#MILES OF HAPPINESS

Blogging started as a way to keep in touch with my family when I left for my first solo road trip in 2012. It quickly escalated into a whole different thing -a passion-, where I can share our adventures, sometimes in English, sometimes in French. It’s also a way to help other travellers looking for travel tips. To meet fellow explorers. To share the LOVE!

the tribe : who’s behind the screen ?

A serial-expat family with two little ones : Noah, born in Hong Kong in 2017, and Zoe, born in Vietnam in 2019. We love getting lost on the road, enjoying the outdoors, eating (that’s obvious -as we’re French) and discovering new stuff.

OUR LIFE ON THE ROAD : HOW IT ALL STARTED ?

At 21, I had realised many of my dreams -living abroad, being graduated from an Art School, moving to Paris, working in a big advertising agency, living with by best friends. On top of that, I had just met the guy. Everything was perfect. So I asked myself : WHAT'S NEXT? I needed a new challenge. I wanted to go on the direction of my fears. To grow. Discover. Become that girl. 

Despite the fact that a fabulous career opportunity was opening to me and that I was madly in love with him, I applied for a Working Holiday Visa and bought a ticket to New Zealand. Then I hopped on that plane.  

I was on my way to stop waiting and start doing.

After a few months of solo travel, my other half surprised me by showing up on my door step, in Motueka, New Zealand, something like 18.500 kms away from home. Since then, we've been traveling together, living in France, in Indonesia, got married in Paris before moving to Hong Kong and having a baby there, moving to Vietnam, having another baby.

Today it's been 8 years since we're on the road, and wouldn't trade our life for a world. After a short Covid-related break in Southwest France, a move to Senegal, AFRICA, then to the French Alps, we’re back on the road, living between Tokyo and Southeast Asia.

#dreams/plans for 2021/2022

The plan is to explore Senegal and Africa in general as much as we can. To discover, learn, meet… Make the most of our time here!

#It's not just about luck!

We haven't won the lottery, and nobody helped us financing our trips. We've just decided to make travels our priority in life. 

Luck implies some sort of random chance. And circumstances outside of your control.

Everything we’ve done so far, we did it because we wanted to. We made a conscious effort to travel around the world and took hard decisions like selling our stuff and moving away from home, leaving friends and family behind. I have a pretty normal life. With work, routine, nappies, and bills.
