Welcome to the Switzerland Travel Vlog! This trip was back in September of 2024, and we had the absolute best time exploring this beautiful country. This vlog highlights our 5-night, 4-day trip to Switzerland, covering areas including Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Luzern, Mt. Pilatus, Interlaken, Grindelwald, and more. I also got engaged on this trip and included some footage of the proposal in Wengen!!! I hope you all enjoy it!
