The Berner Oberland is one of the most visited areas in Switzerland and with good reason. It's home to the famous mountains of Jungfrau, Eiger and Mönch. This area is blessed with one of kind natural beauty of snow capped mountains, bright green meadows, serene rivers and countless breathtaking hiking trails.

Arriving into Interlaken from Zurich I'm immediately taken in by the majestic beauty of the mountains, which were framed by the deepest blue skies I'd ever seen. I could feel the goosebumps rise on my skin and I'm only in the train station.

Zurich (along with Geneva) tops the list of the world's most expensive cities according to a UBS study in 2015. It's more expensive than New York, London and Tokyo. This isn't a city that's welcoming to visitors on a budget.

Zurich, I would like to introduce myself. I'm a newly unemployed IT Manager who (formerly used to the finer things in life) is on said tight budget. I have taken it upon myself to spend two days and nights in your beautiful city and I only plan to spend $100 .... total!
