If like us, you rent a car to go around the island, there is one rather unpleasant thing you will do regularly: buy fuel. There isn’thing very complicated but here are some points to know to make your stay easier. What type of fuel? In Iceland, there is petrol (SP 95) or diesel.

[Test & Reviews] The Best Face Care & Spas in Lisbon (Portugal)
Today, I bring you to discover the best facials & spas (which I have personally tested) in Lisbon. To know that they are the best in the city, I simply trusted the hundreds of reviews left here and there on the Internet and tested them myself 😀 Why is it interesting to do a facial in Lisbon? (or in Portugal in general) ? Because the same treatment, of the same quality, would have cost +50% or even twice as much in France. You can therefore treat yourself to luxury treatments without (too) breaking your PEL. Note: for those of you traveling around the world of spas, I have written similar…

Practical guide of Lisbon (Portugal)
We have just spent a month in Lisbon and we really liked this beautiful sunny city with its crazy charm. I know that there are already a lot of practical guides about Lisbon, but I am writing you a guide to my liking. Abstract The city center is quite small and public transportation is numerous, I think that 3 full days will be enough to explore the places without hurrying: 1 day to Lisbon, 1 day to Belém + beach, and 1 day to Sintra Download the CityMapper application for all your travels in Lisbon. It’s a city of hills and cobblestone streets, so quickly forget about strollers, pumps and…

How to surf faster when you have a rotten connection? (With uBlock Origin, ScriptSafe, Pi-hole and TripMode)
In France (in big cities anyway), we are used to having a fast connection (long live fiber optics!), unlimited and cheap (thanks Free!). Travelling all over the world, we realize that it is far from being the same in every country. Even if Wi-Fi has become a convenience, it isn’t always unlimited, it is rarely fast and it can be expensive 🙂 As digital nomads working on the internet, we can work (almost) anywhere in the world but we avoid : Countries at war (that’s why Syria isn’t on the program for example). Countries where the connection speed is too low (that’s why we removed Laos from our itinerary for…

Cashmere for Women: Comparative Uniqlo, Monoprix, Eric Bompard, Galeries Lafayette, Kujten, Caroll
Being cold and not supporting too heavy clothes, it’s natural that my attention is focused on cashmere sweaters. Why did I buy so many? because I gave / offered i didn’t buy them all at once, but over several years i confess that I am not someone who takes care of his business. I consider objects to be just objects and I prefer to spend my time taking care of myself and my loved ones rather than hand washing a sweater. That’s why I have “killed” a number of sweaters and telephones I buy all my sweaters during the sales, otherwise it’s much too expensive. Eric Bompard cashmere sweater It’s…

Digital Nomad: Assessment after 2.5 months in Morocco (Marrakech, Essaouira, Sahara Desert)
We just spent 2.5 months in Morocco! It’s the first time we’ve stayed so long in one country (since our departure around the world in June 2016). A small assessment is necessary. Why Morocco? Digital nomads often choose to flee the winter, because they can choose their destination and few people like the greyness and cold There aren’t many destinations where you can spend the winter in warmth, without breaking the bank. Between Asia and North Africa, the choice was very easy for me. I can no longer stand pollution in Asia, my skin suffers from it, and to find a more or less human face, I have to go…
