Switzerland

There's no mystery why the Swiss Alps are world famous, and the locals are known for being kind and easygoing! This was my first time relying on international public transport. I had a near nervous breakdown the night before my trip just thinking about it. But the ferry rides across alpine lakes and the train journeys through magical mountains made me feel silly for ever doubting my choice. During my 2-month backpacking trip across Europe, I didn't miss a single train (although I did have to run to catch a few!). This is a country I definitely plan to revisit and explore more of!
