Walking Across the Country of Liechtenstein

Walking Across the Country of Liechtenstein

I’ve realized that I’ve made quite a few references to my experience of walking across a country on this blog (like here and here), but I’ve never told the story.  So today’s the day it’s going today happen.  Today’s the day I’m going to tell my story of walking across the country of Liechtenstein.
It was April 2017.  The snow in central Europe was pretty much fully-melted.  We were officially into spring – so it was time.  It was time to frolic across the country of Liechtenstein.

Switzerland Zermatt MatterhornFor the handful of you who have been following this blog for a while, you know that, last year, I studied abroad in Switzerland for eight months.  It’s been eight months since I left the Geneva airport for the last time, and I’ve been pretty nostalgic these past few days (all the Swiss Instagram accounts I follow are probably fueling this nostalgia with their winter wonderland-like pictures of the Alps and the cute Swiss towns).  So to try to cure my nostalgia, here are a few things I miss about Switzerland.

The idea of having a list of things to do and needing to complete them all isn’t my thing – it’s basically another to-do list, and I’m not about that. I do have an adventure list, which is similar in that it is also a list of cool things to do; however, I do not feel the need to complete them all.

End of Abroad Switzerland Matterhorn Drawing

Ending my abroad experience in Switzerland has arguably been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to endure.  I’ve only been gone for three days, and for some reason I already miss the sound of the trains rushing by and the ridiculously expensive food that constantly had me checking the balance of my bank account.

Now ​I’ve realized that I can’t glance out my window and see the French Alps across the lake.  I’ve realized that my default foreign language of French is no longer helpful.  I’ve realized that all the customs that shocked me at the beginning are ones that I’ve grown to love. I’ve realized that I can’t just hop on a train with my half-pass and voie 7 and travel to basically any country in Europe.
