Travel Guide of Phong Nha – Ke Bang: What to visit, prices, budget, transportation, scooter…
We have just spent 4 WONDERFUL days in Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park. As the information about this park isn’t up to date (even in the tourist guides), because of the inflation in Vietnam and the tourist services in this area, here is MY guide, updated in March 2018 I STRONGLY recommend you to go there, even if you have to skip Ninh Binh or Hue’. Honestly, even as a Vietnamese and having travelled my country from North to South several times, Phong Nha remains one of my top destinations in Vietnam, which I will not tire of (just like Sa Pa, Da Lat and Hoi An) How…

Chiang Mai (Thailand): What to visit, Travel Travel Guide, Addresses & Tips
Unlike the southern islands of Thailand, Chiang Mai offers mountain scenery and a cuisine slightly different from the southern islands. Here is the list of our favorites and what to visit in the region To know For me, Chiang Mai is a starting point to other cities in Northern Thailand. The city is a bit polluted, not very pedestrian friendly (except in the evening). If you come all the way from Bangkok just to spend 2 days in the North, I tell you sincerely: it’s not worth it! Come to Chiang Mai if you plan to go then to Luang Prabang, or spend a few days in the surrounding cities…

Airport taxes: what are they? In addition to the price of the plane ticket invoiced by the airline company, there are…

I live with 77 objects: Contents of my Backpack Around the World (for Men)
Note: this is the content of my men’s backpack, for the content of Anh’s women’s backpack, it’s over here. When you go around the world, one of the constraints is the number of objects you take with you. The airlines limit the weight of our luggage (usually between 15 and 20 kg) and we have to fit everything in a bag. If it may seem difficult at first, this forced minimalism is finally a pleasure, almost a liberation. If I were to return to a more sedentary life, I would try to keep this philosophy as I think it contributes to my happiness. These first 6 months of experience show…

Everything in my (women’s) Backpack for the Round the World Tour – 26L + 10L – 7/8kg
I am often asked what I put in my bag to have only between 7 and 8kg of luggage. After 6 months of traveling and extreme temperatures (from 2 degrees in New Zealand to 42 degrees in Qatar), I finally have the ideal bag with exactly what I need, I stabilize between 7.3kg (when I wear the trail shoes on me) and 8kg (when I wear the sandals and leave the trail shoes in the bag). For the contents of JB’s man bag, it is here. Note: my everyday backpack can be stored in my main bag at any time. This is especially useful when there is a risk of…

Ticket Belt Review – Eagle Creek Secret Bag
Since I’ve been traveling, I’ve been using an Eagle Creek belt every day and I’m very happy with it.Here are these interesting features: It has no holes.

Fine for overstay in Thailand: what to do if you overstay your visa?
Even though we have been travelling around the world since 18, we can still make beginner’s mistakes. The visa exemption in Thailand allowing us to stay for one month, we had planned to stay from January 3rd to February 3rd. Either… 31 days. While the visa exemption is only 30 days. #fail Anh made a quick trip to Laos and back to see a friend, and she “reset the clock” and was again entitled to 30 days. So I was the only one concerned by this problem. Some warnings about the overstay While some tourists may think they have everything they need when traveling in Southeast Asia, be aware that…

When our company was created 4 years ago, it was a sideline activity in parallel with our salaried activities. It was then out of the question to manage the accounting myself. My logic: it’s going to take me a long time and I’ll end up making mistakes that will cost me more than calling in an expert. So I set out in search of the ideal accountant. In the midst of a “paperless” approach, I…
