A Stranger Offered To Fly Us Around Switzerland
In today's episode, we'll tell you the story about how we went from skipping activities in Switzerland because they were outside of our budget to somehow flying with a stranger in a TINY airplane...FOR FREE!

When we made it to Interlaken in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, we never would have imagined what was going to happen next. The thing that happened inspired us to change a huge aspect of our approach to life.

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to drop out of university and live life full-time. We have been traveling the world for the past five years together (including our time before and in college). We're planning to visit every country in the world before we're 30! By the time of posting this video, we're both 24 :)
Switzerland was country #69/197🌍
We began our Switzerland trip in Zürich and then went on to visit Sargans, Liechtenstein, St. Moritz, Zermatt, Interlaken, Thun, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, Bern, Lucerne, and more. We had an amazing time in Switzerland and hope you'll enjoy watching our adventures from there!
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

GREAT work, guys (including the promised small trick with photoshop...) I'am thrilled! This video reflects 100% the joy and love to fly, we all share. And what a show-off for our wonderful Swiss- and Bernese Alps! But even more important, I'am very impressed and touched by your words about trusting a stranger, because I had bad experiences there myself (some years ago in Istanbul). So I'am am very proud, that Daniel an I found your trust. And as I already pointed out: this was one of the rare opportunities, were giving out a gift is as enjoyable and rewarding as receiving one. Seeing your faces throughout the event tells the whole story! Glad we did it and beeing able to store this souvenir for ever. bästa hälsningar till sverige och göteborg/jöterbory, - smile

15:10 The guy talking in the background is telling a funny story about someone who once absolutely wanted to see the Matterhorn, but due to bad weather conditions you couldn't see it and so the pilot flew by a similar mountain and told him that's the Matterhorn... 😂

I am a Swiss private pilot, having flown for over 40 years over and through the Alps, I NEVER tire of it, it is so breathtaking! So, I can imagine what it was for you experiencing that for the first time! So very glad you enjoyed my country. Next time, try getting on a ski-plane ride, that will LAND you on one of those glaciers you saw. It is the next level up!
Lovely guys! Made me proud to be swiss.
Amazing how kind people can be. I have found the Swiss to be very nice! Beautiful flight. I would suggest you put a flight around Denali in Alaska on your list…with the glacier landing! That was epic!
Switzerland is such a beautiful country. What a joy to see it from the air!
