Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland |

If there ever was a place that embodied the word "picturesque", it would be Lauterbrennen, a little town nestled in the Swiss Alps. With lush green mountains, rapid glacial waterfalls set against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, Lauterbrennen won our hearts with its ode-to-nature charm. We were there for two days, staying at a camping ground in log cabins. Some went skydiving in a helicopter while others took a train up to the mountain Jungfrau to admire the snow. I went with 3 fellow travellers on our Topdeck tour to the glacial waterfalls called Trummelbach Falle. It wasn't adrenaline pumping but the long walk there and the actual falls itself made for a very peaceful day. At night it was a different story. We chilled our local beers and wine in the creek filled with ice cool glacial water and partied into the wee hours of the morning.
What a night in the Swiss Alps!

Instapost |


As the title suggests, this post is a selection of my instagram photos. I am pretty much in love with this app and hoping that it will become my new best friend as I begin my travels this Sunday. First stop is London and I am looking forward to that 20..no, 23-hour flight (I hope there will be some good in-flight movies).  I'm trying to stock up my iPad with e-books in case I get bored on the flight but knowing me I'll probably just spend the majority of the time sleeping :). First night will be spent in a London hostel called Clink78, it will be my first time in a hostel and somehow I thought it would be a good idea to stay in a 10-people dorm... now I'm wondering "was I drunk when I made that booking?!"
Oh well, it will be an adventure.
