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.

Situated off the beaten track in the South Island, the Catlins region is broad and wild, with lush forests, rugged coastlines, hidden waterfalls and vertiginous caves. Such a stunning untamed nature attracts an extraordinary wildlife. It's a true haven for travelers.

The islands of the Kerama group are a world away from everything you know. An archipelago surrounded by coral reefs and unbelievably transparent seas where time has stopped years ago. A place where you live in close communion with the ocean, in a unique atmosphere. It consists of 22 small islands, southwest of Okinawa's main island. It's picturesque, with few people and an incredible wildlife. 

A drive along the roads of the Cape Peninsula is one of our favorite additions to our Cape Town Itinerary. Get a map, a good playlist, you camera and get ready to hit the road...

I'll start by stating the obvious : Cape Town is one of the most FANTASTIC travel destination we've had the chance to explore so far. Here's a complete guide for how to spend a week in Cape Town! 

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 (...)

Our road trip in Mauritius has led us from surprise to surprise during twelve beautiful days. And even though we've explored a large part of the island, we feel like there is still plenty to discover, and would definitely be in for another trip...

The main part of Mauritius island is surrounded by an outer reef, which creates magnificent lagoons... Whether you are into culture, nature, adventure or luxury, the island will not disappoint. Now, let me tell you about our 12 days road trip itinerary...

Suffice it to say that I've fallen in love with Indonesia. In Bali, there's the best and the worst, so you'd better keep moving to find the place that will really charm you. Then you'll eventually understand why the hell people love it so much. For us, this place is called Uluwatu. With its easygoing spirit, it's the place that kind of... make sense, shall we say? 

You can spend the day overflying desert islands and the night trekking on a volcano; attend a cooking class on the morning and ride a zipline in the jungle with wild monkeys around you on the afternoon. In short, it's a whole different world that awaits you with surprises you won't even imagine... Pack your flip-flops, swimsuit and passport. You're off to a big adventure!

Nusa Lembongan is the kind of place where you find yourself immersed in adventure and the outdoors. Some would say there's not much to do besides lying on the beach, however we found ourselves pretty busy during our stay -between a swim with massive mantas, cliff jumps, sunrise jog on the beach and Bintangs with the locals. Get ready for a journey in the Bali of your dreams...

We lived in Indonesia for a year, and were lucky to have Bali as our 'weekend destination'. We spent a lot of time on the island of Gods, and we loved it. We hated it. We loved it. We hated it -you see my point. My question is: why the hell does everyone LOVE Bali so much? What about the 17.000 other island in Indonesia, and Southeast Asia, and the rest of the world?  It might be the exotic weather, the down-to-earth lifestyle, the laid-back vibes, or maybe...

Batu Karas is a coastal village surrounded by jungle, rice terraces and a perfect black beach facing the sunrise. It possesses a rare charm and friendly vibe. The local are a large part of what makes that place special -always smiling, eager to interact with visitors and to share their culture.

Imagine a place where people take the time to breath. To grow their own vegetables. Cook each meal homemade. Feel the wind on their face. Talk with strangers -and share a bottle of saké. Watch the waves dancing on the beach... This place is called Okinawa...

From Java to Sulawesi, I've seen wonders I could hardly believe they actually exist. Either you're going for a couple of weeks or for a long term trip, I hope you'll enjoy Indonesia as much as I did -and I hope this post will help you decide your itinerary. 

We stayed almost a year in Indonesia, expats, based in Jakarta. Unfortunately we had to eat, therefore, we had to work -and couldn't spend all our time traveling. But, still, we took the time to explore the islands and discover heavenly places. Let me think back to these amazing memories...

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...
