Japanese pastries don’t always have the most interesting tastes and flavors (but as a Frenchman, I probably have higher standards than average). However, they definitely have the best looks: I almost felt bad eating them.

We’re returning to Andorra today with a brief post about the Ordino Pass (Coll d’Ordino in Catalan). It’s just one of the many mountain passes in the country. One that has remained quite unspoiled. This is one of the good things about Andorra. Despite its booming development, nature that has barely been touched by […]

July 14th is in a few days, so I guess this is the perfect time of the year to tell you a little bit about Bastille Day. During my 20+ years surrounded by English speakers almost daily, it came to my attention, that there are a lot of misconceptions about […]

Today, we continue visiting Andorra with the village of Pal. One of the most charming villages in the country. The rapid growth of the Andorran population has had a couple of consequences on its general appearance. On the bad side, a quite chaotic and not very aesthetic surge of new […]

Today, a very quick post. Just a picture, a short video, and a few words. Tonight, it may be the first night I get to see the Summer solstice sunset since I’ve moved to Japan almost 10 years ago. See, usually, we’re in the middle of the rainy season. We’re […]

(this is the second post of my series about Andorra, if you have missed the first one, here it is) When I was a kid and I used to go to Andorra a couple of times a year, there always was a landmark that stood out on the road […]

Digging through my archives, I found some old pictures and old posts about Andorra. So why don’t I bring them here and tell you a little bit about this fascinating country that many people may have not even heard about? My last trip there was almost 10 years ago. It […]

This picture was taken from the 5th-floor Parisian apartment where I lived for about three years between 2006 and 2008. Don’t get too excited though, it really was one of the few times it was that good looking. What about the other apartment where I spent almost two […]

I’ve been to Baltimore once, and I only spent a few hours there. It was in November 1998, during Thanksgiving week. A couple of French friends and I went on a small road trip for a couple of days. We stopped at Baltimore, spent the night in Delaware, and […]

Vanuatu?! Have you ever even heard of this country? It used to be known as the New Hebrides… Does that help? It’s a beautiful string on islands in the South Pacific, basically between Fiji and New Caledonia. I’ve taken some of my old travel essays and mashed them into an […]

I have been living in Melbourne for around five years now and I am still amazed every time I wander down an alley and find some of the most amazing artwork. Melbourne City Council allow artists to paint the on the walls in certain areas of the city so the […]

I used to hate creative writing in high school. Really detested it. But I enjoyed writing letters to family and friends. I’d put a lot of effort into describing scenes and making them entertaining. Then I discovered travelogues. Good travel writing. I thought, “I wouldn’t mind doing that — I […]
