How to get to Abu Simbel from Aswan? Practical guide Egypt
By bus There are 2 buses leaving Aswan for Abu Simbel: around 4am and around 7am. Contact your hotel directly. I have been given a rate around 250-300 pounds per person for the round trip . The 4h bus is taken by tourists. The 7h bus is taken by the locals (there are some who smoke inside) and our guide does not recommend it. The return is a few hours later, in the same day (in this case at 9 am for the bus which leaves at 4 am). It is possible, for those who want to sleep in Abu Simbel, to book a bus for the outward journey (around…

[Travel Guide] Monarch Butterflies in Sierra Chincua: Bus from Mexico City (CDMX, Mexico)
From CDMX (Ciudad de Mexico City), it is quite possible to get to the Monarch Butterfly Reserves by bus. Between December and March, millions of migrating monarch butterflies find refuge in Mexico. If you are there during this period, do not hesitate to make the trip. Organized tours can be very expensive (for almost the same program as us, an agency gave us a quote at 2600MXN/person including transportation & entrance fees, one night in a hotel – without food). With our independent program, you can get there for 1750MXN/person ALL INCLUDED (2 days, 1 night, departing from Mexico City). The reserves of monarch butterflies are numerous in the state…

Oaxaca (Mexico): What to do? What to visit in 4 or 6 days?
After the Yucatan Peninsula, we wanted to rest for a while in the Oaxaca region, before continuing to CDMX (Mexico City). The colonial Oaxaca city of Juárez was chosen as a base because not only is it pretty, but also we will have a decent Internet connection. As we are digital nomads, we stayed there for 1 month, but the program below can be done in 7 days, taking plenty of your time. There isn’t much information about Oaxaca de Juárez, so this article will serve as both a travel journal and a practical guide, so that you can enjoy Oaxaca as much as we do: How to get to…

A day in Hanoi (Vietnam) off the beaten track

So, here is the program that I was planning to organize in Ha Noi, off the beaten track:The idea is to discover the places frequented by the locals and not stay only around the 36 streets of the old neighborhood Morning Breakfast is very important for Vietnamese people. Instead of eating a Phở like all the other tourists, why not try other things. Vietnamese people…

Itinerary 19 days in Vietnam – North to Center: Ha Noi, Ha Long, Ha Giang, Phong Nha, Hue, Hoi An
Here is the program we have planned for the trip of a friend, who came to Vietnam for the first time. We chose to replace Sa Pa with Ha Giang, for a more authentic and wow experience. As Ha Long Bay is one of the priorities of his visit to Vietnam, we have chosen to incorporate a 3 day 2 night boat tour, allowing us to visit both Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, which is also less known and less frequented. Ha Noi being my hometown, I chose to come back to Ha Noi between 2 big excursions. It is the ideal place to recharge your batteries, because…

How to receive free SMS messages abroad? Telephone, Calls and Internet
This is a recurring question for people preparing a long trip abroad: how to continue to receive SMS? For people leaving for long months, the only need is often to be able to receive SMS messages from the bank to confirm a payment on the internet.
