Swipe for a peek through my camera roll in Switzer Swipe for a peek through my camera roll in Switzerland 📸✨

I finally gave this “what you see vs what I took” trend a go, which gave me an excuse to dig into my Europe travel archives to match real-life moments with the photos and videos I came home with.

It’s always interesting comparing the scene in front of me with the final image — sometimes the difference comes down to a small change in perspective, framing, or zoom.

A few tips for getting similar shots:

📷 I usually shoot on either my @Sony camera or @Samsung phone. When I'm using my camera, having a zoom lens makes a huge difference for capturing details, architecture, and subjects that are further away.

✨ My go-to travel lens is the @tamronaus 17–70mm. It’s incredibly versatile and lets me switch between landscapes, portraits, street scenes, and architecture without constantly changing lenses.

🔍 Don't be afraid to use zoom. Whether you're shooting on a camera or your phone, some scenes look much stronger when you zoom in slightly (2x–4x) to simplify the composition and draw attention to your subject.

One of the most popular views you'll see of Lauterbrunnen online. You'll want to visit early in the morning to avoid the crowds. 🤭

This street was once awarded the "most beautiful street" in Europe.

Views after the ride up to the toboggan ride in Grindelwald. This was taken around midday so the lighting was a bit harsh.

Iconic shot of the locals of Switzerland. 🐄🐮

Found this viewpoint with now crowds in Grindelwald. Best spot for a sunrise or sunset.

🙇🏻‍♀️ My Mandarin studies have been moving at a slower pace lately, but I recently discovered a handy plug-in that's made self-study at home much easier.

 I usually aim for at least 30 minutes a day, but I'm currently working towards building that up to an hour daily.

The cooler weather has meant I've started using more of my regular skincare products on the go. 

🎧 It's been a busy month, so I've been listening to more podcasts while commuting, running errands, or pottering around the house. 

Here are a few podcasts I've particularly enjoyed recently.

💌 If you're into podcast recommendations, long-form articles, and other media favourites, I share them regularly in my Substack newsletter.

June saw a lot of my down time consumed by Asian dramas. Chinese dramas have also been helpful with practicing my reading and listening skills. 🤔

📚 Reading was a little slower this month, but I've been leaning into summery reads to balance out the colder weather. Carley Fortune has been one of my favourite authors lately, and my standout read was One Golden Summer from her Barry's Bay series. 

Has anyone watched the TV adaptation of Every Summer After on @primevideoaunz yet?

📖 Even with a slower reading month, I'm still on track to reach my goal of reading 60 books this year. 

I use @the.storygraph to track my stats, but I also love organising my book notes, reviews, and reading data in Notion. (You can find my reading template through the link in my bio.)

Summer in Zurich looks a little like this… ✨🇨🇭 🗺️ Summer in Zurich looks a little like this… ✨🇨🇭

🗺️ Comment ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send you my Zurich travel guide with over 50 map pins.

Zurich was the very first stop on my solo Europe trip, and it quickly became one of my favourite cities in Switzerland.

There’s something special about the way historic streets, crystal-clear water, and beautiful scenery all come together here.

I only spent a day and a half exploring, but it left a lasting impression. Some of my favourite moments were soaking up the views from Lindenhof, stumbling across colourful murals hidden inside a police station, and watching the white swans glide along the River Limmat at golden hour.

📍Tips for visiting Zurich, Switzerland

🚆 If you're exploring multiple cities or regions, consider the Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited train, bus, and boat travel.

💧 Bring a reusable water bottle and fill up at Zurich's public fountains — the water is fresh, clean, and completely safe to drink.

🥐 For budget-friendly meals, pick up food from Coop or Migros and enjoy a picnic by Lake Zurich.

☀️ Visiting in summer? Take a swim in the lake or river like the locals do — one of the best free experiences in the city.

🛍️ Many shops are closed on Sundays, so it's worth planning ahead.

🚉 Public transport is incredibly efficient and easy to navigate — the SBB Mobile app makes getting around simple.

Which one surprised you the most? Quietly reached Which one surprised you the most?

Quietly reached a new milestone this month — 68,000 of you 🥹🤍 It’s been more than five years since I started this little corner of the internet, growing it from 0 to 68k, and along the way, there have been plenty of lessons, mistakes, and experiences that have shaped my twenties.

Since there are quite a few new faces here, I thought I’d share a little behind the scenes.

What you see:
✈️ Lots of overseas trips & bucket list experiences
📸 Curated photos and videos
🌍 Moments that make life feel exciting

What you don’t see:
💻 A regular 9-to-5 job
💰 Saving and budgeting for the trips I take
📅 Annual leave requests and careful planning
📚 Evenings spent studying, editing, and replying to emails
🧺 Ordinary weekdays, laundry, errands, and quiet nights at home

Social media often captures the highlights, not the whole story. Comparison becomes a lot easier when we're comparing our everyday lives to someone else's highlight reel. Despite what my feed might suggest, I don’t travel full-time and do content creation on the side. Most years, I take one overseas trip that I've saved up for and planned carefully around work.

So if you've ever felt like you're falling behind because of what you see online, this is your reminder that there is so much happening behind the scenes that never makes it online.

I almost skipped this place on my Switzerland trip I almost skipped this place on my Switzerland trip ✨

Out of all the places I visited in Switzerland, this tiny mountain village ended up being one of the biggest surprises.

It wasn’t originally part of my itinerary, but I decided to visit on a day trip from Grindelwald and quickly understood why so many people fall in love with it. Life moves at a slower pace here. Instead of busy streets and crowds, you'll find traditional wooden chalets overflowing with flowers, grazing cows, and sweeping views of the Jungfrau mountains.

With just around 100 residents, this peaceful alpine village has managed to preserve its original character. The loudest sound you'll hear is usually the gentle ringing of cowbells, making it feel like you've stepped into a postcard or a storybook.

If you're searching for a quieter side of Switzerland away from the crowds, this charming village deserves a place on your Europe bucket list.

📌 Tips for visiting: 
🚗 The village is completely car-free and can only be reached by public transport.

 🚠 Take the cable car from either Stechelberg or Mürren. 

🍃 You can easily combine a visit to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald.

 🏔️ For incredible mountain views, consider staying at Mountain Hostel and Pension Gimmelwald.

And if you haven't guessed it already…

Have you heard of the oldest botanical garden in t Have you heard of the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands?

At first glance, it feels like a peaceful escape filled with exotic plants, glasshouses and hidden pathways. But wander a little longer and you'll discover you're walking through centuries of scientific history.

Founded in 1590, this garden began as a hortus medicus (medical herb garden), created to support the education of medical students by providing access to plants used in pharmacology. Its establishment was closely tied to the founding of Leiden University in 1575, during a period of scientific and intellectual renewal across Europe.

More than four centuries later, it has grown into a living botanical museum filled with rare plants, flowers and trees from around the world. You'll find giant water lilies from South America, jade flowers from the Philippines, and one of the oldest ginkgo trees in the Netherlands, originally native to China 🌱

💡 Save this for your next Netherlands trip:

– Wander through lush glasshouses filled with tropical plants and rare species from across the globe.

– Visit the historic orangery and discover botanical collections that have been growing here for centuries.

– Follow one of the themed walking routes and learn the fascinating stories behind the garden's most famous plants.

– Take a quiet break amongst ponds, flowers and ancient trees in one of Leiden's most peaceful spots.

And the best part? It's located just a 15-minute walk from Leiden Central Station. This is📍 Hortus Botanicus Leiden in the #Netherlands.

🎟️ Adult tickets: €13.50

🕘 Open daily: Spring & Summer: 9am–6pm Autumn & Winter: 10am–5pm

💭 Would you visit this hidden gem?
