Home Swiss Home…The Pepperdine Lausanne House

Well, I've been home for a while now, but being home in Vancouver has made me think  a lot about the place I once called home in Switzerland.  It's so quiet at home without my 70 Swiss brothers & sisters around & life is definitely not as exciting.  Although I love Vancouver more than anywhere else in the world, the Pepperdine Lausanne campus will always[...]

I thought I would share my first taste of Switzerland...the view from my room.  I guess you could say that we're starting off on the right foot. More Baubles & Bliss from la Suisse is on the way!
