Where to next…
We have been back for 6 months (already!) and this is the first time, I am sitting down with an urge to write and share my thoughts. While checking my last post about Plitvice in Croatia, I couldn’t believe so much time has passed since my last traveling story. Coming home was, the least to…

T for thankful
Since one of our friends told us that Cahuita National Park was a MUST, we couldn’t miss it! We were of course still wary of such recommendations after Manuel Antonio but according to her, this was her favorite park because 1) its wildlife was sensational 2) the entrance fee was on a donation basis. Say…

Q for quite an adventure
Three enthusiastic friends, a rental car, 12 days and a whole new country to explore… What could possibly go wrong? Fast forward 600 kilometers, and we now know that a road trip in Costa Rica (or CR for cool kids) during the rainy season is a risky adventure. We have gambled and lost, facing some…

I for incredible Honduras
When we told our friends and families that we would be traveling through Honduras, many of them were not impressed so let’s start with a fact, shall we? Honduras, as a whole, is NOT dangerous.

What I wish I would have known before backpacking Central America…

H for high and happy
Out of breathe (who wouldn’t with a frigging tent, a yoga mat, a sleeping bag, enough food / water and warm clothes on the back to survive an overnight at 3’700 meters?) and slightly dizzy (It was the first time that my body was affected by the altitude. It isn’t a mountain legend after all!),…

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.…

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…

Australian adventures, volume # 2: Victoria
First of all, truth must be said and I am hoping to be forgiven by that state: we unfortunately didn’t have much time to discover it properly. Phew, glad this is out! My first (and only so far) impression is therefore based on 24 hours spent in Melbourne. While my companions prefered to either drive…
