Traveling the Swiss Alps

Deutsch: Uinaschlucht, Schweizer Alpen English...Image via WikipediaWhether you are an avid skiier looking for the a new thrill or a summertime hiker looking for natural beauty, the Swiss Alps are on of the top destinations to visit. Here are a few top destinations within the Swiss Alps region so you can start planning your next visit.

Hang Gliding
There are very few locations that are suitable for hang gliding and the Swiss Alps are one of them. It doesn't matter if you are a pro or have no experience. It's an activity suitable for anyone, assuming you don't have an intense fear of heights!

Visit Dufourspitze 
The highest peak in the Swiss Alps is also one of the iconic images of the country. Visible from many locations and countries, this is certainly a sight worth seeing.

Guided Tours
Sometimes its best to let someone else do all the work for you. There are many guided tours available that make stops at all the big attractions around Switzerland, and there are many that are specific for skiing or hiking.

If you're actually starting to plan a trips for the Alps, you don't want to spend all your time in the hotel room. That's why I would recommend staying in hostels. If you're looking for a quality hostel in the heart of the Swiss Alps, I know a place called the Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof.  There are many cities to visit, including Berne, Lausanne, Lugano and Interlaken. I know of an Interlaken Hostel, but you will have to do your own research for hostels in other cities.

Do People Still Use Trash Compactors?

Image
Prior to the Industrial Revolution and into the 19th century there was very little trash in America. People found a way to reuse almost every scrap of waste. That changed when manufacturers began packaging goods to attract consumers. It wasn't long before “taking out the trash” became a chore no one was fond of doing. The invention of the trash compactor was a combination of several machines. One may say M.S. Wells started the trend in 1941 when he invented a machine used to crush oil cans. Two employees of the manufacturer Compackager designed machines more suitable for home and office use. Commercial trash compactors became an instant hit after their introduction. They are still frequently used by restaurants, hotels, medical facilities and other businesses that produce large amounts of waste. As with many appliances, the first compactors introduced for home use were considered a novelty. They were expensive and mostly available to the rich. They were bulky, noisy and s...

Selling Your Home the Right Way

Image
If you expect to sell a home in the near future, there are many things you can do before you put your home on the market to help get you the offers you want more quickly. From fixing up trouble spots to hiring a professional, you can get a better price by making your home more attractive to buyers. The first step to make your home more appealing is to make it look bigger and more attractive. Buyers are always in the "would I live here" mindset, and no one wants to live in a dirty, cluttered or old looking house. Unless it's a cool looking old house . The easiest way to make you home look bigger is to clean up the messes and general "stuff". Cleaner houses appear to be bigger for some reason. Also, having proper lighting always makes rooms appear larger, more attractive and more inviting.
