1
Switzerland is perfect.
2
From having the cleanest water to the most unbelievable landscapes.
3
Switzerland is a real-life fairy tale.
4
It's constantly at the top of the list for having the country with the highest quality of life,
5
but also the top of the list for the most expensive.
6
On top of all this,
7
Switzerland is a neutral country.
8
They don't pick sides in wars and they remain peaceful by any means necessary.
9
Even if that means they have to blow up a bridge.
10
After traveling this magical country for the past week,
11
I wanted to share with you all what traveling the most perfect country on the planet is like.
12
Well, hello guys from the wonderful land of Switzerland.
13
So for the next week,
14
we're going to be traveling around Switzerland.
15
And I am so excited.
16
The only one thing that I'm not excited about is how expensive this country is.
17
The beauty really does come with a price.
18
Like this rental car right here was the cheapest rental car that they had,
19
and it is still $180 per day.
20
Also, we have not slept in over 36 hours now,
21
since we flew in from New York City to here to Switzerland,
22
and now we are going to be road tripping for the next couple hours all the way down to Interlochen,
23
where we're going to explore some lakes and some mountains
24
and valleys and do all these adventurous activities that Switzerland has to offer.
25
So starting right now, let the adventure begin.
26
Give me a woo!
27
Woo woo!
28
I can't do it.
29
Here we go!
30
Woo!
31
Woo!
32
We're going to turn it down and fly away.
33
Quick stop in Luzerne to get some chocolate.
34
Swiss chocolate.
35
Chocolate secured.
36
Going on a Switzerland road trip should be on everyone's bucket list.
37
Every little town
38
that you drive through just feels like an enchanted village We
39
just made a quick stop in this town called Brienz
40
and it is just so cool exploring Walking around seeing restaurants that are almost older than America.
41
Oh and also Supposedly the most beautiful streets in all of Europe
42
So this street has been voted the most beautiful street in all of Europe with every street,
43
not only in Brienz, but in all Switzerland.
44
I don't know how they do it.
45
It's just perfect.
46
I've seen so many photos of Switzerland where I just figured
47
that they photoshopped and lightroomed the water to look more turquoise than it actually was.
48
But coming here now to Brienz,
49
I believe this is even the Brienz Lake,
50
where the water is really that blue.
51
confirming the blue-ass water.
52
And we learned that it is from the snow melting from the glaciers
53
and the minerals from that and on the rocks just come here to the lake and give it this incredible turquoise blue.
54
Speaking of clean water, Switzerland has the cleanest water on the planet.
55
Where you can just drink from these random fountains around the country.
56
It's really good!
57
One of the great things about adventuring around Switzerland is that everywhere you go,
58
you have these fountains with super fresh water.
59
And to make that even better,
60
always have to throw in some liquid IV.
61
So liquid IV is a must-have when going on adventures.
62
Each packet is bursting with fresh,
63
natural flavors and it tastes delicious.
64
This new strawberry hydration multiplier is definitely my favorite.
65
It has more vitamin C than an orange and as much potassium as a banana,
66
helping you stay hydrated and energized in a great tasting way.
67
Also, I highly recommend it as a hangover cure.
68
If you want to try Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier,
69
you can use my code in the description for 25% off their entire site.
70
If you are going on an adventure and need a lot of energy,
71
I do highly recommend Liquid IV since it is also super delicious.
72
So far we've learned one thing about Switzerland, that Ausfahrt means exit.
73
You're gonna be fluent in German in no time.
74
Ausfahrt.
75
Ausfahrt.
76
Aus...fart.
77
Good morning guys from the beautiful Interlaken, Switzerland.
78
After our super long travel day yesterday,
79
we made it here at around 10pm and just passed out like a ton of bricks.
80
But there's nothing like waking up in a new place and just being amazed by all the incredible sights.
81
Especially from your hotel window.
82
And before we do get on with our action packed day,
83
I did want to show you guys what $300 the night gets you here in Interlochen, Switzerland.
84
Check this out.
85
Yep, that's it.
86
So today we are checking off a bucket list item.
87
We are heading to the top of Europe.
88
It is the highest point in the continent where you have
89
to take a 45-minute tram ride all the way to the top,
90
But you do get incredible views like this.
91
And highly recommend if you are doing this,
92
grab a Lindt mocha where it's a cappuccino with a fountain of Lindt chocolate that they put in it.
93
Alright, well we are officially the highest people in all of Europe.
94
Hayley, do you feel high?
95
I am super high right now.
96
Now honestly, do you feel the altitude?
97
I feel the altitude.
98
I guess I'm a little used to it now.
99
We've been up here for like five minutes.
100
But when we first got up here,
101
it was like a little woozy.
102
Yeah, I can definitely feel that we are pretty high.
103
I think right now we are about 11,000 feet.
104
So we are able to just overlook all of the Alps the Alps
105
and get these incredible views of the top of the mountains of Switzerland.
106
So next up we are heading to the Ice Palace.
107
I believe we go inside of a glacier just into freezing ice-cold rock.
108
We definitely did not dress properly for this.
109
We are just in a little sweater.
110
Haley has this super thin cardigan on and and we are about to freeze.
111
It's probably zero degrees Celsius right now.
112
This is literally ice right here.
113
It's so cold.
114
This is so cool though.
115
Literally so cool.
116
Hailey, I got 100 Swiss franc if you lick it.
117
100 Swiss franc.
118
Take me promise.
119
Hopefully your tongue doesn't get stuck to it like in that movie Stuck,
120
stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck Are you serious?
121
Imagine Hi!
122
This is so funny!
123
It's starting to feel a little claustrophobic.
124
Oh my gosh.
125
This is insane!
126
Wow.
127
Hey Hailey!
128
Hailey, we're not gonna let you do this.
129
At least you hit me.
130
The first one she threw off camera,
131
she hit the woman behind me.
132
She doesn't have that good of aim.
133
You move.
134
So now I wanted to show you guys what a dinner out here in Switzerland can cost you.
135
So we came here tonight to the top of the Met,
136
which haven't tried the food yet,
137
but these views are just miraculous.
138
This whole entire country just looks like one giant amusement park.
139
We have the church bells going right now.
140
There's trains going around.
141
Everything is just picture-perfect But now we're gonna see what we get here for dinner.
142
Hailey made us get the cheese fondue,
143
so Hopefully this is gonna be worth it.
144
I think it's like 65 bucks, so better be good.
145
I'm coming for you Hailey Hailey.
146
So cheese fondue, for the first time ever having it,
147
that was pretty darn delicious.
148
Hailey, with food you never steer me wrong.
149
I don't.
150
But with my wallet, sometimes yes.
151
So the total meal for the two of us,
152
with just getting one cheese fondue and a couple glasses of wine,
153
came out to around 120 USD.
154
But surprisingly, wine, as I guess in Europe,
155
is a lot cheaper than in America,
156
with only about $5 a glass.
157
So it's just that cheese fondue that really did us dirty like that.
158
I'd still say totally worth it though.
159
It was something to do.
160
It was an experience.
161
And it was delicious.
162
It was.
163
Like it really was.
164
It really was.
165
Good call.
166
You're welcome.
167
After looking up why Switzerland is so expensive,
168
I learned how the average salary in the country is nearly $125,000.
169
With also having the highest minimum wage of $25 per hour.
170
On top of all this,
171
anything from Switzerland you can guarantee it will be top of the line quality.
172
Whether it's food, or watches,
173
or trains, the Swiss are magicians when it comes to engineering.
174
Guten Morgen from Grindelwald, Switzerland.
175
Today we have another very exciting action packed day where we
176
are taking the tram back up to a different mountain and then going to be trotty biking down.
177
It's kind of like these crazy little tricycles that we're literally going to be taking down the mountain.
178
I don't know how, but we're going to figure it out soon.
179
Now to get down the mountain,
180
there are three stages with the first being flying.
181
So now for the first part of the way down,
182
we're going to be flying.
183
This is insane!
184
Are you nervous?
185
Yes!
186
Yeah?
187
You can't see anything!
188
Oh my gosh!
189
There's nothing to expect, but unite together I just wanna stay until the morning sun Lay here forever,
190
but unite together I just wanna stay until the morning
191
sun I just wanna stay until the morning
192
sun I just wanna stay until the morning sun
193
My first day on earth You sang me a tune Forever won't be long enough with you
194
And I'll never let you go Guys,
195
the Swiss do not mess around I thought it was going to be kind of this rinky-dink little bike
196
That you wouldn't be able to go too fast on But boy,
197
was I wrong We were flying down the mountain.
198
It is so hard to break.
199
You're going so fast.
200
Also, you're going through these clouds where you can possibly fall off the side of the mountain.
201
Luckily, both of us are still alive and now celebrating with some Swiss beer.
202
Some traditional Swiss mixed with Sprite,
203
which I've never heard before.
204
I've never heard of this either,
205
but Hailey's not a big beer drinker,
206
So they recommended her to get a beer mixed with Sprite.
207
Never heard of it?
208
It's not bad.
209
Not bad.
210
I mean, you really have a sweet tooth.
211
So I feel like this is perfect for you.
212
I can't help with Sprite or beer.
213
It tastes like both in one drink.
214
Whoa.
215
Is it Sprite or beer?
216
Wow.
217
That's actually really good.
218
I thought it would taste funky,
219
but not a bad combination
220
So we made it safely down the mountain even though the roads were soaking wet
221
and we were going through the clouds It really did just add to our adventure
222
But we're back safely in Grindelwald and also had to make a quick stop Not a coffee cart,
223
but they got a coffee vending machine Switzerland really is a ahead of the game got a cappuccino.
224
It's like eight bucks
225
Some pretty good coffee So you guys saw what $300 a night gets you in Interlaken
226
But now we are just a couple miles away in a town called Lauterbrunnen which is much smaller and also much cheaper.
227
So when I was trying to find one of the cheaper hotels,
228
this is what we got.
229
We had no idea that we would have this balcony and this incredible view of the waterfall.
230
So I guess there are some deals out there in Switzerland.
231
Hard to find how to book this hotel last night,
232
but, you know, they're out there.
233
Switzerland really is just like one giant amusement park.
234
Today we skipped the coffees
235
and are getting a shot of Life Espresso since we're going
236
to be propelling off of a cliff into a canyon and then going to be canyoning around all of the Swiss mountains.
237
And yeah, we got the wetsuits on since it is pretty darn chilly up here.
238
A little afraid of how cold this this weather may be.
239
Let's do this.
240
Also wanted to give a huge shout out to Outdoor Interlaken for help making this trip so memorable.
241
Very memorable for this one since she is not looking forward to this cold.
242
We're suited up like we're like diving into Antarctica.
243
So this is what we're gonna be propelling down.
244
150 feet straight down.
245
and luckily Hailey's going first to test it out.
246
We need someone to test the rope, you know?
247
Yeah, she always makes for a great stunt dummy.
248
That's going to be you.
249
Just like that.
250
Well, we have to do that because I am going to film her with the camera
251
and then leave it in the car and then we'll pick it up at the end of our adventure.
252
But yeah, also makes for a great excuse to have Hailey go first.
253
You got this.
254
Let's go.
255
I do feel really bad making her go first
256
but oh well good luck Hailey Look at that Wow
257
that was incredible Get up here Oh!
258
Yes!
259
We are going to be running off a mountain and paragliding all the way down.
260
Haley, how are you feeling about this one?
261
I don't know.
262
I'm watching this guy land.
263
Haley's just been watching for the past five minutes quietly.
264
She ate it.
265
She ate it.
266
That's going to be you.
267
I'm not going to land nicely.
268
Are you nervous at all?
269
I don't know.
270
I think I'll be fine.
271
I know when I get up there,
272
I'm going to be backing out.
273
When he's like, all right, run off the cliff.
274
I am not letting you even if I have to throw you off that mountain Hailey.
275
We are just in this random backyard where we're going to be running down this mountain and hopefully be flying away.
276
Hailey is ready.
277
No, she's not.
278
She tried backing out in the van and then right now she's like a little scared.
279
A little?
280
How far down do you have to run?
281
Just don't trip.
282
If I trip, you're coming back to get me.
283
Alright, we're about to get harnessed up and fly away.
284
I'm so excited.
285
I'm so excited.
286
Let's do this.
287
Yes.
288
Woohoo!
289
Um, no, you're awesome.
290
Let's go!
291
Woohoo!
292
Oh my god!
293
I almost hit that tree!
294
Oh my god!
295
Woo!
296
That was amazing.
297
What did you think?
298
Are you glad you did it?
299
I was so glad.
300
You liked it?
301
Yeah.
302
Did you watch me flipping in the air?
303
I was...
304
After traveling Switzerland for the week,
305
I would still concur that this country is near perfect.

From the adventures to the landscapes,
307
this place looks straight out of a Disney movie.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
