Repositioning Cruises: Sample Prices
If you enjoy traveling on the “giants of the seas” that are cruise ships, a “secret” for cheap cruises is well guarded. If you are flexible on dates, repositioning cruises might interest you! Repositioning cruises are cruises that have the particularity of not having the same departure and arrival port. These repositioning cruises are usually linked to the fact that the ship changes continent to adapt to the seasons. Mediterranean cruises are not very popular in the middle of winter, for example, while the weather is nice in South America at the same time. Some legs of these repositioning cruises can be difficult for cruise lines to sell. Rather than…

Cruise: How to choose your cabin wisely?
We are in the middle of booking our next cruise! In October 2023, I will be fulfilling another one of my dreams: taking a transatlantic cruise. We will depart from Barcelona and arrive in Florida 15 days later. This is the second time we will travel on a “giant of the seas” after our cruise through the fjords with MSC in August 2014. In a completely different style, we also took a cruise on the Nile.. So the question of choosing a cabin for these two weeks of cruising arises. Let me share some food for thought. We are going with the company Royal Caribbean. There might be a few…

Round-the-world travel insurance: how much it costs in 2026
When planning a round-the-world trip, you shouldn’t overlook the insurance budget. Let’s see why insurance is a must-have, with a comparison of the different options available. Why get insured on a round-the-world trip? There are countless insurance policies that offer to cover your expenses in case of flight delays, lost luggage, theft, or a broken phone, … While these events are unfortunate, they’re manageable. I tend not to pay for insurance for that. What you need to plan for is the worst-case scenario: you crash a scooter in Bali and need emergency surgery or a medical evacuation. In many cases, that’ll run you tens of thousands of euros. And in…

How can I tell if I have a credit card or a debit card?
If you need a credit card, I recommend the American Express Air France Gold card. It’s 100% free for the first year, and you’ll get rental car insurance and cashback on every purchase you make with the card. To learn more and get a referral link, read my dedicated article.. In France, the credit card is the most widely used payment method. However, this is a misuse of language, as you need to distinguish between credit card and debit card. Without going into too much detail, debit cards are those that directly deduct money from your account, while credit cards are those that charge you later (e.g., at the beginning…

What visa do you need for a holiday in Bali (Indonesia) and how to extend it?
Are you planning a trip to Bali? – Plan to buy a SIM card to have internet access – Book your activities in advance with Civitatis – Protect yourself with insurance that offers good coverage.

Upon arriving in Indonesia, you’ll…

Review of the Fortuneo Fosfo card (+ referral offer)
Looking for a referral code for Fortuneo? You can use this one: 13021400 It’s valid for the Fosfo card (€50 offered), the Gold CB card (€130 offered), the Bourse (€130 offered), and the Assurance Vie (€130 offered) When you travel for a long time, the question of which payment methods to bring along comes up. For me, ideally you should leave with 3 different bank cards: A Visa bank card A Mastercard bank card A ‘real’ credit card (required to rent a car in some countries) And for each of these cards, if possible choose one that is free and doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees. Fortuneo is rarely mentioned in…

My Review of Action Visas
As a French citizen, we are incredibly lucky to hold an exceptional passport that grants entry to many countries without needing to apply for a visa in advance. In over 5 years of constant travel, we’ve only had to apply for visas a handful of times (India , and Myanmar for instance). Each time, we handled the online procedures ourselves. As the spouse of a Vietnamese citizen, I’m eligible to apply for a 5-year visa exemption. To get it, you must visit the Vietnamese embassy in Paris in person. Since we’re pressed for time and Anh knows how tricky these procedures can be, we weren’t thrilled about doing it ourselves.…

[Covid] How We Got the CoE (Certificate of Entry) for Thailand + 45-Day Visa Exemption
We managed to get the CoE for Thailand in two working days, without going through an agency. I think we’re already paying enough for quarantine, no need to shell out extra for an agency. It’s very easy and quick, you just need to understand English and have a fairly well-stuffed wallet (we estimate €1600/person in expenses before even setting foot on Thai soil). Note, we’re showing you the process for those who decide to do quarantine in Bangkok. If you opt for the Phuket Sandbox, there’s another article hereSoon there won’t be any quarantine in Bangkok, so keep an eye out because things change fast! Should you opt for a…
