  • Paragliding in Switzerland

    Paragliding in Switzerland

    When I think of Switzerland, I think of Swiss Alps, the Matterhorn, and adventure sports with fantastic views. One of the parts I was looking forward to was paragliding! While we were visiting, we saw many paragliders floating through the sky against the mountainous backdrop. We had planned on going paragliding while in the Jungfrau […]

    Adventuring through a Fairy Tale: Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Mürren [Jungfrau Region, Switzerland]

    One of the areas I was most excited to visit was the Jungfrau region (within Bernese Oberland), which includes Interlaken, Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren, and Lauterbrunnen.

    May 16, 2013 Kia ora! (Hello!) Jet lag + international date line = my body very confused all night. This was my strange experience overnight. We went to bed around 8:30pm (4:30am in FL time) last night, and I woke up multiple times in the night trying to figure out where I was, what time […]

  • Pre-Departure: New Zealand

    Pre-Departure: New Zealand

    May 9, 2013 I am going to New Zealand in less than a week to study abroad for a little under a month. I figure the best way to remember this journey is to blog offline and then send the posts whenever I have wifi (which apparently won’t be all the time). The program I […]
