My opinion about Canva: Photo Editing for Blog & Social Networks
This article is NOT sponsored Today, I’m going to present you a free photo editing tool that I’ve been using for months. I’m very happy with it and think that everyone, especially bloggers/influencer, should know more about it because it’s so handy. As I am not artistically gifted in visuals, it is very hard for me to do photo montages properly. Even if you give me a free Photoshop license, I wouldn’t know what to do with it and I’m going to produce something ugly. But some articles require photo montages, or at least propose a more or less visual forward image. So I used PowerPoint (don’t laugh, it’s true),…

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…

Test & Reviews: AirPods 2 vs. 1 – Not that much difference
With the many conf calls and trips, I advised you to choose Airpods in my article “Computer Hardware for Digital Nomads“. I really appreciate these wireless headphones. Especially since with conf conf, I cook a lot more and I appreciate not having to carry wires everywhere. A few years ago, I gave you a review on the 1st generation Airpods here. After a few years of loyal service, its battery has become very bad and can only last about an hour (very insufficient to last until the end of a call). So I bought the 2nd generation Airpods. Airpods 2nd generation – The trap I recommend that you order online…

Impact of coronavirus on travel blog traffic
The coronavirus crisis is having enormous repercussions in a wide range of areas. The tourism sector is one of the most affected. At our very modest scale, we can measure it with this blog. This site is a rather classic personal travel blog, it is mainly distinguished by the volume of contents: as digital nomads we have the chance to travel permanently for 4 years. Quite quickly we got into the game by writing content on a very regular basis: it has become a great pleasure to keep memories and help the travel community. The blog will soon pass the 1000 article mark, usually very long (often more than 1000…

[story time] My family home in Hanoi in the 90’s
I never met my maternal great-grandfather, but I was told his story last year. He was born into a poor family in the country. At that time, every village had a teacher, called Ông đồ. Only wealthy families could send their children to the village teacher. My great-grandfather worked for this teacher and while tending the garden, he was able to listen to some classes. He was very intelligent and was able to assimilate the lessons himself and learn to write. When the teacher noticed, he gave him some private lessons for free. His resourcefulness was such that years later he was able to buy his first piece of land…
