I Backpacked Solo Through Switzerland!

I'M BACK! In this vlog, I travel solo as a female backpacker throughout Switzerland to Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunnen. I hiked the swiss alps, celebrated swiss day, met new friends at my hostel, paraglided over the swiss mountains, visited the Trummelbach falls, saw the top of Schilthorn, hung out with some mountain goats, etc.

I've been backpacking throughout Europe for the past 4 weeks so it was super hard to find time to edit and get decent wifi. I'm sooo excited to finally share this video with you all! It was seriously such a dream and I love that I can finally share it!
with love,
elena

Facts about Trummelbach falls (they were lit):
- The world's only glacier waterfalls that are accessible underground by tunnels and paths. They alone carry the meltwater of the glaciers from the Jungfrau down to the valley - up to 20,000 liters of water per second. It's a UNESCO natural world heritage site!

it's so weird living in the alps and the watching these kind of videos from people who are from freaking california, like my dream vacation, hyping up the stuff i see on the daily, like actually puts things into perspective

[gwynkate]

THE LIFE I WANTED. I think, when you grow old, you're gonna look back and watch these videos and say, "YES. I made most of my life." And i think that's beautiful

[alejandroiglesias]

It’s so weird living in Switzerland and being used to it and then seeing people come here and experience it hahaha

[tanjaw]

Switzerland is easy to travel especially as a woman. Lucky you came on first of August. It‘s a good day to see typical Swiss tradition. I live in Lucerne, heaps of tourists too😁.

[dababy.]

I live in Ticino, Switzerland, and seeing this fills me with proudness for my country. Living here you don’t really realise how beautiful of a country Switzerland is. I would love to just go backpacking somewhere and discovering beautiful new places.

I‘m Swiss and it is amazing to see my country through the eyes of a visitor from abroad. Shows how much there is still to be discovered even for a native like me. You have got real skills in presenting and editing videos! This is much better than all those ads from tourism associations.

Btw, been to Cali in 1989. Wonderful place! Left SF just two months before the big earthquake!

Switzerland is probably the safest country for anyone- especially women- to travel alone

[mikak]

YES girl I’ve always wanted to travel alone but I’ve been to scared to. This gave me some inspo

[clayfada]

switzerland is good for a young female solo travel its very safe

[Lea-gxhz]

Oh I’m so happy you liked it! I live in Switzerland and you really made me cry! We all tend to forget how lucky we are and how much things there is just next to us.. Sometimes there is no need to take a plane to go on aventures! Thank you for sharing these moments, I’m now happy and very grateful to be alive which is an amazing way to start my day! Wish you the best! <3

[reginagioielli]

[lucyprideaux]

[taylorstrause]

holy crap. Switzerland is amazing. I'm amazed by how much beauty there is too see it, and a little overwhelmed cuz I just wanna see it all! I've only taken a day drip to Switzerland from Italy, but from what I've seen its beautiful and I would love to explore it more someday.

[swerky]

[amarhashem]

elena: here alone but I hope I meet some people!

[AmandaLumoss]

This inspires me so much to travel alone and not to be afraid of the loneliness. I feel like we are always imposed that we need to have company, and otherwise, we are gonna feel bad. Also, I'm loving the quality of the videos and the edit, YOU'RE AMAZING. Have a beautiful day :)

[tabeaalexandra]

It is so beautiful to see the countries I've lived in for all of my life suddenly from a whole other perspective. The way you are fascinated by the country let me see it in a new way for a few moments and I really got shivers down my spine. I love watching people being fascinated and just being purely happy, it is truly inspiring and beautiful!

[zoegralton]
