Review of our 6 months as Digital Nomads
Ohlala, time flies! It’s already been 6 months that we travel and work at the same time. I find that time passes much faster when we work (even part-time) than when we are 100% unemployed (like during the world tour).In 6 months, we put our suitcases in 6 countries, i.e. 1 month/country. It was too fast!I thinka month and a half per city and country, at least, will be much more reasonable. And then, we quickly understood that we don’t like big cities anymore (Bucharest for example, has finished us off) => in the future we will prefer nice small towns and avoid capitals if possible. Seville meets these criteria:…

Seville (Spain): the continuation of our adventure
I told you about our first days in Seville. The more I spend my time here, the more I love the city and Spain. The city is big enough to get lost in its small streets, but small enough to do everything on foot gastronomy We continue our gastronomic discovery. There are so many good tapas bars that we can’t get enough of them We finally discover the Antigua Abaceria tapas bar in San Lorenzo, recommended by our airbnb owner. The atmosphere is very local, there are always people, the decoration is from another time. We are placed in the kitchen so we see the cooks preparing the dishes and…

Horizontal black lines Toshiba Kira-102: how I got rid of them
If I don’t take particular care of my cameras and I’ve killed quite a few of them (by sitting on them, or dropping them regularly…), I’ve never had any case of dead pixels or horizontal black lines on my screens… until now – with my Toshiba Kira-102 (it’s the one on the left on the picture) I sincerely believe that my computer has a manufacturing defect in the first place. I bought it from Fnac in 2014 for its Core i7 capable of reading my 60,000-line Excel files – leaving my PEL in it: 1300€ at the time. After a week, the “right arrow” key detached itself from the keyboard.…

Seville (Spain): First impressions
After several months wandering around Europe, we realized that one month = one city was much too short. We decided to extend our stay, at least for Seville, from one month to a month and a half Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary How to get there? From the South of France, I naturally took the train to Marseille and then a low cost plane (Ryanair) to Seville. I don’t know if Ryanair’s conditions got milder or the people in the South were particularly nice, but I had no remarks about my hand luggage, which was a bit heavy From the plane, you can…

One month squatting in France: Travel diary
Due to a wedding we were invited to in Nantes, we decided to include France in our program, to see our relatives, friends, clients and fill our stomachs before leaving for other faraway places for a long period of time Nantes Nantes is the 1st stage of our mini tour de France. Because that’s where the wedding takes place. So we squatted in the nice apartment of Caro and Mathieu (and their cat) for a few days. They took us to see the famous elephant of Nantes, Pornic and Saint-Nazaire to see the coast and the construction of a huge cruise ship. And of course, we were tempted by oysters…

Bucharest (Romania): a rotten/unattractive/uninteresting city
Who says Romania says Transylvania, Dracula all that. I’ve always dreamed of going to Romania, ever since I read Bram Stoker’s novel 🙂 so it’s only natural that we finish our little tour of Central/Eastern Europe with Romania Because of a contract signed with a client requiring JB to make 4 presentations in Paris, we chose to set up in Bucharest so that we could make the round trip to Paris during the day. Looking back, I think it was a bad idea. This city isn’t representative of the real Romania. However, its central location still allowed us to spend a weekend in the mountains and another weekend by the…

My Dr. Hauschka Facial at Maison Hauschka in Paris
After being won over by the Dr. Hauschka Purifying Care Set, I took advantage of my stay in Paris to offer me and my sister the famous Dr. Hauschka Plenitude Care… at the Maison Dr. Hauschka. Well, Hauschka treatments can be done at any of the brand’s trained estheticians, but for a first treatment, I still prefer to go to the (official) institute – especially for the place, built in a responsible/feng shui manner, a real haven of peace nestled in a courtyard. The House of Dr. Hauschka is in the 9th near the Ledru Rollin subway station, it is a neighborhood that I know little but quite fancy, the…

South Eforie (Romania): Mud Bath, Black Sea and Techirghiol Salt Lake
Our stay in Romania is the ideal pretext for a long weekend by the Black Sea. Small precision: the water of the Black Sea is blue, its name would rather come from its high rate of hydrogen sulfide giving a blackening effect from a hundred meters deep In Romania, when we talk about the Black Sea, we think directly of Mamaia, a huge seaside resort. But we found a small pearl not far away, Eforie, known for its therapeutic treatments based on mud and very salty water from the Techirghiol lake Eforie is made up of two towns: Eforie Nord and Eforie Sud. Having found a cheap hotel with spa…

[The Return] Health check after the World Tour
Just after our return to Paris last May, we took our phones to call our doctors, osteopaths, dentists, chiropodists, … for a big check-up. Blood analysis One of our relatives, who is a doctor / naturopath, was kind enough to write us a prescription for a blood test without having to go through the general practitioner appointment box.So we went to the nearest lab with 2 A4 pages of things to analyze. The doctor there thought that we were at the end of life lol and asked us the why of the how of such a big check-up. He took several tubes of blood from me, it’s unbelievable! I didn’t…
