Introduction

This blog is a joint effort by team members Josh Petrick, Alanna Weber, Yelena Livits and Tiffany Cook.

We chose Switzerland as our place to study since team member Alanna Weber lived there for six months and our team all has Switzerland on their “bucket list” as a place to visit!

Switzerland, although small in size compared to its neighbors, has a rich cultural heritage and a storied history. What brings us to Switzerland is its heavily featured landscape and constantly changing climate. 

While Switzerland attracts countless visitors to its borders to see its many cultural offerings, we are excited as a team to spend this semester in virtual Switzerland as amateur geographers!
