My traveling alphabet or how to play the ABC game on a backpacking trip…
With the imminent lift-off and the scary but exhilarating realization that our adventure is happening for real (ahhhhhhhhh *holy moly sound*), my wanderlust has become really impatient and loud. This is quite annoying as I still need to focus on work for one more day so I almost want to tell her to f** off.…

My emotional final weekend in Switzerland
Only 5 sleeps to go before I (try to) fly to Cancun (I haven’t figured out yet whether the lack of an onward / return flight ticket from Mexico is indeed a deal breaker) and after a great weekend surrounded with wonderful friends I had to say goodbye to, I have felt a bit soppy today. It was…

Every day, a new “last”…
… I guess this is the price to pay for following my heart and being on a tight schedule to get ready for this exciting project. Still a million things to do! How come every time I tick one off, another one mysteriously appears?! March has started ‘sur les chapeaux de roues‘ and it seems…

3 (bad) good ideas
Exploring the world can be challenging at times (Please note the use of a massive understatement to avoid any drama queen effect. Now this is a first, isn’t it?) and it definitely brings the bright but also the dumb out of you. It is how it is. Sometimes you don’t have time to think twice…

TBT # Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysia
Through my travels, I have come across incredibles places (really struggling to decide which one is my favorite so far! but maybe one of those days I will come up with my top 5) and I am grateful for it. To be able to follow my wanderlust and to keep on traveling is priceless. Last year, when…

You know you had a great weekend…
… When you were able to go to the mountains, spend quality time with your best friend, calm your wanderlust down with sun and snow and finally complete some urgent tasks of your pretty long to-do list. Sounds pretty full on, doesn’t it? Well it was but hey no complaint! With only 24 days, 22 hours…

Why we should NOT travel…
Less than a month to go (alright yes, I do know the exact countdown as I am sharing my thoughts with you: 28 days, 19 hours and 10 minutes) and this is official: my brain has started to misbehave. Damn you, brain! Among others, I have forgotten skype dates, have double booked myself or have forgotten to…

Sun, blue sky and snow…
When I don’t travel, daydream of a potential trip or plan an adventure, I spent sunny days in the mountains. My home sweet home is in a fantastic country and I’m surrounded with wonderful trails all year round! A few winters ago, I was an enthusiastic snowboarder (yeah!). Being rubbish at it kinda slowed down my…

TBT # Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Who doesn’t like a good wander through temples? It feels like I am sent back in time. Priceless feeling, no? The peace is a bliss in a world where rushing is pretty much the only acceptable way of living in our modern society. I’m looking forward to our new adventure to hopefully be able to slow…

So… 40 days, huh?!
Can you believe that three months ago I handed in my resignation and I only have 40 days to go until the next chapter of my life begins?! I am really looking forward to traveling the world with M. Far from idealizing this ambitious project (hoping to backpack through 12 countries in 6 months), I…
