Hi, I’m Sophie. I live travelling and recently discovered the joy of solo travelling. A few years ago, I lived in Auckland, New Zealand for a year and then travelled around the world for 14 months. I now live in Switzerland with my boyfriend and two cats, but we are looking to move abroad again depending on where my boyfriend finds work.

Solo travel experience

I was in Switzerland in May for 6 days. I had a car and drove from Zurich to Zermatt and spent 2 days there. Then went to Lauterbrunnen for 2 days and Lucerne for 2 days. I took a day trip to Bern for like half a day. It was a lot of movement but I had a wonderful time and it’s crazy beautiful there.

Solo travel experience

I went on a 10-day trip to Switzerland by myself. It was more beautiful than I thought it would be. It was also more expensive than I expected. If you're planning to go, I suggest getting a Swiss Travel Pass. It gives you free rides on trains, buses, and boats, free entry to most museums and discounts on other activities. I got a lot of value out of it. I stayed in Zurich for the first week and took day trips to Bern (my favorite), Luzern, Liechtenstein (the pass works there too), Stein am Rhine and Jungfraujoch. Then I went to Zermatt (The Matterhorn is amazing) and took the Glacier Express to Saint Moritz before returning to Zurich to fly home.

Solo travel experience

I travelled to Switzerland solo and loved it. Stayed in hostels and cooked my meals. I mostly spent my money on activities. I enjoyed Zermatt and Interlaken and surrounding areas like Lauterbrunnen and Jungfrau.

Solo travelWhich city is better for a mix of city life, day trips, and nightlife: Zurich or Geneva?

I’m off to Switzerland and was wondering what city would be preferable to base myself in- Zurich or Geneva? I want the best of both, the city feel and the opportunity to do a day excursion to beautiful mountainous parts of the country. I also like a good party. Which would be better?
