Travelers & Around the World: 10 Practical Tips
Even if I would have liked not to have had to make a separate article for female travelers (this would imply that men & women are treated the same way everywhere in the world), unfortunately this isn’t yet the case. Here are a few tips for women travelers, whether you are traveling alone or accompanied. You travel alone 1 / Prefer hostels to hotels There are many hostels with dormitories for women only. Not only will it be cheaper (especially when traveling alone), but you will feel safer and make friends more easily. Who knows, in the end, you may travel with a group of friends you meet on your…

Learn Italian to travel. My opinion about the methods Michel Thomas, MosaLingua (promo code inside) & Coffe Break Italian
this post is NOT sponsored Italian, along with Portuguese and Spanish… has always been on my list of languages to learn If I am really serious about learning Spanish (my goal is to become fluent in Spanish), I limit my knowledge of Portuguese and Italian to basic, tourist conversations (asking for directions, ordering in restaurants, buying a metro ticket etc.) – because we don’t spend much time in Italy, Portugal or Brazil As we spend 20 days in Turin, I started Italian a week before After my two articles on learning Spanish and Portuguese, I bring you the same methods for Italian: Michel Thomas, MosaLingua and CoffeeBreak Italian Michel Thomas:…

Chamonix – Mont Blanc (France): a summer at the foot of the Mont-Blanc
Since I learned that my red blood cells were at their best after 3 months in altitude in Bolivia and Peru, I decided to live in the mountains at least once a year. And since JB wants to try climbing Mont Blanc again, we decided to spend two weeks in Chamonix Mont-Blanc. JB will make the ascent with his friend Etienne, his brother Vincent and his cousin Diane (stories of their exploits here, here and here), I will stay at the “base camp”. Paris => ChamonixThe train trip is long with 2 changes. Everybody is in charge of hiking and mountain stuff. But at the end, the landscapes are superb.…

Chicago (United States): 2 weeks in Americans
Today, I am going to talk to you about my incredible stay in America at the end of 2015. Well, it’s a little dated, but since I didn’t have a blog at the time, I didn’t tell it anywhere. My 2 weeks in Chicago were so incredible that I have to talk about it here (in case my memory fails me one day). It’s never too late, is it? Why Chicago? At that time, I was working for a media agency belonging to a large international group, with offices all over the world. Every year there is a contest called “Live my Life” and the winners are sent for 2…

Our stay in Pays de la Loire (France): Part 3/3
Always accompanied by Rosalie <3 (the cat), we’re taking it easy in our airbnb at Trans sur Erdre, enjoying the garden and watching the series on Netflix. Rosalie likes to eat herbs a lot. I find the cat’s ability to recognize edible herbs (as well as their ability to identify a litter box) fascinating. It brings us a lot of purring and joy As for the garden, I take care of it superbly, and enjoy the tomatoes and raspberries in the garden. It pleases me to have a garden like this from time to time, but I don’t see myself taking care of it all year round, it’s a lot,…
