Switzerland is a beautiful destination to kick back and relax or tap into your adventurous side.

Passionate lover of luxury experiences with travel always on the mind (so much so, my first grade-school book report was on a Lonely Planet Iceland Guide). When I'm not organizing a trip or reading about the latest 4 and 5-star hotel openings, you'll find me writing stories I share with friends and chowing down at my local hibachi place.
