Frenchie Gone Exploring

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • 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…

  • Tuesday yumminess!

    What was I recently saying?! Oh yeah… let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… Well, I can definitely say that winter got my memo. Who would have thought that the Rain dance I learnt in Monument Valley would be so helpful?! I sightly modified it (obvisouly, rain and snow… same same BUT different),…

  • 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…

  • Tuesday yumminess!

    This week’s weather is definitely calling for a treat… Don’t get me wrong, I can handle rain (influence from my English friends?). I can handle snow (influence from my Swiss friends?) but sleet? Really Winter? It is not acceptable, nor enjoyable, nor needed. Get a grip Winter and do what you are best at: let…

  • 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…

  • A lovely Sunday in Singapore or how to spend a one-day layover in the Lion City!

    … 14 hours in Singapore?! Challenge accepted! And believe me, this was not an easy challenge, as this stop was unexpected. As you can imagine, we were not prepared. But hey, you gotta love unexpected situations life throws at you and let’s face it, there is worse than a forced layover in Singapore – I…

  • TBT # La Paz, Bolivia

    While I was planing my world tour three years ago, many travelers told me that I could NOT miss Bolivia. I therefore started to read about this country, both fictions and non fictions (I particularly enjoyed ‘Marching powders’ by Rusty Young) and I decided to add this city / country to my (already too long)…

Got any book recommendations?
