A non-exhaustive list of summer camps around the world

May 31, 2019

This blog post is a list of kids summer camps that I have bookmarked over the years, researched, tried and tested or highly recommended by friends. I want to spend as much time as possible with the children over the summer months, but I also know that camp experiences...

On my bedside table

May 31, 2019

These are some of the books and magazines that I am currently daydreaming with. A new travel magazine YOLO is a new magazine out of New York, conceived and published by Yolanda Edwards. She was the creative director of Conde Nast Traveler until it closed down (sadly)...

California tripping: from Ojai back to LA [3/3]

May 31, 2019

This last post is a bit shorter simply because I haven't had much time to write lately. It doesn't reflect on how much we all loved Ojai! And the fun times we had in Malibu and Manhattan Beach, before flying back home. 2 nights in Ojai This year has seen an unusual...

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...

California tripping: LA to Palm Springs & Joshua Tree [1/3]

May 20, 2019

3 NIGHTS IN LOS ANGELES What a cultural shock to arrive straight into the craze of Venice Beach after a long transatlantic flight. We check out the coolios playing basketball and the bodybuilders showing off by the boardwalk. Everything feels like déjà vu - the tall...

Lost Luggages? Try the Unclaimed Baggage store

Mar 29, 2019

Oh, only in America, I feel like saying. But maybe there are more initiatives around the world like the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama?! It's a 40,000sf store selling clothes, suitcases, surfboards, you name it, that they have purchased from the Lost...

A foodie & artsy week-end in Madrid

Mar 26, 2019

It's been 20 years since I've last set foot in Madrid. When you hold super dear memories of a place, it's often hard to revisit it. As if that little corner in my heart - the Madrid of my twenties, when I was an exchange student - should not be altered by any grown-up...

Over the moon in Cappadocia

Feb 15, 2019

Cappadocia's landscapes are lunar-like. They also offer fun adventures for a family trip. It's a straightforward destination: easy to reach, charming places to stay within all budgets, safe, very friendly locals. There's much to do from cultural to physical...

Fall in love with Istanbul all over again

Feb 13, 2019

Turkey has had bad press over the last few years. The authoritarian president is still around, violating human rights and making many miserable, but it doesn't take away the beauty of Istanbul and the incredible warmth of its people. I have visited the city more than...

Wild adventure, sustainability and fund raising for 14-25 years old

Nov 21, 2018

When I was growing up, my mother sent me to all sorts of places from an early age (1st poney camp at 6 yo in Burgundy .. and a linguistic camp in rural England at 7 years old!). While some experiences were a bit tough, they were all very formative and I am grateful...

Vilnius: charm, art and history for an easy European getaway

Nov 20, 2018

Raise your hand if you've been to Vilnius before! The city is rising on the cultural map but is still seldom visited. It is the capital of Lithuania, a Baltic country small in size yet rich in history, art and culture. I did not know much about it until I attended a...

Athens in less than 24h with the kids

Nov 14, 2018

Athens is often just a stopover en route to the islands. It's a pity because the city is slowly emerging from the crisis with a dynamic underground art scene. This is a good read, and this one too, Athens Rising We managed to squeeze in a few visits on our way...
