California tripping: Big Sur and the Pacific Coast Highway [2/3]

May 31, 2019

Big Sur has been on my wanderlist for years. The name alone takes me away when I pronounce it (just like the words Zanzibar, Fiji or Shalimar..). I love the combination of Big, like everything is so Big in America, and Sur, with that Spanish accent. Our time in Big...

Paris: these are a few of my favourite things

Oct 20, 2018

If I only had a few days in Paris, I’d try to hit any – or all! – of the following places. There’s a bit for everyone in this list: fashion, food, children’s clothes... Some are old time favorites, back to when I lived on Place des Vosges (yes! in a tiny mouse hole...

Puglia without the crowds

Nov 29, 2017

What better than the excuse of a 40th birthday (not mine though!) to explore a new region. Or .. what better than a celebration with friends to enjoy a week-end away from the children? Or again .. what better than a few days in grey November to enjoy the Puglian sun?!...

Beiges, Blues, Yellows and Pinks. Marrakech

Sep 18, 2017

Disclosure: this blog post only contains the addresses of 1 driver, 1 restaurant, 1 shop and 3 places to sleep. I know, it's a bit light for a fascinating city like Marrakech, and I am not claiming that those addresses are the best of, but I really enjoyed them on my...

everything you’ve always wanted to know about Sri Lanka with the kids |5|

Jun 20, 2017

Wow, that might be the longest travel series I've ever written! Five blog posts only about Sri Lanka, a country only the size of Ireland, yet starting to get some big recognition on travellers' minds. Our trip ended as it started ie. on a high cultural note, in...

A Mother & Daughter weekend in Sevilla, Spain… Olé!

May 11, 2016

A very good friend once told me that her way to ensure quality time with her 3 children is to take them on fun trips one on one. She takes turns with her husband, and as a result, each child gets to go every 3 years with one of the parent. I love that idea, because...

Living like a Capetonian family |1|

Feb 13, 2016

Cape Town had picked my interest ever since I interviewed the talented Jann from Lucky Fish. I kept hearing how stunning the location of the city is, with the waves of the Atlantic ocean breaking large on its shores. How vibrant is the creative and food scene,...

Feet in the sand in Trancoso. Bahia, Brazil |1|

Apr 25, 2015

Once in a while, travelling also means going somewhere and doing nothing. nada. That’s what I dreamt of when we planned our Easter break with the children. In truth, it rarely happens in our family ie. to go somewhere and stay put. So we decided to do just that in...

Japan |2|: Osaka/ Naoshima/ Miyajima

Jun 9, 2014

I've been waiting for the right moment to tell you all about our trip in Japan. I wanted the posts to be the perfect reflection of everything that we experienced. But it's impossible. Our journey there was so rich in Emotions. Tastes & Smells....

A (family) night in the desert, Oman |1|

Jan 12, 2012

I'd like to tell you a bit about our recent trip to Oman, officially called the Sultanate of Oman. While we went there primarily to seek some sun and rest in the middle of the long English winter (read: we started with 5 nights in a family-geared sea-side resort...

The great outdoors of Patagonia

Mar 29, 2011

We've just spent 5 days in the national park of Torres del Paine, in the Chilean side of Patagonia. Waterfalls, snowy mountain peaks, lakes of all colours, glaciers, icebergs, never ending lands, condors, huanacos, rain, sun, wind. And rainbows to top it all. It's a...

Penguins, koalas and kangaroos on Phillip island, Australia

Feb 17, 2011

Phillip island, 2h30 outside of Melbourne, is quite a special place to see Australian wildlife from real close with the children. In one day today, we've been able to watch a father koala calling his baby who had gone a bit too high up in the tree. A baby penguin...

How I traveled to Syria for my birthday, and loved it

Yes I traveled to Syria last week. Not the broken and abused Syria that we all know from the news but the Syria full of colours, smiles and flavours that once stood proud. That’s right, that's where we all went on Thursday night with a bunch of super girlfriends and...

i am a pure and proud product of immigration

this is me in the 70's at my beloved grandmother's house. i am a pure and proud product of immigration. My Christian grandmother escaped poverty in Italy between the two wars and crossed the Alps with mother and brothers in search of a better life in the mining towns...

I wonder what Hemingway would say about Cuba today

Everyone's talking about Cuba these days, and I am thrown 20 years back to when I first visited this special island, and left it with mixed feelings about its future. I was 20 years old back then. During a summer internship in Caracas (that's a whole other blog...

The wife vs. the mother, Bhutan |1|

We're back from a trip in Bhutan, which I really want to document properly on BozAround. It will be mainly through photos as I took sooo many, and they will tell much more about this beautiful country than my own words. Bhutan is roughly the size of Switzerland,...
