This is a space for everything — both to stay organized and be messy with thoughts, opinions, and everything else.

Hoping to use this to create a log for my life and that it can grow over time. Ideally, some day it can have all my favorites, inspiration, fleeting thoughts and everything in-between.

Anything before this post is back-dated to share some of my favorite things.

Did the most beautiful hike (maybe the most beautiful place?) I’ve ever done today in Switzerland.

To get there we took a train from Lucern, then got on a bus, and then a gondola all the way up the the car-free village of Stoos.

From there, it was about a 2 mile (about 2.5 hour) hike up to the top where the views we genuinely unbelievable.

There was a brewery at the top too which was awesome – maybe the best beer I’ve ever had.

Took a  2 hour train ride from Lugano (Southern Switzerland) to Lucerne (further north) and it was honestly one of the prettiest journeys I’ve ever taken. the views through the Swiss countryside were almost hard to even believe.

Once we got to Lake Lucerne we got on a boat which took us about 2 hours across the lake to the city of Lucerne.

The water was so blue that is was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. You’d think after a 4 hour day of traveling we’d be sick of it but the views were so incredible that it went fast.

Got engaged in the Helsinki Winter Garden to the love of my life today. Was a perfect day and somehow managed to keep the surprise up until the very end.

Despite it being 9am on a Tuesday, it was so joyful that it felt like a weekend.
