Omg! I was just worrying about this bit - going in May And this video comes along! Extremely helpful - thank you so much guys 🙏🏽

Thanks guys!! I always buy the sun protection and shower gel in Switzerland. In that way i keep more space for other stuff.

Congrats on your new home

Spot on recommendations as usual! Thanks for the tip about Breezeo laundry sheets--had never heard of them until you mentioned them last year. Took them on my month long trip last September and LOVED them. They did a great job of cleaning our clothes, both in the washing machines when we had them and in the sink in hotels. I'm down to just two pair of shoes on a trip. My Oboz for walking/hiking/rainy days and very good walking sandal for summer. I will be taking my first winter trip to Switzerland this year and will switch out my shoes for that, of course! I took advantage of winter sales and purchased several pair of merino wool socks (hiking and dress) for the upcoming December trip--I've tested them out and they're wonderful! One more thing--as Jana & Brett suggested, a good waterproof raincoat (and I'll add waterproof walking shoes) are worth their weight in gold. The raincoat is indeed, multi purpose.

I love Switzerland. I lived in Riva San Vitale for 4 months when studying abroad almost 20 years ago and still miss it.

You guys provide good information and sweet couple

So excited! I’m going with my wife in April! We purchased your 7 day guide to help with our planning in the jungfrau region! (Sad so many things are closed when we visit 😣) We are coming in from Paris, what would you guys recommend the best route to arrive in Interlaken? Train? Plane? Thank you for all your great content!

Was Brett at Velo Cafe today around 4pm? We’re pretty sure it was him but didn’t want to talk to a random stranger if it wasn’t 😅 if so, we wanted to say “Hallo!” you’re videos have been super helpful for us when planning our trip to Switzerland!!

Any downsides to using a 40-55L backpack instead of a carry on suitcase? Thought being it would be easier to carry from destination to destination, instead of dragging a suitcase around. Trying to consider train theft as well and ease of securing. Thank you!

Enjoying your guys videos before my own trip to the alps. Few questions if you get a chance to read I appreciate it. I have the away bigger carry on, have you had any problem with the smaller plans not being able to fit in overhead bin? For ex a city hopper cdg to zrh. Would the away bigger carry on plus a 30L backpack be enough for about 12 days through the alps? I am going in the first two weeks of September. Primarily going to be hiking, is a down sweater or bigger jacket necessary or is a fleece sufficient?

I’m planning out a trip for next year when’s the best time to travel? I want to see all the greenery but want to also experience the days leading up to Christmas since it’s such a vibe. Maybe snow a little please let me know the best month and day

What size suitcase do you recommend for Swiss trains? I know we have to carry them ourselves, but am also concerned about space on the trains.

Hi there. I love your packing tips. I am taking many notes. We are planning our month long stay in Switzerland. I have been trying to find an Air BnB. In one of you videos you got a 39% discount for booking for 30 days. I haven't been able to find a host that offers that type of discount. Do you know if AirBnb still does this? Thanks do much.

Some great advice here, and I really must look at packing cubes! When I worked at Kuoni, SBB used to provide a service where your luggage would be taken straight off the plane and taken directly to your hotel (usually a few hours after you got there) - it would then be taken the morning of the departure and it would be in the hold of your plane. Does this service still happen? It was a lifesaver with my aunt!

I may have missed it. But do we need a type j plug adapter? For charging phones, power banks and cameras? I know my trip to the UK, my adapter was useless because USB ports were literally everywhere. Is this the same in Switzerland?

when you say summer, does that mean from june to august ? i am going to switzerland on june1st, can i follow the summer guidence ?

Hello, is it good to visit Switzerland on middle of may ?

What is the travel duration for your packing list?

Hi Jana & Brett! I nessaged you on IG but you did not respond. Do you prefer youtube? Thanks!
