When coworkers become a travel group
Last week, our company outing took us to Basel. And the city had plenty in store for us.After a leisurely walk, we refueled at the Basel Tattoo food court before taking our seats in a great spot: the stage was set for drums, bagpipes, goosebumps, and an impressive show.Friday continued at a somewhat more relaxed pace. At least at first:⛴️ Ferry ride🏙️ Tour of Basel🍽️ Lunch right by the Rhine🏊 Cooling off in the Rhine for the brave (Okay, it wasn’t actually that cold after all)Two days full of great conversations and lots of laughter. Because a strong team needs more than just shared goals. Sometimes it also needs drum rolls, great experiences, and a leap into the cold water. Thank you Didi for organizing and to everyone for this fantastic outing!
