  • Happy new week everybody, I hope you all had a wonderfull weekend.✨ . A little throwback to last summer in Florida, me doing what I love, reading & enjoying the sun. Although to be honest, this wonderful spot was ok for the 5 min photosession before it got too hot and I moved back to a more shaded area.🤷‍♀️ . I wish you a good week & stay safe.✨ . #summertime #tb #summervibes #happyweek #readingtime #instadaily #readersgonnaread #got #floridalife #traveltoexplore #sunshine #theemeraldheron #summertime #holidays #vacationmode
  • Summer in the city, at least that's what it feels like, although it's still May.☀️☀️🙈 . Do you have any special plans for this weekend? It's a long one in Switzerland due to Ascension. We are celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday today, finally seeing her, the first time in 2.5 months.🎂 . #citystroll #zurich #myswitzerland #swisstravel #visitzurich #traveltoexplore #cestovanie #theemeraldheron #swissblogger #travelswitzerland #destinationswitzerland #switzerland_vacations #switzerland_bestpix #switzerland_destinations
  • A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies✨ . Book stories: May blog post is up! This first instalment of a new series on my blog is including 3 book recommendations, a classic, a non-fiction and a contemporary stories collection. The latest was my very recent discovery and I already ordered more from the same author. Link in bio📚 . Have fun with the post & I hope you find some reading inspiration😘
  • City time 🌸🌼🌺 . Last Friday I paid a quick visit to the beautiful Zurich. I packed a book and hoped to find a nice spot to read & enjoy the change of scenery after staying mostly at home & in my neighbourhood during the last weeks. Turned out, perhaps due to the nice weather, that I wasn't the only one with such an idea. The city was pretty crowded and no bench free, which made my visit shorter than planed but enjoyable nevertheless.🚶🏻‍♀️ . Wish you all a wonderful week! 😘 . #citylife #zurich #myswitzerland #visitzurich #züri #theemeraldheron #swissblogger #travelblog #instacity #mycity #switzerland_vacations #lindenhof #zürich #switzerland #switzerlandwonderland #zurichlake
  • Swiss idyll 🌼🐄 . Cows are very typical for Switzerland hence the title to this picture taken the one time when we escaped our neighbourhood during the quarantine stay at home season. Not gonna lie to you, I'm more than ready to leave my beloved home again & see some different places and faces. Even if only from a distance😂 . How are you all holding up? 🦠 . #naturelover #hikingismytherapy #switzerlandwonderland #inlovewithswitzerland #myswitzerland #blickheimat #schweiz #heimat #wandern #nature #springhassprung #theemeraldheron #blumenwiese #flowers #fieldofflowers #dandelion #wanderlust #dreamnowtravellater #heimatliebe #beautifuldestinations #suisse #travelblogger #instadaily #cows
  • Dreaming of past travels & adventures quite often recently, for obvious reasons. While it doesn't seem like we will be going to a far destination any time soon, I hope for at least some trips within my home country. Because to be honest, Switzerland has so many beautiful cornes to offer. Like this one in Valais, which we visited last year in fall.🏔 . Happy weekend everybody.🌼 . #weekendvibes #traveler #naturephotography #iloveswitzerland #hikingadventures #hiking #switzerlandwonderland #myswitzerland #blickheimat #beautifuldestinations #dreamnowtravellater #memories #nendaz #mountains #mountainscape #schweiz #heimatliebe #amazingview #valais #valaiswallis #theemeraldheron #intothewild #familytime #familytrip #instatravel #travelgram
  • Childhood memories 🌼🌼🌼 . Last weekend during our hike we passed by so many blooming dandelion fields that I couldn't help but had to find out if I still remember how to make a dandelion crown. Once I picked the flowers my hands were moving automatically, as if it was only yesterday when I was a child and used to make a flower crown on the regular. It was so much fun and the fields looked so beautiful I had to take a picture.📸 . What was your favorite outdoor activity when you were a kid? 👧👦🏻 . #hiking #naturelover #swissnature #hikingadventures #flowerfields #switzerlandwonderland #childhoodmemories #flowercrown #instaflowers #outdoors #naturephotography #theemeraldheron #wanderlust #intothewild #besofnature #myswitzerland #swissalps #colorsofnature #colorsgram #travelblog
  • Traded balcony against the outdoors for once. Just the three of us, almost no other hikers, enjoying the blooming nature, charging batteries for more homeoffice, homeschooling and social distancing to come.🌼🌸🌺 . How did you spend the weekend? Did you get some fresh air & sunshine?☀️ . #naturelover #hikingismytherapy #switzerlandwonderland #inlovewithswitzerland #myswitzerland #blickheimat #schweiz #heimat #wandern #nature #springhassprung #theemeraldheron #blumenwiese #flowers #fieldofflowers #dandelion #wanderlust #dreamnowtravellater #heimatliebe #beautifuldestinations #suisse #travelblogger #instadaily
  • Expect nothing. ✨Appreciate everything.✨ . Last year today I was in Milano on a very short & very spontaneous trip. It was my first visit and I fell in love. It was crowded with tourists and I couldn't visit a museum which was on the top 3 of my things to see because it was closed that day. Nevermind, I told myself, Milano is so close to Zurich, the train ride is so convenient, I can go again next spring to see and discover the city a bit further. For obvious reasons this is not happening this spring and perhaps not even this year. As sad as the current situation is, one big learning for me is to appreciate everything instead of taking it for granted.🗺 . #travelmemories #milano #italy #ig_europa #ig_italy #lombardia #duomodimilano #traveltoexplore #nevernottraveling #reiselust #beautifuldestinations #instaquote #positivity #staysafe #staypositiv #theemeraldheron #instapic #architecture #photographer #citytrip #stayandwander #igersitalia #exploremore #bellaitalia
