    A Practical Guide to Kruger Park Self Drive Safari (South Africa)

    June 15, 2016 /

    We went to the Kruger Park in June 2016 (see our travel diary here). It is the best destination that we can choose to start our world tour. If it made you want to do the same (we highly recommend it), here is our guide & tips for the Kruger Park. Why choose the Kruger Park for your first safari? Because it is a park where you can enter by car and visit as you wish. No need for a guide, hence the cost is much cheaper than other safaris, and the park is very, very large. It is one of the largest wildlife reserves in Africa. Among the large…

    Layering Routine for a long trip around the world

    May 17, 2016 /

    Introduction (optional) Those who know me well know that I’m a bit obsessed with skin care (all because of my skin from ¨”@_!%). Since being trained by my (former client) Clarins (the “how to apply creams/serums correctly” pro) and finding myself on the Les BeautĂ©s Testent website, I have not only adhered to the Japanese layering but I have also bought the book by Japanese Chizu Saeki , Korean-American Charlotte Cho and a Hitachi Hada Cree, while I already have a Clarisonic and a light therapy machine (!!).

    Marseille (France): a very nice weekend

    April 4, 2016 /

The trip went well despite the cancellation of our trains due to the SNCF strike two days before. We were able to arrange to take another train with reserved seats. First day The AirBnb reserved by JB looks like an Ikea showroom, fully equipped for a pleasant stay in the heart of Marseille. The minimalist decoration only reminds us that we can live with very little. I discover the large windows & shutters of the South as well as a opposite to make StĂ©phane…
