Welcome to beautiful Zurich, Switzerland! 🇨🇭 I have another European trip coming up soon.. also a place I've never been to before so stay tuned! Thank you as always for watching, love you all!
I have to be a bit bias and say this was BY FAR my most FAVORITE video, and I wished I could give several thumbs up!!! Having grown up 15 min outside of Zurich, this video brought back many memories from my childhood and left me navigating through the nostalgic maze from the past. Starting with Bellevue, which was daily tram stop when going to my high school or "Gymnasium" as we called it in German, to the Seepromenade "Lake Promenade"- the area along the lake where you saw all those sailboats and so - where we used to sit down on our lunch breaks and enjoy a sandwich with a wonderful view. Sometimes in early summer, right before school lets out for the summer breaks, we used to bring our swimsuits and jump off the bridge into the lake for a refreshing summer swim. Now a quick FYI, transportation tickets in Switzerland are valid for all PUBLIC transportation (Trams, Buses, Trains, Boats) within the zones for which they were purchased. If time permits, you can enjoy any one of these transportation methods on your next trip. I would recommend taking the boat from Zurich to Rapperswil (2hr scenic ride) and visiting the old town in the town at the opposite end of the lake, then take the train S7 from Rapperswil back to Zurich (45Min ride). Other than that, if you enjoy hiking (which I'm sure you do), I would also recommend visiting Pfannenstiel, and then catching the train back from Meilen to Zurich (15Min). If you ever get a winter trip to Zurich and you happen to enjoy skiing, take the train to Hoch Ybrig or Flumserberg for a quick day trip (Not necessarily the best skiing Switzerland has to offer, but by far the closest and the better than what I've seen elsewhere). There are many more suggestions I can come up with, but I believe this is enough for now. While I've recently starting routing all my trips to Europe through LHR (easier for those of us flying from DFW), I'd add PHL on my list for a layover on to ZRH. I've really enjoyed this video... keep it up
If you can stay for more than a couple days, I highly recommend that you get a 3-4 day Swiss Pass from SBB. It covers all transport - trains, boats, trams, even some gondolas. The general rule is if people live there, it's covered, so the gondola to Flumserberg is covered, but continuing up to Maschgenkamm is half price (and worth the view). But with your pass you can go to Luzern, or St Moritz, Zermatt, or anywhere. Enjoy!
Hi, Julia. My husband is also half-Swiss. We are from another of your favorite places, Salt Lake City, but right now we are living in Germany. One great thing to do in Zurich is to hike the Uetliberg. It's a quick hike (some people do it on their lunch break), but it gives you an amazing view of the city and lake and it's right there in the city. If you like art, you can check out the Marc Chagall windows in the Fraumünster. Hope you get to visit again soon!
Highly recommend going up to the UETLIBERG in Zurich. You can take the train from Zurich up to the top of the UETLIBERG Mountain and go on a beautiful hike with amazing views of the Swiss Alps and all of Zurich. There are also amazing lookout points & restaurants up on the mountain. It’s also close to the hotels in downtown Zurich so it’s a great way to be in nature, get in a great hike and be near Zurich and safe to do when on a layover.
Hi Julia, 07:14 this is already the Lake Zurich aka Zürichsee. For a future Trip to Switzerland, you have to visit Winterthur or Schaffhausen. I'm part of the #chuchichästlifraktion and live outside of Zurich. Give me next time a msg, when you come to Zurich and I can show you some more places.
I had the privilege of spending two or three days in Zurich with my family when I was ten;( I’m 64 now). I can’t remember the name of the hotel but it was very old with a running wooden elevator and the thickest, fluffiest goose down comforters I’ve ever slept under! We took a boat down the Rhine river and cable car ride up to a famous mountain. Our trip was in June and there was still snow in the ground on the cable car ride. White Swiss chocolate is still one of my favorite things to eat;( my mouth was watering when I saw your stash)! Stay safe in the sky’s and thank you for all you do to serve others!
My heritage is from the Italian part of Switzerland. I’ve been there when I was 3 and 13, but not since; I grew up and live in California. I enjoyed getting this glimpse of Zurich.
As a Swiss, Zurich is one of my favorit Cities! The souvenir shop was a classic tourist rip off😉Did you walk down the Bahnhofstrasse? One of the most expensive shopping streets I believe in the world. Tip: There is the Dolderbahn you could take up to the Dolder Grand Hotel or the Zurich Zoo is really nice too. Take the ship for a roundtrip, another nice way to see the surroundings.
Well..safe to say this might be another all time favorite of yours!! Just beautiful! Love all the goodies and such a pretty magnet! I assume many folks speak good English there. So cool of that gentleman to assist you with the picture taking. Wow, you might've caught a tail wind going over...seven hours on the journey ain't bad ! Interesting info about Eric and his mom too! Aww, I think Luna might have a favorite book she wants to read. 😃 Thanks Julia, so wonderful.
I'm sure someone probably mentioned this already, but a great day trip from Zürich is to go to Interlaken and Grindelwald. Both are beautiful and in the Swiss Alps. My sons and I were in Zürich in June in 2023 and loved that day trip. We also took a day trip the next day to Vaduz Liechtenstein. The Interlaken and Grindelwald trip was with a tour, but the trip to Liechtenstein was on our own. Super easy. Happy travels!
Hey Julia, next time in ZRH, you might want to try out these places, a bit more authentic than lousy santa lucia chain restaurants: - Con Gusto at Schaffhauserplatz (best pizza in the city) - Malabar Indian Restaurant in Oerlikon - Dapur Indonesian Vegan in Oerlikon - Gerolds Garten neat to your crew hotel is awesome (its really cool) and you might find some real zurich style bags at Freitag, the brand we all are very proud of here - Soul Köfte in Langstrasse has the only decent middle eastern street food To get out of the city and have a decent view, check out the Uetliberg, its a 20‘ train ride and a short hike up the hill. Near to your crew hotel, you might walk there easily, you will find the Gemeinschaftszentrum Wipkingen, its something rrrrreal swiss-zurich, an awesome park! And from there you could walk up all the way to Hauptbahnhof (main station) where you‘ve already been before. And hey, there is that river, true, but further up by the swans, thats our beloved LAKE 😂 Anyways, you did quite well (the hotel guy was a bit nasty to send you to bellevue, next time, let me know, i can get you better advice. (I am just a griendly swiss mom with a heart for tourists, as I had experienced sooo many nice canadians when I lived there so I try to return the good vibes)
Hey Julia yes Zurich very expensive my friends who live on Lake Zurich .. my suggestions for you depending on the time of year would be the swiss apps ie Luzern ie Pilatus via multiple cable cars to the top great views and restaurant. Nice day trip by train out of Zurich. Cheers Julia Tony Australia
Switzerland is fantastic, but it IS also expensive! Recommeneded: a day trip to Lucerne (Luzern in German). It's about a one-hour train ride from Zurich. A lovely town for walking, esp. along the shore of scenic Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee). Also great cogwheel-train climbs to mountains Rigi or Pilatus in the Swiss Alps.
I was just in Switzerland from Sept 8-19 including the three last days in Zurich. Enjoyed the video. On Saturday the opera house had a public stage in the square you filmed, and singers were singing famous arias and other ways to get people to buy tickets. The river you were next to is Lake Zurich I believe. The national museum was open when I visited, and it was a snore. You already know the great museums of Europe. There are few hidden gems. I enjoy your perky introductions to other travel.
Take the train to Luzern and ride the gondola up to Mt. Pilatus. Short train ride and you can spend the entire day exploring up there. Look it up. Lots of fun.
I lived in Switzerland for 15 years , i miss it so b ad, i remember in the 80s when we got our first McDonalds and it was very expensive, Switzerland is STUNNING... Go to the ALPS yes, BERN is stunning, but if i remember a little far from Zurich
Switzerland is quite unique! I have Swiss background on my mom’s side of the family. Going back a few generations someone came to the states from Switzerland. Beautiful country!! I absolutely love alphorn music! So majestic! Great video as always!! Have a blessed week!
This was a beautiful video, Julia. Does Eric have family in Switzerland still? It would have been great if he did and you could have met with them. Switzerland 🇨🇭 seems like a beautiful country from what you've shown us. How nice of someone to take pictures for you. I guess that's where that relationship trust comes into play. My husband trusts me, but he doesn't trust other men sometimes 🙄 😂 Anyway, thanks again, and hugs n kisses to baby Luna 🐾❤️🐾
haha at 7:18 that's actually not a river, that's part of Lake Zurich. However, the river (Limmat) starts just at the bridge that's behind you at this point and flows out of the lake.
Next time, try to catch the red train from the underground level of Zurich Main Railway Station to the Uetliberg from where you have a terrific view over all of Zurich, and a good part of Eastern Switzerland, provided the weather and view is as good as in your video. The Uetliberg is the hill chain to your right when you look South, i.e. direction of lake Zurich. There are of course also restaurants on top, plus a high observation tower. Best regards from someone who was born in Zurich.....
Crazy the prices didn't seem expensive at all. From Cali now living in Vegas. I see higher prices elsewhere. Only thing kinda expensive were the souvenirs. Thanks for taking us along! Luna wine!! ❤😂🐾
Zurich is one of my favorite city's in Europe, or anywhere else. Your video made me long to be there. So, I will be returning to Zurich by the end of this year.
Thank you for taking us along on this trip. It's exciting you'll get European trips now that you're based out of Philly. Super cool that Eric's family has a connection to Switzerland. You two will definitely have to visit. Yes, Switzerland is expensive!
Hi, Julia. There are some interesting details in your video which you probably missed. Just one example: at 11:08 where you walk up the steps to a place called "Lindenhof" there is a copy of a roman tombstone in the wall to your left dating back to about 200 AD. The original is kept at the National Museum shown at 14:46. This tombstone was found on Lindenhof in the year 1747. It was erected by his father for a toddler named Lucius Aelius Urbicus who died at the age of 1 year 5 months and 5 days. The father was responsible for the roman toll station TURIC(ensis) and this is the first known mention of TURICUM which was the latin name for Zurich. Old roman baths which can be visited are not far away.
Great vlog. European cities are so beautiful with amazing architecture. Thanks for taking us along, Julia. It's so cute how Luna brings you a present when you get home! She's so happy to see you.
We love going to grocery stores for chocolate and spices. Also those seasoning packets of curry. Great gifts for Eric's family. I loved that about his Mom.
Beautiful city, when I lived in London was always my Christmas holiday destination. Hiking overlooking Zurichsee, I eat at Santa Lucia too. Great job Julia
Great video Julia! U do such a nice job of filming! I especially liked the swans. Thanks for showing us how much u spent in American money. Thanks for sharing ❤ ✈
Switzerland was my favorite country in Europe and completely took me by surprise! We took a tram up to Mount Pilatus and it was amazing. Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your travels with us 😊
Love Switzerland another great vlog from you Julia love watching you vlogs especially when you are in Europe.keep up with your vlogs . Awesome ❤Luna is so cute.
What a great video! Was in Zurich in October 2019. My daughter in law was pregnant with a boy whose name would be Teddy. I have just a few pictures of the souvenir store lol.
Been following you from your first videos and suddenly there you are in my home city, Zurich! Glad you had a good time. For a day trip, I do suggest Luzern( or Lucerne). 1 hour by train and you are in a beautiful city smack right in front of the Alps, you might even get a chance to go up mount pilatus. In the old town, try Zeughaus Keller. A bit touristy but nice to get a Swiss feel.
Julia: Switzerland is my favorite country in Europe. I have been on two business trips to Geneva, and the Swiss Alps for skiing. If you have the opportunity to come back, I hope you can visit Geneva. Lake Geneva is fabulous. And book some time for you and Eric to do so snow skiing. Nothing like it in the world. Was this time your first on a 787?
Hi Julia, a very nice town, when you come to visit with Eric, is Murten on the eastern shore of Neuchâtel Lake, however it's a 3 hours drive from Zurïch. It's a medieval town, it still has the fortified ramparts around the old town, it was cool to walk on those ramparts and see the old town below.
I lived in Zurich for my entire childhood into my teenage years.(I live in Vancouver now) I love my home country so much and I miss it even more. But there are so many things you can do outside of Zurich. You can get so far with trains (it might be costly but worth it). There is the Zurich Zoo which is the best in Switzerland. There are also so many castles you can look at and even go into them. Also if you are trying to save money for lunch always go to Coop or Migros. Considering they are only a grocery store, they have such good sandwiches and depending on location hot lunches as well. Another thing you should try next time is a drink called Rivella (they have different colours always go for the red one, it's the best). I am not a big soda drinker but that stuff just hits differently.
Vancouver is becoming expensive like Switzerland now. I'm on the other Canadian cost and I see my hometown becoming like Vancouver. And I DON'T like that. Expensive and crowded.
Food- please try a rosti on your next layover in Zurich. Rosti is a Swiss potato cake with Gruyere cheese, onions, chives, etc.....super good 😁 Attractions- any train ride through the Swiss alps would be good. Your rockstar train ride would be Jungfraujoch, which is the tallest train station in Europe.. P.S.- gotta love seeing Luna running to you 😁🐶🐕
glad u enjoyed our beautiful country .. yes CH is expensive, but as a geneva-based swissie i found iceland and bermuda to be even more expensive than CH ! p.s. i hope u liked the helba chocolate (not my favourite) .. another great chocolate (and not the usual suspects, toblerone or lindt that u can buy everywhere) is FREY, the in-house brand of the other big supermarket "Migros" .. (maybe for ur next trip) ;-)
Since you were tracking costs, it might be interesting to tell us what you paid for the Ragusa bars in the supermarket and what the same bars would cost you from Amazon Prime.
I am shook by the 10CHF cappuccino+croissant combo: in Italy you would pay max. 3/4€! (am Italian myself living in Italy) By the way, Zurich and Switzerland are sooo beautiful!
What an awesome Trip 😍 Julia such a Beautiful city ( never been to that part ) but to Basel My oldest son & wife were in the Triol region in the summer,lots of walking. Stunning views ❤❤ . Be wonderful if you can get a Trip again Where Eric can show you around where he grew up 😊that would be amazing. Yes i agree its quite pricey but in General Europe is expensieve🫣. Footage was stunning. Thank you for sharing 🥰 😂😂😂the chocolate 🙏 it didn’t melt with the Heat . The Bookmarks and magnet are so so pretty 😍. Awww Luna you melt my 💖 those clips of her bringing your Book , gym bag ❤❤❤❤.
Welcome to beautiful Zurich, Switzerland! 🇨🇭 I have another European trip coming up soon.. also a place I've never been to before so stay tuned! Thank you as always for watching, love you all!

Europe is the best. So glad to be living in the U.K. Can get anywhere in Europe, quickly. Lots of culture.

I have been to Zurich. I took a boat ride on See Zurich! I bought expensive presents on Bahnhof Strasse! I saw Chagall's art work inside a church!
Hi Julia. Zurich looked really good, although expensive at the same time. I am glad Miss Luna brings you things! She is awesome. xxx
As a Swiss, Zurich is one of my favorit Cities! The souvenir shop was a classic tourist rip off😉Did you walk down the Bahnhofstrasse? One of the most expensive shopping streets I believe in the world.
Tip: There is the Dolderbahn you could take up to the Dolder Grand Hotel or the Zurich Zoo is really nice too. Take the ship for a roundtrip, another nice way to see the surroundings.
I really enjoyed her trip to Zurich, Switzerland. I would like to go to this beautiful European City in the future. Very well presented by Julia.

Luna, my new favorite wine which I’ve never had! 🤣👍🏽 Zurich was beautiful!
My new favorite too! 😂🐾
is it just me or does everything there look SO clean! lol. beautiful.
Everything was very clean! ☺️
So cool, congrats on your first international!
Thank you so much 😀
Hey Julia, next time in ZRH, you might want to try out these places, a bit more authentic than lousy santa lucia chain restaurants:
- Con Gusto at Schaffhauserplatz (best pizza in the city)
- Malabar Indian Restaurant in Oerlikon
- Dapur Indonesian Vegan in Oerlikon
- Gerolds Garten neat to your crew hotel is awesome (its really cool) and you might find some real zurich style bags at Freitag, the brand we all are very proud of here
- Soul Köfte in Langstrasse has the only decent middle eastern street food
To get out of the city and have a decent view, check out the Uetliberg, its a 20‘ train ride and a short hike up the hill.
Near to your crew hotel, you might walk there easily, you will find the Gemeinschaftszentrum Wipkingen, its something rrrrreal swiss-zurich, an awesome park!
And from there you could walk up all the way to Hauptbahnhof (main station) where you‘ve already been before. And hey, there is that river, true, but further up by the swans, thats our beloved LAKE 😂
Anyways, you did quite well (the hotel guy was a bit nasty to send you to bellevue, next time, let me know, i can get you better advice. (I am just a griendly swiss mom with a heart for tourists, as I had experienced sooo many nice canadians when I lived there so I try to return the good vibes)
Hey Julia yes Zurich very expensive my friends who live on Lake Zurich .. my suggestions for you depending on the time of year would be the swiss apps ie Luzern ie Pilatus via multiple cable cars to the top great views and restaurant. Nice day trip by train out of Zurich. Cheers Julia Tony Australia
Loved the tour of Old Town! Such a pleasure to watch. Thx!
Switzerland is fantastic, but it IS also expensive! Recommeneded: a day trip to Lucerne (Luzern in German). It's about a one-hour train ride from Zurich. A lovely town for walking, esp. along the shore of scenic Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee). Also great cogwheel-train climbs to mountains Rigi or Pilatus in the Swiss Alps.
Switzerland is expensive because it is the home of world finance and banking. All that money!
1:51 I recognise that hotel room as I stayed there the last time I was in Zürich.
I was just in Switzerland from Sept 8-19 including the three last days in Zurich. Enjoyed the video. On Saturday the opera house had a public stage in the square you filmed, and singers were singing famous arias and other ways to get people to buy tickets.

I really enjoyed this video. It’s been years since I was in Zurich and it was nice to see it again.
I lived in Switzerland for 15 years , i miss it so b ad, i remember in the 80s when we got our first McDonalds and it was very expensive, Switzerland is STUNNING... Go to the ALPS yes, BERN is stunning, but if i remember a little far from Zurich
Luna is sweet. I love the character of the architecture… older buildings are ornate with detailed designs.
Switzerland is quite unique! I have Swiss background on my mom’s side of the family. Going back a few generations someone came to the states from Switzerland. Beautiful country!! I absolutely love alphorn music! So majestic! Great video as always!! Have a blessed week!
Schaffhausen is also w worthwhile a Trip. The old town, the Munot and Rheinfall are the places to visit
well thats a great trip and beautiful city and country. great food. i know you enjoyed it. i enjoyed watching. thanks for sharing.
This was a beautiful video, Julia. Does Eric have family in Switzerland still? It would have been great if he did and you could have met with them. Switzerland 🇨🇭 seems like a beautiful country from what you've shown us. How nice of someone to take pictures for you. I guess that's where that relationship trust comes into play. My husband trusts me, but he doesn't trust other men sometimes 🙄 😂 Anyway, thanks again, and hugs n kisses to baby Luna 🐾❤️🐾
Yes it is the most expensive city in Europe but it it is also the most beautiful. You would love a hike in the mountains!
haha at 7:18 that's actually not a river, that's part of Lake Zurich. However, the river (Limmat) starts just at the bridge that's behind you at this point and flows out of the lake.

Thanks for your transparency on how much you spent on food. Good info to know!
My husband’s family is Swiss, so we have been to Switzerland many times. Switzerland is wonderful!
👍❤ I finally got it watched! Awesome video Julia!!

That was my favorite video I’ve ever watched on your channel. What a fun layover!
The sites and architecture look amazing as does that delicious food. A very fortunate trip.
I think that’s the best video you’ve made so far. Very interesting and well done.
Another awesome vid! Have fun!
Thanks so much for watching! ☺️
I had a feeling when you said “s” that it was Switzerland. So beautiful. I hope to go back someday!
Great vlog. European cities are so beautiful with amazing architecture. Thanks for taking us along, Julia. It's so cute how Luna brings you a present when you get home! She's so happy to see you.
Maybe Julia will bring back something nice for Luna. A Bernese puppy! One chased me on the bike yesterday!
We love going to grocery stores for chocolate and spices. Also those seasoning packets of curry. Great gifts for Eric's family. I loved that about his Mom.
Beautiful city, when I lived in London was always my Christmas holiday destination. Hiking overlooking Zurichsee, I eat at Santa Lucia too. Great job Julia
Hi Julia, I just got back from Zurich in May. Beautiful city and we drove couple hours south to Grimiwald in the Alps. Had a great time.
Loved this beautiful video Julia.....wow, just awesome to see! Thanks so much for sharing!
Great video Julia!
U do such a nice job of filming! I especially liked the swans. Thanks for showing us how much u spent in American money.
Thanks for sharing ❤ ✈
Switzerland was my favorite country in Europe and completely took me by surprise! We took a tram up to Mount Pilatus and it was amazing. Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your travels with us 😊
I believe that might be the same Mountain we visited!
Beautiful place
Beautiful city. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm dating in Brazil and I loved your dog. Beautiful .
Love Switzerland another great vlog from you Julia love watching you vlogs especially when you are in Europe.keep up with your vlogs . Awesome ❤Luna is so cute.
What a great video! Was in Zurich in October 2019. My daughter in law was pregnant with a boy whose name would be Teddy. I have just a few pictures of the souvenir store lol.
The picture the guy took of you are great! How nice!
Another fabulous vlog! I enjoyed it so much. Thank u for taking us along 😊
Zurich was beautiful.

For a day trip, I do suggest Luzern( or Lucerne). 1 hour by train and you are in a beautiful city smack right in front of the Alps, you might even get a chance to go up mount pilatus. In the old town, try Zeughaus Keller. A bit touristy but nice to get a Swiss feel.
Thank you so much for posting. I love the benefits of your career. I will never get to Switzerland..seeing your Video is the next best thing😊
Absolutely stunning video, like your others. Loved the swans. Food looked delicious. Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.
Julia: Switzerland is my favorite country in Europe. I have been on two business trips to Geneva, and the Swiss Alps for skiing. If you have the opportunity to come back, I hope you can visit Geneva. Lake Geneva is fabulous. And book some time for you and Eric to do so snow skiing. Nothing like it in the world. Was this time your first on a 787?
Hi Julia, a very nice town, when you come to visit with Eric, is Murten on the eastern shore of Neuchâtel Lake, however it's a 3 hours drive from Zurïch. It's a medieval town, it still has the fortified ramparts around the old town, it was cool to walk on those ramparts and see the old town below.
I lived in Zurich for my entire childhood into my teenage years.(I live in Vancouver now) I love my home country so much and I miss it even more. But there are so many things you can do outside of Zurich. You can get so far with trains (it might be costly but worth it). There is the Zurich Zoo which is the best in Switzerland. There are also so many castles you can look at and even go into them. Also if you are trying to save money for lunch always go to Coop or Migros. Considering they are only a grocery store, they have such good sandwiches and depending on location hot lunches as well. Another thing you should try next time is a drink called Rivella (they have different colours always go for the red one, it's the best). I am not a big soda drinker but that stuff just hits differently.
Vancouver is becoming expensive like Switzerland now. I'm on the other Canadian cost and I see
my hometown becoming like Vancouver. And I DON'T like that. Expensive and crowded.
Food- please try a rosti on your next layover in Zurich. Rosti is a Swiss potato cake with Gruyere cheese, onions, chives, etc.....super good 😁
Attractions- any train ride through the Swiss alps would be good. Your rockstar train ride would be Jungfraujoch, which is the tallest train station in Europe..
P.S.- gotta love seeing Luna running to you 😁🐶🐕
The tail wag with Luna’s treasures was awesome
Welcome to Switzerland. Usually you get a city pass from the hotel for free use of public transportation.
Yes! I knew it had to be Switzville! Totally called it, my 2nd guess was Sweden
Zurich looks beautiful
Take the ride to the top of the mountain, go down the other side and return by boat. That was a highlight of our visit before leaving by train
You just blend in wherever you go😊love your vids❤Thanks for sharing🌹
Cool!
My wife and some of her brothers went to college in Neuchatel back in the 1980’s
Omg. You came to my hometown😊so much fun to watch😀
Zurich looks so pretty. Loved your bookmarks you got. Also love how Luna is being her true self retrieving things for you. 😅
So exciting - what a great FA destination! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Loved seeing Zurich. Loved the grocery store idea
glad u enjoyed our beautiful country .. yes CH is expensive, but as a geneva-based swissie i found iceland and bermuda to be even more expensive than CH ! p.s. i hope u liked the helba chocolate (not my favourite) .. another great chocolate (and not the usual suspects, toblerone or lindt that u can buy everywhere) is FREY, the in-house brand of the other big supermarket "Migros" .. (maybe for ur next trip) ;-)
Really loved this one. Very relaxing. You look great and seem happy!
I love Luna and her welcome home grabs. Such a retriever
Beautiful video Julia! Hope to take a family trip sometime soon! ❤ U, xoxo
Nice one on this trip!
Lovely place. I like your positive attitude and energy
Love love your channel!!!
Happy safe travels!
Since you were tracking costs, it might be interesting to tell us what you paid for the Ragusa bars in the supermarket and what the same bars would cost you from Amazon Prime.
❤Another great video, Julia; much love to you, Eric and Miss Luna!
Beautiful city. Glad you got to enjoy it
Julia great video I always look forward to watching u love ya
I am shook by the 10CHF cappuccino+croissant combo: in Italy you would pay max. 3/4€! (am Italian myself living in Italy)
By the way, Zurich and Switzerland are sooo beautiful!
Thanks for sharing beautiful Zurich! The countryside is gorgeous and people are so polite and respectful!
Love you Luna! 😽❤️
I’m so happy you are going new places in your new base. Can’t wait for the next international destination! ❤
