Your map description

My family is german, I grew up in the beautiful city of Paris so much Germans dream about, I also lived for a while in the UK (Birmingham), and I'm soon getting married to a Irano-Moroccan... what a mix!
I love discovering other cultures and confronting other ways of life, learning other languages...

I love travelling above all - read about it, write about it, take pictures of it. On a professional level, I am doing a master in "cultural management" and want to work some day in the publishing area, on travel guides and stories.

I'm not technically on the road now - Finishing my studies in Paris, having lots of other projects. But we escape with my fiancé whenever we can. In the last two years, we've been to England, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Egypt and Brittany (France). Soon we're going back to Germany to visit family, and hopefully our next big trip: VIETNAM...

On my own, I've not been much outside Europe, but eager to discover Asia, SouthAmerica, the US, South Africa...

I'm writing on trips we did, trips we are planning to do, places I dream about, places I've lived in...

Some pictures of our day trip to Venice. We stayed one week in Istria, northern Croatia, and took advantage of the proximity to Venice to jump onto a ferry and visit this mythical town.. [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, we are now back to work and real life... Back since over a month ;( It is far beyond time to get back to our holidays and share with you some beautiful pictures of Croatia.. A country that we visited for the first time - Europe has still got surprising destinations for us ! We just loved Croatia, and regretted not to be able to stay longer and see more... It is a country where you've got a bit of everything: beautiful beaches (with pebbles and rocks, careful!), beautiful islands, nice little villages on hills. If you're fond of [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, I'm back from holidays once again and back to work also... I used my one week holidays after one more year university to travel back to see my family - destination Germany, more precisely the southern part. After three years of phone calls, I was finally back to Baden Württemberg and Bavaria - though one week is short, we found the time to see quite a lot. Not much to say about Germany... It is not so different of France, just the beers are bigger (the people also), the trains are cleaner (but also more expensive), the roads dirtier [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, I've not been travelling much since my last entry... We are organising our next trip to Vietnam, for next February - till then, we can still dream about travelling the world... I browsed through beautiful photos on this travelblog website - and saw a few nice ones from Paris. Made me think that I had some as well - You never think of showing pictures from home, do you? You always dream of getting away, but home can be sometimes so beautiful, and you just don't appreciate it any longer.. I have the chance of living nearby Paris, a [View Full Entry]

Sorry about this, I'm just updating my travelblog a bit... and I realised that I had not written anything about Mallorca. Mallorca as you will know, is one island of the Baleares in the Mediterranean Sea, and belongs to Spain. I've been there thrice over the years, and from time to another it had changed considerably. Now it is known as one of the main cheap and mass touristic destinations - it's next to Ibiza, says a lot... BUT there are still very local and tranquil places on the island, especially towards the North - mainly because the only airport is [View Full Entry]

Flash back Africa » Egypt » Lower Egypt » Cairo
Hi everyone, so now I've decided to take a couple of minutes and to go back in time - I've not yet said anything detailled about my last trip in Egypt, which was so great and so full of marvelous things... I don't know where to begin, really. So let's just take the trip from its beginning - Cairo, stop for two complete days. I highly recommend anyone to visit this city on your own... As much as I loved my trip, I deeply regret not to have been able to discover more of Cairo by myself. We only had two [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Not much more since last time... We've been back almost a month now, and I still think of Egypt and its beautiful sights... I'm too busy to write about it in more details (and honestly it's just depressing when you don't yet have another travelling project). Soon, soon you will here about our wonderful trip. We are already thinking about our holidays of next year (that is, we're already travelling in June - but to my family in Germany, that doesn't really count and perhaps in August, since we have two weeks' time, haven't decided yet if we go [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Finally we've done it - we've been to Egypt and it was just wonderful... Not so much relaxing, but that's the price to pay. Our eyes and our head were filled with beautiful landscapes and breathtaking monuments... I must say that it was my childhood dream (I had a "hieroglyphic" period, and was totally fond of ancient Egypt) - finally done! There's so much to say: let's begin with the context of the trip. For once, we have taken an "all inclusive" type of thing - flights, hotel, guide included, excursions, everything... I am not particularly fond of this [View Full Entry]

On the leave Africa » Egypt
Hi everyone, we're on the leave for our next big trip - ok, concerning duration it's not so big, only 10 days but that's already huge for us, poor working people.... Destination Egypt! Just the dream of my life, if I may sum it up like this. And we're doing the whole lot! Four days in Cairo, with guided tours and everything (it's not so much my character but it's cheaper with all inclusive, and easier in terms of organizing) - then flight to Louxor and cruise on the Nile until Assouan... I'll tell about everything as soon as we get [View Full Entry]
