker for your trip

📋 +10 helpful resources and apps you should know about when planning your Switzerland trip

📌 Extra Switzerland travel tips:

🌦️ Make use of live webcams and weather forecasts ahead of time when planning your itinerary

✨New year, new introduction 🙇🏻‍♀️ With a few new ✨New year, new introduction 🙇🏻‍♀️

With a few new faces here, I thought I’d reintroduce myself by sharing some of my favourite Substack pieces from the past few months.

Last year, I started investing more time in long-form writing, and it’s been both cathartic and genuinely grounding. Creating work that reaches an audience beyond the algorithm is such a rewarding feeling — especially knowing there are thousands of you tuning into this newsletter. I hope when you’re reading, you find something useful, comforting, or thought-provoking, and you’re always welcome to share your own thoughts too. 

I also host a monthly Q&A on Substack, where I answer questions submitted by you and share exclusive advice and resources I don’t post anywhere else — from career and financial literacy to travel and the in-between moments of life.

🔗All of these pieces live on my Substack, linked in my bio.

🗓️ I send out a weekly newsletter every Sunday/Monday (depending on your timezone). If you enjoy these recommendations, I’d love to meet you in your inbox 💌
