The New Zealand Herald reported there were fears for the safety of Samantha Hawley, 27, who had not been heard from in a week until today while travelling in Switzerland.
Hawley had last contacted friends on March 11 and had not used social media since.
However, she has now made contact with her family and appears to have posted "I am safe" on social media.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said consular officials were aware a New Zealander had been reported missing in Switzerland.
Police had also received information about the missing New Zealand national.
Speaking to the Herald, a friend described Hawley as a “go-getter” who turned heads.
“She is a woman that dresses impeccably and sets a standard very high for herself and her kids.
“She is hard working and only wants the best for her kids. She worked pretty hard to get her kids into a private school in Christchurch," the friend told the Herald.
The friend said Hawley travelled to Zurich for a holiday on March 2.
