The Real Siargao

Siargao was my first Asian destination ever, and I had quite a cultural shock when we got there. Everything is different from what I'm used to, starting with how houses are built, life habits, transportation, laws, hobbies, and so on.

Island Hopping in Siargao

The main activity in Siargao (aside from surfing) is called island hopping. Indeed, the Philippines count more than 7,000 islands, and some of them are super tiny and uninhabited.

Mussels & Fries

I have been to Brussels on multiple occasions since my godmother lives in Belgium. It's not that far from Paris - 3.5 hour car ride or 1.5 hour train ride - so that makes a pretty good weekend getaway if you live in Paris.

Loire Valley Castles

Loire Valley is a French region that's about 250 km South from Paris. It is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance Castles and its wines.

Hvar Island

We briefly stayed in Split, but the idea was to take the ferry to Hvar Island a couple days later. My favourite place in Hvar was definitly Palmižana Beach, which is actually not on Hvar!

The Pearl of Algarve

My favourite type of destination always involves being close to a beach. People suggested the South Coast of Portugal - a region called Algarve.

Wandering Solo in Athens

Before my trip to the Greek islands, I decided to spend two days in the city of Athens by myself while waiting to meet with my friend Johanne. Learn more about where I stayed and what I did.

Beach Hopping in Kefalonia

Another island I visited during my trip to Greece is Kefalonia, the largest Ionian island. With its surreal beaches and its charming villages along the coast, it wasn't hard to fall in love with the place.

Visiting Zante Island

I had been seeing pictures of that wonderful beach online for a while, and decided to find out where it was. Turns out this heavenly place is in Greece, on the island of Zante (also called Zakynthos).

Travelling On Your Own

I quickly realized that if I was going to wait to find a travel partner and rely on another person every time I wanted to do something, things would just never happen.

Calanques National Park

When the opportunity came to spend a weekend in Marseille, I got really excited to start planning a hike to the Calanques, these majestic white cliffs along the Mediterranean.

House of Dior

For the 70th anniversary of House of Dior, the Musée des Arts Décoratif is having an absolutely stunning exhibition where you'll discover some of Christian Dior & his successors' most beautiful creations.

Living In The Clouds

The French Alps, this chain of mountains mostly known as a popular ski destination, also has a lot to offer during summer months.

Champagne Lovers

To all of you, Champagne lovers: did you know that Champagne is a sparkling wine that comes from the eponymous region in France? There are two main cities you can go to if you wish to visit Champagne cellars: Reims & Épernay.

Brooklyn Shenanigans

As you may already know, New York is a city that I particularly like, and I try to visit every year. What's fun is that every little weekend trip has been completely different thus far.
