Hi! We’re Jana and Brett.

We help you travel Switzerland with confidence!

Maximize your travels | Minimize your planning time | Stretch your budget

If you’re anything like us, then you spent hours (and hours and hours) searching the internet for things like “How to travel Switzerland on a budget” or “Best places to visit in Italy” or “How to pack a carry-on.” 

We totally get it! Been there, done that.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO STOP SEARCHING AND START DOING.

We empower travelers just like you to
travel Switzerland with confidence, maximize your time, and minimize your budget.

That looks like staying longer while spending less money, and capitalizing on off-the-beaten path adventures along the way, and maybe making friends with a few locals too.

If you love traveling Switzerland, then you’re in the right place!

We don’t have any fancy titles or accolades, but we do love Europe — especially Switzerland and Italy!

  • We moved to Switzerland in 2023 and now live here full-time.
  • We’ve been to all 26 Swiss cantons.
  • Both of us were born in the USA, but we also have dual Italian citizenship.
  • We are learning high German and both speak basic Italian.
