In a world that is so well-connected, there are times when we feel like unplugging and just living in the moment while enjoying where we are without having to connect to the outside world.

We all need digital detox sometimes, but sometimes the need is overlooked because almost 80% of our life is spent through the world wide web. Whether it is for work, connecting with friends and family when you live overseas, or simply just the fact that you’re bored of your reality.

So in this post, some fellow bloggers and I are compiling a list of top-notch places to unplug and live in the moment. The places you can consider going for a digital detox, some spots that can give you a chance to disconnect just so you can reconnect better with your routines.

What You Could Get In Lugano For $10 – Some Affordable Tour Options in the Expensive Country

Leave a Comment / switzerland, tips, travel, what you could get in the city for $10 / By

When I started following football years ago, it was the first time I started getting some interests in foreign currency. Like, I never really cared about how much $1 USD in my local currency IDR before then.

Back in the days, I remember that the most expensive football player was Zinedine Zidane when he got transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid. Then, I still relied on that kind of information through tabloid as the internet was still pricey around that time.

But one thing that I knew back then, it was the fact that the Swiss currency, Swiss Franc or CHF, is slightly higher than USD. I mean, FIFA as the football federation itself has the headquarter based in Zurich. So it’s no brainer to find out about this back then.

Now, now… I’m not going to talk about Zurich, as I connected to Augusta from Mini Me Explorer, because on this week’s $10 series, we’re going to cover another city in Switzerland: Lugano.

Also back when I occasionally watched sports news on TV, I was familiar with the name of the city as it’s quite popular for the cycling grand prix.
