Dental Care in Canada – How much it costs, How it works
Because of a badly treated cavity, I finally stayed in Montreal for two months – because the radio showed even more problems than I thought. Let me tell you about the care I received and the fees Why get treatment in Canada? Because I’m just there right now. But after the excellent care I received, I thought it was a good choice.

Here is some information to know about the AVE procedure.…

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…
