"Spicy cauliflower & carrot soup with coconut milk, toasted almond flakes and cilantro. I am having the best time in Switzerland and wish I could stay longer to explore this beautiful country: I walked thousands of steps, took countless photos to capture the beauty of Basel and Zurich, soaked up lots of sunshine and spent way too money. Going back home tonight with an empty wallet and a very happy heart. Thank you @aniahimsa, @roxx__b and @alina_bianca for making this trip extra special."
