Brisbane is the capital city of the Australian state of Queensland, it's also the most populated. I'm writing this today as it's snowing in London... Strange feeling to think I was there at the same period of the year in 2020! January is one of their hottest months. I'll tell you why I love this... Continue Reading →
A lot can happen in a year... I can't believe we're almost Christmas already as it doesn't really feel like it. I never thought we would still be going through a worldwide pandemic by now but here we go! Anyway, the topic today is to go back to Christmas period last year when we were... Continue Reading →
This is the end of 2 weeks of daily travel throwbacks I promised to write about. Our big adventure happened between November 2019 and April 2020, but now I can finally say I have some closure. This experience ended like an unexpected breakup in a relationship, like I was forced to turn the page despite... Continue Reading →
This is the final part of our road trip in New Zealand! Don't forget to read the first 3 parts before, so you can get the full story: 1/4 – South Island: From Christchurch to Te Anau 2/4 – South Island: From Te Anau to Picton 3/4 – North Island: From Wellington to Rotorua 4/4... Continue Reading →
The first thing you need to know about New Zealand is that North and South Islands feel like two completely different countries! When you'll enjoy the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen in your life in South Island, the upper part of New Zealand is a lot busier in terms of population and richer in... Continue Reading →
Before you read this post, make sure you've read part 1 first (on the road from Christchurch to Te Anau). Our road trip in New Zealand is split between 4 posts and this is the second part: 1/4 – South Island: From Christchurch to Te Anau2/4 – South Island: From Te Anau to Picton3/4 –...

New Zealand has been in my travel wish list for so long... But it's so far away from Europe! When we put together our entire 6-month trip, it was the country we had the most fun planning. There are so many possibilities on where to go! We started by establishing a priority list of things... Continue Reading →
Rather than taking the plane again to the next big city, we decided to drive all along the East coast of Australia, from Sydney to Cairns. You need 3 things for the perfect road trip: time, a good car and a good partner. Australia is a vast country and sometimes you drive for long hours... Continue Reading →
"Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere. We'll stop in every small town and learn the history and stories, feel the ground, and capture the spirit. Then we'll turn it into our own story that will live inside our history to carry with us, always. Because stories... Continue Reading →
I wish I was able to use a title a bit more positive about Sydney... Like for example: "Sydney, the most popular city in Australia". But it wouldn't reflect our experience there, the timing was just wrong. We had our next few months of travel already planned ahead, and a couple of friends who lived... Continue Reading →
Actually, Melbourne has ranked THE most liveable city in the world seven years in a row until 2017, based on the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Global Liveability Index. Since, Vienna (Austria) has stolen the spotlight but Melbourne is still a close second. If it wasn't that far away from Europe, it's definitely a city I... Continue Reading →
After Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bali, we flew to Australia with the aim to visit several coastal cities from West (Perth) to North-East (Cairns). The country is so big that it's not really possible to travel from a big city to another without taking the plane (unless you have a lot of time!) so we... Continue Reading →
