With big trips to Slovakia & Zurich under my belt, armed with a new oxygen system it was time to extend the legs of the aircraft again, with a bucket list trip to Bologna, Italy. I had previously flown to Bologna a few times as a cabin crew, but I longed to return to Italy’s hidden secret.
With its breathtaking cityscapes, world-renowned food and untouched cultural architecture combined with the later summer warmth, this was a trip I longed for. What better way to do it than with my fellow friend, buddying photographer Andrew.
With a trip finally planned across the Alps, what possibly could go wrong? Oh yes, Thunderstorms.
It’s always been a dream to fly to bigger airports, this time a country I’ve never visited; Switzerland. There were two choices to choose from that I fancied for my visit, Zurich or Geneva. Deciding between the both of them is a tough one, no doubt about it. They are both similar, but Geneva is smaller and the rivers and lakes that run through each figure heavily into their appeal.
Switzerland is often described as a “heaven on Earth” due to its stunning natural beauty, picturesque landscapes with alpine snow peaks and high quality of life – but it’s also very expensive, even more expensive than Scandinavia. The plan has been to fly to Geneva or Zurich for the last couple of years so it was finally a ‘Dream come true’ to have the possibility come true.
