Lapin à l'orange (rabbit with orange and ginger sauce): skiing in Chamonix

As I just realized, the past winter (despite my injuries) I managed to have squeezed in double digits of skiing days. This is a massive achievement for an ultra non-sporty person with minimal skiing experience! A lot of it was due to some impromptu skiing weekends in places close to Zurich (the benefits of being in Central Europe!)

Galettes: cheap eats in Paris!

Montmartre at dusk.
Sacre Coeur (L), throngs of tourist trying to take arty photos of that pointy tower at sunset (M), an artist hard at work (R)

The past couple of months have been full of hectic travelling for both work and fun, going from super-hot to super-freezing weather! But this also meant lots of feasting in between, which has unfortunately resulted in coming home to Switzerland with an extra 3 kilos of food baby… (detox starts next week).

Luxurious Quiche Lorraine: Champagne, France

Reims Cathedral, much prettier than the Notre Dame Paris :) 

Moving to Europe was definitely one of the best things I've ever done. We've been here for a year already but the novelty of traveling around Europe still hasn't worn off. When we first arrived we decided to buy a General Abonnement travel card, which allowed us unlimited travel around Switzerland for a whole year on any form of transport and discounts on trains in France, Germany, and Italy. It was definitely a good purchase!
