Welcome!
Welcome to Square Lily Pad! My name is Karen. I live in Switzerland and love the outdoors and this website is simply a place to share what I love.
Every post on Square Lily Pad is based on my own personal experience. Be it hiking, biking, or visiting a museum, each post provides my personal account of what it was like along with detailed information about how I did it so that you can learn about how to do it too.
