  • In January & February, when the world was still ok, I hold myself back from buying tulips as it felt too early. I wanted to wait till it's spring to enjoy them. While we still can go groceries shopping we can't buy flowers at the stores and it's only now that I realize how much I enjoy and miss them.🌷🌷🌷 . What do you miss the most right now❓ . #flowers #flowerstagram #tulips🌷#2020 #blogger #nature #theemeraldheron #naturelover #bestofnature #naturephotography #sunshine #happydays #missyou #missmylife #stayinghome #colorful #happyness #ig_flowers #mood #instadaily #switzerland #inlovewithswitzerland #goexplore #beautifulday #wanderlust #meineschweiz #heimat #sundayfunday
  • No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as the promontory were. As well as a manor of thy friend's. Or of thine own where. Any man's death diminishes me, because I'm involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee🏝 . This beautiful poem writen in 1624 by English writer John Donne inspired Ernest Hemingway to the title of his novel 'For whom the bell toll', which is regarded one of his best works. This poem comes to my mind often during the recent days as I keep realizing more and more how connected everything is. Picture is a #tb from Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places I ever been🌎 . Take care & stay safe😘 . #dailymotivation #memories #travelmemories #newzealand #traveltheworld #instabooks #traveler #swissblogger #lifestyleblogger #reiselust #island #islandlife #instamood #theemeraldheron #nzmustdo #travelnz #purenewzealand #wonderful_places #goexplore #instanature
  • Spring vibes🌸🌸🌸 . After I got a small spring pretaste in Paris I was so much looking forward to all the blooming magnolia & cherry trees in Zurich. The fact that I will not see them this year is only gonna make me enjoy them more next year. 💯 . #springvibes #paris #iloveparis #inlovewithspring #springinparis #magnolia #magnoliatree #blossoms #tbt #lavieestbelle #pictures #prettyparis #parisfrance #theemeraldheron #toureiffel #lifeisgood #ig_paris #photographylovers #visitparis #swissblogger #topofparis #reisetips #beautifuldestinations #travelgram
  • Out of 130 museums in Paris Musée de l'Orangerie is one of my favorite. Why? It's rather small hence not overwhelming. I love the calmness and the oval shape of the rooms. Mostly it's the 8 large oil-on-canavas murals by Claude Monet that fascinate me🖼 . The museum is one of the most popular photo spots frequented by locals & tourists. Find out more in my new blog post.

  • Hello beautiful 🇫🇷 . During my recent trip to Paris I visited few of the photo spots currently popular by tourists. This picture was taken at one of them and I think it's worth the visit. More insights to come in a blog post soon📆 . Here some facts about the Eiffel Tower, the most famous monument in the world📊 . 📍It was build between 1887-1889 (2 years, 2 months and 5 days of construction) for the 1889 World's fair to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French revolution 📍It is the most visited paid monument in the world, attracting as many as 7 million of visitors per year 📍It was originally build only for 20 years and was scheduled to get dismantled in 1909 (luckily that didn't happend!) 📍Every 7 years the Eiffel Tower gets freshly painted using about 60 tons of paint 📍As of today the hashtag #eiffeltower was used 6'264'300 times on instagram📊 . #myparisdiary #eiffeltower #toureiffel #sunsetphotography #sunsetlover #parissky #skyline #paris #parisfrance #ig_paris #parisobviously #inlovewithparis #parismonamour #traveltoexplore #topofeurope #visitparis #theemeraldheron #parissky #reiselust #history #architecture #parisgram #sky_brilliance #visitparis #parisstreetstyle #shotoniphone
  • Please have a seat🪑 . My first trip to Paris in winter was a win for many reasons. Firstly, Paris always feels like home away from home. Secondly, it wasn't wintery at all. It felt more like spring with the trees flowering and temperatures being mild enough to sit outside, which I did a lot😊 . #myparisdiaries #lavieestbelle #jardindestuileries #parisfrance #parisstyle #parisphotography #ig_paris #bestofparis #travelblogger #bonvoyage #theemeraldheron #traveltheworld #europe_pics #reiselust #frenchstyle #architecturephotography #sunsetphotography #parisviews #parisfashionweek #sunsetinparis #louvre #parisjetaime #parisobviously #sky_brilliance #sunsetlover #skyoverparis #foreverparis #instaparis #itssoparis

  • Yesterday's day trip to Mount Titlis was a win! Long train ride in the company of my 8 years old, passing beautiful landscapes, reading books. Arriving in Engelberg to this view. Visiting the snowy and cold Mount Titlis with many exciting attractions such as a glacier cave, a suspension bridge or a rotating cable car. All this while the sun was shining. I'm not going to lie, there have been 1 or 2 not so perfect moments😉 Which is ok, as it reminds me that even if life isn't as perfect as on instagram it is still pretty good.💁‍♀️ . Wish you all happy week😘 . #traveltoexplore #travelblogger #visitswitzerland #myswitzerland #blickheimat #bestofswitzerland #mounttitlis #engelberg #swissblogger #mountainslover #mountains #cablecar #travelwithkids #instagramable #instaplace #winter #switzerlandwonderland #inlovewithswitzerland #sbbcffffs #trainrides #daytrip #swissalps #swiss_views #theemeraldheron #exploreswitzerland #beautifuldestinations
