Hi, I’m Laura — a travel writer with a thing for Switzerland and Central Europe. I write practical, down-to-earth guides that help people get the most out of their trips, whether they’re navigating mountain trains in the Alps or finding the best cafés in small Czech towns. I’m based in Zurich, but I’m often on the road, notebook in hand, chasing great views, good food, and local stories. My goal? To make travel feel less overwhelming and way more fun.
