France Trip: Strasbourg

Friday, April 10, 2026

Stopped in Strasbourg on my way to Paris. Already loving the train system at this point!

Stowed my suitcase in a luggage locker, there's apps for scheduling and handling that. More guaranteed than relying on an open train luggage locker. Allowed me to hoof it to the historic part of town which was absolutely delightful.

France Trip: Colmar

Sunday, April 5, 2026

Took a bus from Zurich to Colmar, France. What a smooth process! Then spent a night in Colmar, which is essentially the town from Beauty and the Beast, as far as I can tell. What a dream of a little town. Absolutely, completely, swoon-worthy.

So quaint it's anger-inducing? Like, there are not words for how picturesque this town is.

I could've wandered around, eating patisserie, enjoying the scenery and people watching for days. Instead, I gave myself one night!

France Trip: Zurich, Switzerland

Sunday, March 29, 2026

Everything's gone to hell, so I decided to go to France for 2 months last summer. Starting in Zurich, Switzerland to see a friend and her family!

Spent a few days wandering around Old Town...

...and climbing Uetliberg...

...with a couple meetings at ETH as this was, in fact, a business trip (to start with).

Asia 2025: Koh Samui, Thailand

Sunday, March 22, 2026

Capped off the Asia trip with a week and a half at Visit Nature Detox Resort in Lamai Beach, Thailand, in an attempt to get my head screwed back on right. 10 days of 3-5 hours of hikes, strength training, and yoga will do that!
