Switzerland has been on my TODO list for quite some time, but it was only recently in 2017 that I finally had the chance to go visit, following an invitation to visit Lausanne University. I took the flight over to Geneva,
Visions of Vienna : Austria
Last time I visited Vienna I was an elementary school child. I have what I think are flashbacks of specific moments around Vienna with my Viennese grandma, riding a rocking boat on the Danube river, going up what was at the
Checkpoint Charlie & Gendarmenmarkt : Berlin

Teleférico en Rosales cable car : Madrid
Madrid has a cable car near the city center that takes you out to the main Madrid park and nearby amusement parks. I generally like cable cars and the opportunity to see a city from above, even if it’s usually
Visions of Bath : United Kingdom
In 2001, I had a plan of visiting a friend in New York, with a British Airways flight stopping over in London. Then, 9/11 happened, and all flights to New York were cancelled for almost three weeks, leading to my
