Last week Trey and I went to Switzerland on our honeymoon! I think it was the farthest away from home that either of us has ever been. And I think that was part of the appeal. Plus we wanted to hike in the Swiss Alps, eat some good food and just enjoy a little corner of Europe together. We both LOVED Switzerland and had the best time!We spent the first couple of days in Zurich. Such a beautiful city full of really kind people. We loved walking around Old Town, relaxing at the thermal bath & spa house and having the best meal of our lives at Wystube Isebähnli. Look them up if you're in the area. 🙂We spent most of our time in Engelberg, a small ski town. It was the last stop on our train ride. We stayed at the Ski Lodge. This was one of our very favorite hotels we've ever stayed in, so fantastic! The staff was super friendly, everything was decorated SO cool, breakfast was fantastic and the bar was super good with a really cool atmosphere. I really can't recommend it enough. Not to mention Engelberg was so cute, lots of breath-taking views with so many different areas to hike. The mountain hikes were absolutely unforgettable.Between the two of us I think we took a little over 600 photos. I took my Canon 60D and Trey took his Canon Rebel t2i. We also snapped lots of photos with our iPhones. I will TRY not to over share on the photos but we probably will have to post at least a few more… It was such an amazing trip, one that I will never forget. I really can't express enough how lucky I have felt during this season of my life. I'm one lucky lady. xo. Emma (and Trey)

Movenpick ice cream, so beautiful it makes your heart hurt, and cows with pink bells….. My favorite.
Your honeymoon adventure looks fantastic, Emma! Thanks for sharing some snapshots, I enjoyed the vicarious vacation while sipping some coffee this morning. Congratulations to you and Trey on your marriage! 🙂
Such lovely photos! Switzerland is a beautiful place – we’ve often gone skiing there 🙂 What a great idea for a honeymoon.

Oh looked like a wonderful trip and seriously loved that you used your own App to do editing on these photos!! 🙂
so beautiful! i’ve been to the zurich airport! ha. the closest i’ve been to switzerland. we were on our way to italy. looks like i should have stopped for a couple days!
Can’t wait to see more pictures! love to hear how you experienced Switzerland and what you liked/disliked/found fascinating/or strange 🙂
best wishes from Switzerland.
(this post was really a reminder to myself, how blessed and lucky I am to be Swiss and live in such a beautiful scenery)
This looks amazing, it’s made me want to go!!
You too are too cute!
Switzerland has always been a place i would like to visit. You look like you had such a wonderful time!!! x

watching your honeymoon pictures makes me realize how much i miss my home country! i’m looking forward to going back home soon :-)!
Oh, how I love “Schweiz”. I was there several times, but hey: easy for me as I live in Europe. 😉
You two look so cute together! And all your pictures are beautiful. All those food made me go hungry! 🙂
http://annescribblesanddoodles.blogspot.com/
That looks like a beautiful vacation indeed!
And it’s actually really funny to see such photos on your blog, because usually most of the photos show rather typical american places and stuff, while I’m quite used to the Switzerland scenery as I live in Germany and go there mostly at least once a year (or travel at least through in a southward direction) 🙂 It must have been as special for you as the US was for me when I traveled there (only once until now, sadly) or when I see your usual pictures!
You look so happy, keep it that way – I wish you all the best!
I’ve never thought about traveling to Switzerland, probably because it’s not too far away for me (I’m from Germany). But your snapshots look so amazing!
That last picture of the two of you is so sweet. Congratulations!

Wow, sounds like you had a fantastic time. Love that you chose to go somewhere that wasn’t a typical tropical island destination for your honeymoon. Switzerland is gorgeous, isn’t it? All that fresh air. Will definitely check out those places you recommended.

Oh my, what a wonderful place for a honeymoon! I went to Switzerland about 8 years ago… I’m definitely due to go back. It’s such a breathtaking place…
Please share more!! Beautiful photos!
OMG, I can’t believe you were here, in Switzerland !!
You might be the first blogger who came to visit our country, it’s so funny to see your pictures, I can’t believe it 😀
I really hope you enjoyed our mountains, that you tried the fondue and had some chocolate.
If I had meet you in the streets, I think I wouldn’t have believed it 😉
Cheers from Switzerland then !
Happy to hear that you had a great trip! I love Switzerland, I went there a couple of years ago, since I have a friend who lives in Zürich. It’s not that far from Denmark though 🙂
Looks a great break! Ps- I have your photo app and love it!

Unrelated, your haircut on the last pic looks like you’ve cut your hair short, and tbh, you would rock a “boyish” haircut…très Jean Seberg 😉

Aaw that’s an amazing destination for a honeymoon (I accidentally wrote hornymoon – oops :D)
I absolutely love the Alps. From our place it’s about an hour by car. We try and go as often as possible. Just being in the mountains makes me so happy, much happier than this big old city could make me ^^
Congratulations again and please do “over”share 🙂

Unbelievable! I follow your blog since quite a while and had to smile so much when I saw that you spended your honeymoon in Switzerland, where I live (Lucerne). I’m happy that you liked staying in my homecountry and hope we were good hosts 🙂
Love Véronique
Really nice, Looks like you had a great time! I’m English but living in Switzerland, and I fell so lucky to be in such a beautiful country! Actually I was in the Swiss Alps a few weeks ago as well, I hope you weren’t hit too badly by the terrible European summer that we seem to be having!
So glad you had a lovely time you guys! Congrats again, and for you first weeding anniversary maybe you could stop by Paris, and I’ll show you around! 😉

Awww very fun and romantic…. and perfect photo op to use the mountain doodle on the app hehe
I live in Zurich and it really is a strange but also nice feeling to know that you’ve been there. I mean i walk by the lake every day 🙂 Hope you had a blast, who knows, I may have seen you in the old city, but I sure didn’t recognize you both…Who would have thought that you choose Switzerland for your honeymoon 🙂
amazing!!!! Ryan and I have talked about going to Switzerland one day, and I really hope we do! He wants to do a long trip and see Germany/Austria/Belgium/Holland as well.
Looks like such a romantic getaway…. happy for you!!!

Oh how beautiful!! I’ve heard really wonderful things about Switzerland. Congrats!

I’ve wanted to visit Switzerland ever since I was a little girl! Heidi was one of my favorite movies. Thanks for sharing these charming honeymoon photos. Congratulations, again! 🙂
Awesome! I love Switzerland. Just stepping off the plane and taking a deep breath has me hooked any time (sounds like I’m always there – in my dreams!) What a wonderful way to start off married life. Lovely lovely photos – thanks for the recommendations too! You won’t hear me complaining about too many photos from Switzerland, keep them coming please! Congratulations! 🙂
Looks so nice! Just beautiful. The food looks delicious as well! Congrats to you two. xx

Hi,
I am an Australian living in Switzerland. I love your blog! It was fun to see my street in your pics. The picture of Lucy’s Bar is taken outside my building and Wystube Isebähnli is just a few doors down! So glad you had a lovely time!!
Congrats again, guys 🙂 Looks like you had a GREAT honeymoon! Those backdrops of the mountains? WOW. So beautiful. I’ve never even considered Switzerland but now I might!

Haha I’m doing an internship here in Switzerland close to Zurich and I love it so much, my time here is almost over but I don’t want to leave and plan on living here in the future.
I am happy you enjoyed your honeymoon and I can’t wait to see more pics, feel free to overshare tbh
Oh, what a special idea to come to Switzerland for honeymoon! I would never have thought about it… I’m swiss, living in Zürich and coming from Engelberg… I spend many holidays and weekends in Engelberg. So this post was very special fro me to read and it made me happy to hear that you liked it. Did you go to the “Härzlisee” at Brunni? The heart-shaped lake where you can walk around with naked feet and explore many different sensual adventures? Did you go to the “Rugghubel” mountain hut and had a sleepover there? This is magical… – And of course you went to Titlis and saw other Chinese couples in wedding dresses, yes? I’m eager to here more!

it’s so weird to think you were in my country only a few days ago! Engelberg is really beautiful, it looks (and sounds) like you had a great time 🙂 Next time you stop by, you should visit my home town Lucerne, it’s a little smaller than Zürich and right on the edge of the alps, with a beautiful lake and old wooden bridges.
So beautiful! You two are so lucky to be able to go to Switzerland for your honeymoon! Congrats!
Scheisse!! You have been in my city and you didn’t tell me!! I was ready to cook Italian food for you! Remember for the next time, 😉 Ale from Zürich
Congratulations! And glad you had a fabulous time on your honeymoon.
Wow! Stunning! Thank you for sharing these lovely photos from such an intimate time in your life. Cherish these times and be as present as possible – this is a season of your life that you’ll quite have again. And congrats to you and Trey! xx

fun to watch this because i am from switzerland.
Hello! I love the app but the latest update free have some products that I had bought earlier. Does not seem right to pay before and now come standard free. I feel cheated
How fun! I loved Switzerland, but forgot how much!! I definitely need to go back.
Before this post, I can honestly say that I never would have thought that Switzerland was a place I should put on my “travel to” list. Now it definitely is! Simple, beautiful photos. I’m in love.
It ia amazing to discover that you were in my city! 🙂 I wish I crossed you! Next time You or Emma come by, let me invite you in my place! Xo ale
I was positively flabbergasted to read about your recent honey moon trip as I live in Zurich, but I am originally from Engelberg (my great grand mother’s house is just a few meters from the Ski Lodge you mentioned)!! I follow your inspiring and heart-warming blog for a long time now and think it’s very peculiar that you chose to visit all the places I know so well 🙂
Keep ut the good work!
