Life in Lausanne, Switzerland is comfortable. It’s the kind of life that you can get used to, but also easily grow to take for granted. High quality at it’s finest. Here’s a glimpse of our pre-COVID life. Little snippets of it. We walked around downtown Lausanne to look at the Light Festival. For new years […]
Israel & Jordan (Part 2 of 2)
Although the title of this blog post suggests that it is about both Israel AND Jordan, it is in fact only about Jordan. This is a continuation of my trip to both countries in December 2019. You can read part 1 of 2 here. If I continue where I left off in part 1, we […]
Israel & Jordan (Part 1 of 2)
Found some motivation to write again. This time, it’s about my 1-week trip to Israel and Jordan (December 2019). We flew from Geneva to Tel Aviv on Tuesday, December 24th and arrived around noon time. Later in the day, we had a flight to catch from Tel Aviv to Eilat, but until then, we decided […]
Lyon, France
Every December in Lyon, France, the city holds the Festival of Lights. In 2019, we decided to drive to Lyon and stay there overnight from Saturday to Sunday. The first thing we did when arriving in Lyon was grab some Korean BBQ at OGAM Restaurant Coréen. It wasn’t the best, but it’s better than anything […]
Istanbul, Turkey

Tiny Swiss Cabin, Hans Zimmer, and Rhine Falls
We went on a short 2 night cabin trip just outside of Zurich back in November of 2019. The main reason was to attend the Hans Zimmer live concert at Hallenstadion, Zurich. But because the concert was on a Thursday night, this meant that we had to drive to Zurich after work Thursday and then […]
A Weekend in the French Riviera — Nice, Menton, Monaco, Cannes, and Antibes
Can’t stop, won’t stop. To continue my 2019 resolution of 1 new country per month, we planned a trip to Monaco for September. The best way to get to Monaco is by taking a short train ride from Nice, France. This is why we chose to fly to Nice, which turned out to be super […]
