Hi everyone:

I want to take a trip to Switzerland in the next year or two and I’m looking for some feedback on my budget and itinerary.

**Where am I coming from?** Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

**When do I plan to go?** Spring/summer

**Who am I bringing?** Just myself

**How long am I planning to stay?** 9 days with flights included

**What type of lodging do I prefer?** B&B, AirBNB, or hotels.

**Food?** I’ll probably eat somewhere nice once or twice. Other than that, I’m mostly going to be buying food from a grocery store.

**What do I want to do?** Bungee jumping off the Verzasca dam (dam jump from the 007 movie Goldeneye) and driving/biking/hiking the Furka Pass (from Goldfinger) are the two big activities. The aerial trams and trains look pretty cool too. Other than that, I’m mostly going to be exploring and sightseeing. Is there anything else in Switzerland that may interest me?

**Budget?** Would $5000 CAD including airfare and car rental be a realistic budget for what I have planned?

Thanks!

>Gary Illyes from Google said at the Google Search Live Deep Dive event yesterday that you don’t need to do GEO, LLMO or anything else to show up in Google AI Overviews, you just need to do normal SEO.

>Kenichi Suzuki was at the event and quoted Gary Illyes – he posted on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kenichisuzuki_searchcentrallive-scldd2025-activity-7353650657498681346-slRY/) \- “To get your content to appear in AI Overview, simply use normal SEO practices. You don’t need GEO, LLMO or anything else.” He also shared that photo above.

>Of course, to many of you it is obvious – as Glenn Gabe said on [X](https://x.com/glenngabe/status/1948008401348489522), “Yes, this is obvious for many, but glad he decided to say it.” Indeed.

So I am planning a two month ish trip to Mexico and Guatemala. I have booked my flight to arrive in Mexico beginning of October, I want to be in Oaxaca on the 31st of October for the beginning of Dia de los Muertos period. However I was planning to fly direct from Mexico to Guatemala first maybe just spending one day in CDMX when I arrive and then onto Guatemala for 2/3 weeks. If I went this way what’s the best route back to Oaxaca to arrive on 31st and continue my travels in Mexico. Or is there a better solution to organising this trip better? Thanks for advice in advance.

I promised i watch it but I couldn’t get what exact quant nor speed.
He said this was “compressed to 20% of the og model” so something like a q2.
Regarding speed it seems very very descent

Any experience with Amazon handmade over Etsy? So I was researching Etsy and came across Amazon, and was wondering if anyone has ever tried Amazon handmade. I will be making small batches of soy based wax candles that are naturally fragranced and will source raw materials from Alibaba International, with the exception of the fragrances. My entire selling point is that my candles do not disrupt hormone and the endocrine system, so my fragranes have to be 100% natural which I source locally. I was wondering if anyone has used handmade Amazon to sell homemade items and how does it compare to Etsy. I had never even heard of it before so I am really new to it. So what I do know is that sellers have to be approved unlike Etsy, and also there is a 15% commission fee which is a lot more than Etsy, which is about 9.5% plus $0.25 per sale. Plus Amazon has a subscription fee of like $40 bucks so not sure if it is worth it if you are not able to cover the monthly fee with enough sales. There are no listing costs though while Etsy has listing costs so maybe it evens out? Has anyone tried it before? The only advantage is that I will get access to Amazon’s large customer base and prime shipping which are obvious perks. Also maybe the serious onboarding results in sellers being vetted properly and that means there are onlyh serious sellers and quality available. I don’t have a lot of budget for ads, packaging etc, so if the platform is helping me sell I am willing to pay more for it, I just am not sure how effetive it will be.
