Switzerland

"Wedged neatly between Germany, Austria, France, and Italy, Switzerland melds the best of all worlds—and adds a healthy dose of chocolate, cowbells, and cable cars."

— Rick Steves, travel writer

Margaret is so lucky to have grown up with close family and family friends in Switzerland. She loved visiting as a little girl, as well as returning as a college student. It is at the top of her list of places she wants to take Shand. Its breathtaking scenery from lakeside cities to alpen villages won't disappoint. Neither will the cheese or chocolate! If you visit, consider investing in a quality timepiece. The Swiss are famous for both their punctuality, and the watches and clocks used to ensure it. Margaret firmly believes the best sleep in life can be had in Switzerland—after a day of trekking through the wildflowers and hills, nothing beats snuggling up under a fresh down duvet and staring at the billions of stars, all while cow bells twinkle in the background.
