Miami Beach (USA): Travel Diary, Part 1
Oyé oyé, it’s with an excellent mood that I start this travel diary on Miami Beach! I am in a good mood because unlike Canada, I don’t have to go to the dentist anymore, and when you are in a vacation place, sun, relax, fiesta like Miami Beach, with this blazing sun and this blue sky, it is impossible to get depressed. So Miami is a city big enough that you can’t do everything on foot. There are two parts Miami mainland and Miami Beach which is an island city, connected to mainland Miami via bridges. Therefore, it is by staying in Miami Beach that you have better access to…

A day on Bimini Island (Bahamas)
In 2015, when JB came to Miami (while I was squatting at a colleague’s house in Chicago), he barely had time to recover from jet lag, visiting Everglades & Key West, that he couldn’t set foot in the Bahamas. This time, we wanted to take revenge by spending 1 or 2 weeks in the Bahamas – before abandoning the idea as soon as we saw the price of the first ahahha hotel. So we decided to set foot in the Bahamas anyway (just to say we were there), spending one day on Bimini Island, the closest to Miami. Part 1: Travel Diary Tickets There is only one company that offers…

It is impossible to go to Miami without spending at least half a day in the Everglades. This is the must-see excursion in the area. Part 1: Travel Diary Part2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary I warn you, the place is very touristic and the organization is industrial. A car will pick us up around 9:30 am to take us to the center of Miami. We are transferred in a double-decker bus to go to one of the many places from where the boats called “air boats” leave, with two enormous propellers at the back. We have been warned of the Floridian “ferocious mosquitoes”, which spare no one, and…

CitiBike: the self-service bike rental service in Miami (USA)
In Miami and Miami Beach, CitiBike offers self-service bike rentals, a system similar to what Velib can offer in Paris for example. Cycling is really the ideal means of transportation to get around Miami Beach, a pedestrian and bicycle road runs along the beach from north to south and there are many bicycle paths on the other routes. It can be used in two ways: With a subscription, you will need to get a pass Without subscription, a credit card is sufficient CitiBike’s service is really great, there is a huge density of stations and it’s rare to make two blocks without seeing a station. The bikes are in very…

Passing immigration to the United States when you are a digital nomad
I have promised you an article on the famous immigration to the United States. It went very well for us in Washington DC even though 2 of the 5 people in line in front of us were brought to “interrogation” rooms by an immigration officer. On a FB group reserved for digital nomads, some (especially one person) had problems coming to the United States with a passport filled with stamps, showing that they are traveling permanently (1h30 of questions and answers). And speaking with the French people living in Canada, who during their trip were kept for an hour of interrogation at the border, we thought it was absolutely necessary…

Test & Review of the Digidom direct debit service
After discovering this article, Digidom kindly proposes to the readers of this article a 20% discount code on their services. You must contact them by e-mail (support AT digidom POINT pro) indicating that you come from the blog “around the world 5 continents”. For several years, I used the services of ABC Liv for the domiciliation of my company. In addition to the simple direct debit service, ABC Liv received and forwarded my mail. I was satisfied with the service but I was a little annoyed by their policy of automatically increasing the rate every year. The rate that was very competitive when the contract was signed was becoming less…

Transfer photos from your SD card to an iPad or iPhone using an adapter
Currently in Miami, we are about to leave for 15 days of road trip by car throughout Florida. We will never sleep two nights in a row in the same place and we didn’t see ourselves leaving all our computer equipment in the car for 15 days. We thus decided to leave it in a locker in Miami.
