I lived in Zurich, Switzerland, for five years growing up, and my family took that time as an opportunity to travel as much as possible.
These travels exposed me to new cultures, and left impressions and memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
From the beaches of southern Portugal to the canals of Amsterdam, here are the spots I consider must-sees.
Morcote is located on the shores of Lake Lugano, in the Italian part of Switzerland. It has the best of both worlds: Italian charm and Swiss cleanliness.
Besides Amsterdam's obvious tourist draws — legal marijuana and the Red Light District — its canals are incredibly picturesque and a great way to see the city.
The Church of Peace in Świdnica, Poland, is one of three 17th-century wooden Evangelical churches built in Southwestern Poland. The magnificent interior is stunning.
