The Drive In experience, the outdoor cinema in the United States – Road trip in Florida #4
When we spent a day at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, we passed a restaurant that replicates the American Drive In experience: the famous open-air movie theaters where you can watch a screening while sitting in your own car The wait was too long for us to eat in this restaurant but it gave us the idea to try to live this typically American experience in a much more authentic way by going to a real drive-in The drive-in is a true symbol of the American way of life and in particular of their adoration for cars. These open-air cinemas had their heyday in the 1960s. They are gradually disappearing: there…

La Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca: How to get there, where to sleep, guide & tips
Updated September 2019 : Following an economic conflict between the Center and the North of the island, access to the North and Center was blocked / closed for more than a year and a half and tourists could only visit the southern part of Isla del Sol, among the Yumani who remained neutral during the conflict (I see many articles and comments spitting at the southerners, but they did nothing. Many negative comments also come from people who did not do any research before coming, and are offended to pay the entrance fee to the island when it has always been the case) A peace agreement was signed in July…

How to detect a hidden surveillance camera in an Airbnb home?
Living nomadically, we change our accommodation very regularly and live year-round in Airbnb apartments (at least ten per year) One of our psychoses is to come across an ill-intentioned landlord who has hidden cameras inside the house to keep an eye on us. The risk is very low but not zero, some travelers had this bad surprise. So I got into the habit of doing a little test when you arrive in a new home. This test is very far from guaranteeing the absence of cameras at 100% but it only takes a few seconds The principle: scan the wifi network to identify the devices connected to it. Here is…

Test & Reviews of the Cabify application (+ promo code)
If you want to get a free ride on Cabify, you can use the coupon code jeanbenoij1 In Colombia, the Uber application is prohibited. This does not prevent many people from using it, but while doing so, one might as well try to be within the law. So I installed the Cabify application (ex Tapsy). Cabify was created in Spain and is available in 38 cities in Spain, Portugal and many Latin American countries (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Panama, …). It resembles in every way the standards of VTC applications: the application geolocates us, we indicate our destination address and we call a driver. Cabify allows you to use 3…
