Summer days in Zurich ☀️🇨🇭 Zurich was the first p Summer days in Zurich ☀️🇨🇭

Zurich was the first place I visited solo in Europe, and it quickly became one of my favourite cities to explore and photograph. It’s incredibly walkable, scenic at every turn, and filled with quiet moments along the water that make you want to slow down and stay a little longer.

I ended up taking hundreds of photos — but here are a few favourites from my short stay. Even better, many of the places I visited were completely free, which made exploring the city feel easy and spontaneous.

I only spent about a day and a half in Zurich, but I’d love to return someday to discover more. Some highlights included the peaceful views from Lindenhof, stumbling across murals painted in a police station, and golden hour along the River Limmat with the iconic white swans drifting past.

Have you ever visited Zurich?

📌 Tips for visiting Zurich, Switzerland 🚆 If you’re visiting multiple cities or regions, consider getting the Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats.

💧 Take advantage of the 1,200+ public fountains — the water is fresh, clean, and safe to drink.

🍴For affordable meals, grab food from Coop or Migros and enjoy it by Lake Zurich.

☀️Visit in summer? Join the locals for a swim in the lake or river — it’s such a fun (and free) experience.

🛍️Keep in mind that most shops close on Sundays, so plan ahead.

🚉 Public transport is incredibly punctual and easy to use — download the SBB Mobile app to make navigating simple.

📷 All photos were edited on @lightroom and taken on my @sony A6400 camera.

✨ Mindsets I’m unlearning in my mid-twenties 🙇🏻‍♀️ ✨ Mindsets I’m unlearning in my mid-twenties 🙇🏻‍♀️

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to grow — not by becoming someone new, but by slowly unlearning the habits and mindsets that no longer serve me.

My mid-twenties have felt less like a time of “figuring everything out” and more like learning to live with greater intention — slowing down, and appreciating the small, ordinary moments that make up a life.

It’s not a dramatic transformation, just quiet shifts happening in the background of everyday routines. And somehow, those small changes feel like they matter the most.

💬 What’s something you’re unlearning lately?

After sharing the first round of small changes that helped me spend less time on my phone, I wanted to share a few more habits that have made a real difference in my daily life. So here’s part 2 of small changes that have helped me reduce my screen time. 

Working full-time in social media means being online is unavoidable, but I’ve been learning how to step away more intentionally and create pockets of rest throughout my day. These are simple, realistic shifts that helped me scroll less without feeling like I was missing out.

If you’ve been craving slower evenings, more focus, and a little more presence in your routine, I hope this encourages you to try one small change this week.

✨️ Behind the scenes of how I edit my photos in Ad ✨️ Behind the scenes of how I edit my photos in Adobe @Lightroom. ✨️

Most of the time, I begin with one of my own presets — not to rush the process, but to give each photo a familiar starting point. From there, I make small adjustments depending on the light, the colours, and the feeling I want to preserve. These are a few favourite edits from my travels over the years, including Japan, Switzerland, Portugal and the Netherlands.
