I’ve visited Switzerland three times now.
This was my first visit to Switzerland. Of my three trips, this one was the most unplanned (least planned?), meaning I arrived with a return ticket and lodging for the first two nights, then nothing beyond that. I’d make most of it up as I went along, which has its benefits and drawbacks.
I took this trip with my father in July and August of 2023. The itinerary was:
Unfortunately I did not journal this trip, though I have many photos I may share at some point.
This trip took place entirely within Switzerland, and I went solo. Fortunately I spent time journaling my journey.
About halfway through my journaling I started making a conscious effort to capture not only what I was doing, but how I was feeling – my mental state as a solo traveller. I don’t think I did a good job here. I hope to do more of this introspection in the future. Solo travel can be taxing, especially when you’re around people who are surrounded by their friends and family.
