Switzerland is a place made for noticing.

The sound of cowbells drifting across an alpine meadow. A scrap of paper tucked into your pocket, with a scribbled note to yourself of something you want to remember later. Wildflowers beside a mountain path. The color of a shutter on an alpine chalet. A train ticket. A café napkin. A handwritten sign. The particular blue of a lake in the afternoon.

On this weeklong creative journey through Zurich, Mürren, and Lucerne, I invite you to Collect Switzerland—not simply by seeing it, but by gathering the small details, ordinary treasures, and fleeting moments that make a place unforgettable.

Throughout the week, you'll create your own vintage-inspired travel journal, a handmade record of your time in Switzerland filled with collage, sketches, photographs, found papers, ephemera, simple mixed-media techniques, and words gathered along the way.

 But this isn't about making a perfect travel journal.

It's about learning to travel with your eyes open.

I will share my own practice of Everyday Noticing and show you how to become a collector of place: noticing what catches your attention, gathering what feels worth keeping, and turning those small discoveries into pages that tell the story of where you've been.

Our days become our materials.

A train ticket might sit beside a sketch of the mountains. A pressed flower might share a page with something overheard at breakfast. A chocolate wrapper, a postage stamp, a scrap of beautiful packaging, a photograph, a handwritten list, a few words about the sound of cowbells outside your window—all become part of the record.

By the end of our week, you won't simply have a travel journal.

You'll have your Switzerland.

A one-of-a-kind collection of the things you noticed, gathered, made, and want to remember.
