Hong Kong
From skycrapers to the jungle
Après des années sur la route, comment me suis-je retrouvée à écrire l’intégralité d’un guide de voyage depuis ma petite campagne hong-kongaise?
Hong Kong, c’est une ville qui s’apprivoise. Pleine de recoins cachés, de ruelles secrètes et de surprises. Pleine d’histoire et de dim sum**. Pleine de FOLIE !
A friend inspired me to write this post when she told me how rude I was, shoving people in the streets of Tokyo. “You do that in France, they will kill you!” Mmmh. So I guess this is what happens when you live in Asia too long…
After a year in Hong Kong Island's madness, we decided to move before we get crazy. And we discovered the other Hong Kong. For those who follow me on Instagram, you've seen the photos of my afternoons on desert beaches and my running sessions along the sea, looking at the sunset. Yes, Lantau is kinda cool. Real escape from the crowds of the city in only a few minutes ferry or MTR, Lantau will surprise you by its authenticity. Forget about Ngong Ping and explore the real beauty of Lantau Island.
Like most big cities, Hong Kong is a great destination for food lovers. This cities offers and incredible range of options in terms of restaurants and street food -from local Chinese dishes to Indian... But let's keep it local! Of course that list could be much longer, but I'll spare you the snake soup and stinky tofu and focus on the best Hong Kong specialities. Ready?
Beside the worldwide famous skyline and the Peak, there's a fabulous food scene to discover, a creative local street art, many gorgeous markets, and -believe it or not- stunning outdoors! One way or another, this city will surprise you...
Ohhh, wow. 2016 has been so great on so many levels I don't even know where to start. First comes the wonderful winter we've had, powder-hunting in Hokkaido. Of course, there's also that beautiful trip in Yunnan that completely disconnected us from our busy world in Hong Kong (...)
With almost 300 kms of tramping and countless smaller tracks, the range of options for hiking is so wide it can even be hard to chose sometimes. Looping around the south of the island, the 70 km-long Lantau Trail offers stunning panoramic views of the offshore islands...
We've all experienced that prickly sensation, when you just can’t seem to keep cool or drink enough fluids. How could you adjust to Hong Kong summer heat, when it's 20°C inside and 34°C outside? Do not desperate, you will eventually get used to these temperatures, and you might even enjoy it!. Are you ready for a season of beautiful clear skies, great outdoor parties and lot of FUN?
You can never get bored of the Hong Kong skyline. With its dramatic harbor setting, hilly terrain and dazzling vertical architecture, Hong Kong is nothing but unique. From high-altitude bars and observation platforms to mountain peaks, here's where you can see 10 of Hong Kong's best views... Don't forget your camera!
A friend of mine lived in Mexico for a couple of years -since then, she became really keen on all the fortune teller things. I've accepted to go get our fortune told together. I was more than relax, going there only for fun. Anyway, the guy is not going to tell me I'm gonna die tomorrow, right? Can't be bad news! At least that's what I thought...

2015. What a year -again! I'm so incredibly thankful and humbled by everything that came from this year. I went to places I didn't even know existed before -to name one, Okinawa-, swam in the clearest water I've seen, snowboarded in the legendary powder snow of Japan, met incredible people from all over the world...
It is not uncommon to hear people saying they've seen everything in Hong Kong once they've ticked all the boxes on their check list. But the truth is, beneath its skyscrapers and temples, there are lots of great alternative things to do in Hong Kong, that are not too hard to find, and absolutely worth the effort...
Although Hong Kong was under British colonial rule for 100 years, the city kept its Chinese traditions and habits in the blood, and that's what makes it so special. Mid Autumn Festival is one of the most charming and colorful events celebrated in HK. The Festival features a broad array of celebrations, including huge thematic lantern displays and carnivals, as well as various cultural shows and performances...
As you've probably noticed, there is ONE thing I love as much as traveling: drawing. I never go on a trip without my little notebooks & watercolors -illustration is part of the trip. Inspired by the voyage, I make designs for dreamers, thinkers, adventurers, doers and travelers of the world…
In January 2014, we arrived in Hong Kong newly married, with absolutely no idea whatsoever on what to expect from this immense Four years later, we are still amazed by the 852.
2014 has been a little bit crazy. A wedding. A hug with a koala. A one way ticket to Hong Kong. A kiss with an elephant. A jump from a plane. A Korean karaoke. A trek in the Himalayas. An encounter with a Buddhist monk. A Japanese garden. A cat café. A never to be forgotten curry. Yeah, we've pretty much kicked our bucketlist this year*.
Hong Kong is the perfect place for a stopover. A few hours or a couple of days, time to eat some Dim Sum, see the Peak and say Hi to Big Buddha, then you can hit the road again and head to your "real" destination. WRONG. Hong Kong is much more than that. This city offers plenty of opportunities, for all kind of profiles...
