Snowshoeing with the Swiss American Society of Luzern | 24 January 2026 Furenalp

I survived Palo Alto. Loved seeing Bronwyn, weirdly no photos. Loved seeing Lori and other colleagues. Long days, jet lag and weird food.

New Years Eve 2025! Rang in the new year with E&E. Lovely – we also had two other evenings with them. Firepit, hot toddies, chestnuts, sauna, three cold plunges, karaoke, dancing and cheers!


































Christmas in Brallo! Zaven joined us on Christmas Eve, we had a lot of snow on Christmas Day, loved the sauna and cold plunging – we worked up to doing a lap down and back. Jane joined us on the 27th. Outdoor fire, hikes in the snow, delicious vegan food and just so nice to spend time together.

Thanksgiving Week Vacation in Brallo The most perfect weather.
22-30 November 2025

Arrived to a bit of snow and an amazing sky. It was a lovely needed break for me. Daily cold plunge – trying to work up to more than dipping in and out a few times and actually doing a few strokes. After 5 days hadn’t succeeded. Will keep trying. It does invigorate me. Long walks with Lula. Cozy cozy fires. Naps. Decorating the villa. Puttering and knitting.

Sonoma Road Trip with Avalon

What an amazing road trip with Avalon. He picked me up at SFO, we drove to Petaluma, had amazing vegan/ gluten free food and wine. We visited Jack London state park. We stayed at Cottages on the River and had smores. Guerneville and Healdsburg. Wine tasting at Idlewild – met David Dutton, ex Google exec and vineyard owner, who brought the Italian variatals to California. Hiked around Armstrong Redwoods National Park. Went glamping, which was fabulous. Perfect as Av’s car is set up for road tripping and camping. Breakfast at Sonoma County Beach State Park and then San Francisco and back to SFO. So grateful to be able to spend time with Av.

Houston Talent Summit

Sauna Sunset Bar Luzern

In the winter they add little individual saunas to the Sunset Bar on Vierwaldstattersee. It was a cold and rainy day. Perfect for a sauna and cold plunging. 3 times and each time I cold stay in the water a bit longer. Hope to continue it through the reast of the winter.
