The Pressure and Guilt felt during the World Tour
People think that a trip around the world is just a succession of good times, from beginning to end. This isn’t the case Of course, it’s much more fun than going from metro to work and back to sleep every day, but being on a world tour also means being confronted with new emotions, new situations, it can be stressful, tiring, annoying… In short, that’s life! Guilt I think that the feeling of guilt happens much more often than we think during the round-the-world trip The first guilt is linked to the number of flights one takes during a round-the-world trip. It’s very polluting, it’s bad for the planet. Very…

Some DIY projects for your world tour
DIY (do-it-yourself) is one of my great passions. It is naturally to DIY that I turn to when I can’t find what I want for the world tour; or when the things I want to buy are too expensive. Here are some projects for you if DIY is also your passion. Passport cover scarf When I first saw her here, I thought I needed one. But the price ($55) discouraged me a bit.

Around the World or Long Journey: An Opportunity to Konmarize Your Life
I’m not a fan of the Japanese art of living, but I can’t ignore the KonMari phenomenon, a storage method created by Marie Kondo, who shook the planet with her books translated into whatever language. So one night, having nothing to do (I have a lot of free time now), I pressed the “Express Buy” button on Amazon and the book The Magic of Storage came right away on my Kindle. After the (exciting) reading, I have only one regret: not having read it BEFORE I left on my trip around the world. Flashback: I left my job in mid-February 2016 to devote myself fully to the preparation of the…
