  • Carabao island

    On Saturday after almost 2 days in the air with stops over Doha, Bangkok and Manila we finally made it to Carabao island. The airport in Caticlan was tiny and you felt like you were entering a secret place. We knew this was not the case since Boracay has been having his moment of fame…

  • Day has arrived!

    It is time for me to leave winter behind to enjoy some well deserved warmth… The Philippines as a first stop: Carabao & Boracay islands. Both are located south of Manila and were barely affected by the the typhoon Haiyan and I’m looking forward to relaxing on a white sand beach, sipping cocktails. Haven’t decided…

  • 10 days to go… Not counting…

    Today my last visa arrived at work, I’m officially allowed to enter Cambodia and Vietnam and I am completely fidgety!! Looking forward to my first stop: Carabao Island, Philippines. I’m glad we can still make it to the Philippines even though the typhoon Haiyan caused some major destruction and affected millions of people. Happy trails…

  • A year today…

    A year ago today, I was leaving for my tapas world tour, 100 days, 13 countries, over 70 000 kms covered, met many amazing people, tried mysef to Lao, Swahili and Tonga, ate some unexpected and interesting local dishes and realized that Wanderlust was still and will always be a part of me! Glad I…

  • South East Asia trip: step 1 completed!

    For some reason, French people holders must apply for a visa when they want to discover Vietnam (different websites, different info so I’m writing this article based on the instructions found on my government’s official website) After thinking of sending my visa application for so long, I finally did it. I found time to organize:…

  • A two-day itinerary to see Luzern and Zurich without rushing!

    I love having guests, showing them around, sharing my knowledge as I would be a local and this weekend, since a friend of mine came over, I put my tour guide hat on again. She arrived on Friday and flew back today at 8:45 pm so I planned an itinerary to make sure she gets…

  • Wanderlust is waking up

    Months ago a bunch of friends decided to organize a reunion… We all met last year in South America, travelled around together. We enjoyed it for 3 weeks before we had to head back home to Switzerland, England, Germany, Canada and Australia. We decided after a few months being at home that we had to…

  • Lucky me, I live in the most beautiful town in the world: Luzern!

    When I wake up with a gorgeous weather like today, blue sky, cloud free, warmth and sun, there is nowhere else I would rather be in the world! Luzern with nice weather is a blessing! You can stroll on the promenade along the lake… Or let your mind wander for hours sitting on a bench,…
