DISASTER IN THE ALPS: My Swiss Day Trip Fell Apart and I loved it!

What was meant to be a smooth, one-day escape to the Swiss Alps…
quickly turned into a chaotic, rain-soaked test of patience.

🚉 Overcrowded trains
⏳ Unexpected delays
🌧️ Relentless rain
✅ And I loved it!

BUT HERE’S THE THING:
A few years ago, a day like this would’ve ruined everything for me.
I would’ve felt sorry for myself, given up, and come home!

But since my serious accident in Thailand, the lockdowns, and a full rethink of what matters…
I’ve completely changed how I see life—and travel.

Today reminded me that as long as I’m happy, nothing else really matters.
I didn’t get the video I set out to make… but I got one that feels more honest than ever.

This isn’t about the destination anymore.
It’s about the freedom to enjoy the chaos and laugh at the curveballs—especially when you’re doing it later in life.

Thanks for coming along with me.
