Small article which has as main interest to serve me as a reminder.Before I became a nomad, I used my cell phone very little, being behind my computer most of the time. I had a smartphone, like everyone else, but didn’t attach much importance to it.Since I’m nomadic, I’m outside much more often and need a better cell phone (I’m handicapped without Google Map).For a long time, I found it hard to accept paying a lot for a smartphone and ended up with cheap, slow phones with little memory space…I have a computer and an Apple tablet but for the phone, I still prefer an Android.After several failed attempts, here…

Inventory of the unforgettable experiences of our trips
Travelling means constantly accumulating new experiences. Some of them are extraordinary. Others are much simpler but are local, authentic and enjoyable experiences. In order not to forget these magical moments, here is a non-exhaustive list, in chronological order, of experiences that we wish to engrave in our memory forever. The vast majority of these experiences start in June 2016 when we start our world tour but a few are from our previous trips.

Test & review of the sento Minatoyu in Tokyo (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.We continue to explore the sentos near our Airbnb in Tokyo.This time we are testing the sento Minatoyu.As usual we take off our shoes and leave them in a locker (no room needed).No automatic machine, we buy our tickets at the counter: 460 yens, shampoo and soap are included in the price.A 100 yen coin is needed to close the lockers in the locker room.The sento is all clean, all modern but it is small, every square meter is exploited, we are in Tokyo 🙂In spite of a certain promiscuity, the sento Minatoyu is quite pleasant.It is…

Test & review of the sento Ginza-yu in Tokyo (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.The neighborhood sento closest to our airbnb is the first one I tested in Tokyo.As usual, we take off our shoes and put them in a locker before entering (no need for a locker room).Admission costs 460 yen to buy at the ATM (no cash machine).Little misunderstanding with the host lady when I explain to her that I want to buy a soap and shampoo by showing her the ones on her desk. I finally understand that they are available for free in the baths.We climb a few steps to reach the checkroom and then the baths.…
