Breakfast at 9AM helped kick the day off. An hour later I found myself checking out and once again heading back to Interlaken West. The rain started to pick up so the 30+ lbs of gear I carried felt even heavier. I made it within five minutes of my train’s …
The forecast had called for storms since my arrival in Interlaken a few days ago. Yesterday, while canyoning almost an hour away, rain hit Interlaken. Additionally warmer weather several days prior had also caused some of the ice caps to melt faster than normal. Finally, additional rain today added more …
The day had finally come, I would go ‘canyoning’ in one of the world’s most extreme canyons with some of the best guides in the business. For those unfamiliar, Google defines canyoning as “the sport of exploring a canyon by engaging in such activities as rappelling, rafting, and waterfall jumping.” …
Damn Prodigy killed it last night. So much so, that waking up this morning proved a bit more difficult than expected. It also did not help that all of my hostelmates still had their eyes closed as well. Thus, after packing in near silence, I checked out and made my …

Two girls, err countries, one c..DAY I mean. With a week left to go, I had to check off my 20th country in Europe so I planned an excursion primarily to Liechtenstein. You know, the principality that Snopp Lion (Dog) tried to rent out for a music video. Anyways, I …
Deutschland! deutschland, … deutsch…land… Oh ya, it’s already the next morning. ‘Reading’ the newspaper, I quickly reminded myself just how much sex sells, even more than the most popular sporting event in the world. These German player won on more levels than one, that’s for sure! Well, after a long …
