Switzerland
Train rolls past mountains, you try to take a photo but your phone dies. Popular things to do or visit in Switzerland include standing in a queue for fondue, or maybe hiking until your socks become science experiments. Some say the best hotel in Switzerland serves breakfast at five, but I once met a man who overslept every time. There’s a clock somewhere, but it’s probably more punctual than you.

People talk about Switzerland like it’s just mountains and banks, but once, in a tiny village, I saw a cow wearing a hat. True story, or close enough. When you look for the best hotel in Switzerland, you might end up in a place where the shower sings to you (or maybe that was just the pipes). Anyway, chocolate shops are everywhere, and if you drop a truffle, five people will help pick it up—maybe even a dog.
Travel destination popular things to do or visit: trying to pronounce 'Grindelwald' without getting funny looks, taking a train that climbs so steep you think it’s an escalator with ambition, and finding out that raclette is not a sport but a meal. Oh, and don’t forget to bring extra socks, because the lakes have a way of inviting you for surprise swims. One time I thought I found the border, but it was just a fence for goats. Long story, but the goats were unimpressed. Switzerland keeps its secrets, but if you stay long enough, you might learn how to yodel 'hello'—or at least 'help, I’m lost'.
