A One-Day Adventure
''Without knowing what was to come, I agreed to accompany a friend on a day trip to the biggest ice cave in the world. The cave was very interesting, but as you can see from this picture at the entrance of the Eisriesenwelt cave, what was really exceptional was the road to get there. A nice surprise."

Second place
Schönau am Königssee
"Living in a country with such a rich history can play many tricks on your mind, knowing that where you walk, history was forever altered. While studying abroad, it can become easy to get caught up in the fast-paced lifestyle, but views like this can make you calm down for a moment and really appreciate the here and now. It is an exceptional experience to see how far this country has come and extraordinary to see how much it has changed me.''

Ariel's Castle
''Between the swans, the castles and the mountains, Switzerland is undoubtedly a magical country. It was Chillon Castle itself that inspired the creators of The Little Mermaid. Given the cold temperature of Lake Léman, we can understand why Ariel held on to her legs so much!"
Julia Krull - University of Geneva, Switzerland
