Israeli 2019
I went to Israeli in 2019I was with my family, we were invited by some friends living in Tel Aviv. It was a touristic trip which lasted 10 days. The city was really surprising, it was lively and festive almost 24/7. It being seeside made it was even more appealing! We visited the baroque district and enjoy the beach. We also visited Israeli famous region and city such as Jerusalem but also Palestinian town such as Bethlehem where Jesus was supposedly born. The huge mixt of religions was very surprising and inspiring. The ancient architecture still presents there was as well pleasure to the eye! The food as well was very good, Lebanese cuisine is exquisite!
Ariège (Fr)
I went in Ariège a few times in my life! There live my godfather, the pictures however are from the last time I went there, in February 2021. The Ariège is a mountainous region. With its eternal snow mountains, the view there is always amazing! I went there with my girlfriend for the first time, and it was super nice, even if the snow on the station was becoming rarer and rarer due to climate change, we could do some sled. My sister brother and parents were there, and we spend some quality family time! All the more, my god father being a chef in a starred restaurant , the food was exceptional! The “bon-vivant” atmosphere was relaxing and made of this trip a calm moment in the middle of the covid-19 hurricane.
Corsica (Fr)
Corsica would be my favorite European destination! I am going there each year since the year I was born , being a quarter Corsican , my family have a house there in a typical Corsican village, almost surrounded by mountains as well as 40 minutes’ walk 5 minute with a car away from the sea. Being far from the touristic towns the beach is always almost empty. Even if it’s not a sand beach the ground pebbles are so small that they are even softer than condensed sand AND when you are wett, they doesn’t stick to your body! Anyway the thing with Corsica, is that you can do everything you want! Want to relax ? go to the beach! Want to do sport ? run on the small roads with magnificent landscape! Want some adventure? Go hiking in the mountain or walk in the maquis!Everything is posssible!
New York (Us)
I went there once, when I was eleven in February 2010! But I still remember it as if it was yesterday. Being one of the largest urban surfaces in the world, new York has many district and within each district, different lifestyles! From the Bronx to Manhattan going through Harlem or Queen , I’ve never seen this much diversity anywhere in the world . Seeing the status of liberty also was a shock, it could seem cliché but as a kid, seeing this huge construction arriving on a boat allowed me to imagin how migrant may have feel arriving there. The beacon of hope had some effect on me even if I had no possible complains regarding my life!
Cambodia 2014
Now my favorite Asian destination! The first time I went ther was for the wedding of a family friend. I went there with my family (uncle aunt cousins grandmother ,…), we had a pink autobus just for us, and our friend had organize a 2weeks trip for us! The first few days, it was mostly about temples in Angkor Wat. It was Simply amazing out of the world, splendid! A bit crowded but it was a more than fare price for a few days of wonder in the ancient world! We then continued our trip to the rabbit island were the marriage was happening ! During this trip, we could discover the inner land with the pepper plantation and the markets. We had our last day at the capital, therefore we really hadn’ the chance to visit, but the town being in development it was really heterogenous with towers in the middle of 2 to 3 floor buildings. it was an overall extremely interesting adventure!
Cambodia 2018
ROUND 2 ! This time it wasn’t the wedding but the 50th birthday of our Franco-(newly)Cambodian friend. My brother and grandmother weren’t there this time . Our trip started this time, in the capital it was impressive the hotel rooftop was composed of an overflowing swimming pool and a bar lounge, and the city ! only 4 years later but the town had changed soo much with much more towers. We stayed way longer in Phnom Penh enjoying the town new features and district. The town was kind of strange with temples in the middle of skyscrapers, but it was beautiful. The second part of our journey was on Koh Rong Island, a paradisiac place pretty unshattered by tourism factories, I went on a cross-Scooter tour in the deep inner island lands.
Morocco
I went there in 2012! The first time I was stepping in North Africa! with my family we went on a two week Touristic trip ! It was a trip full of new experience ! have you ever slept in a tent in the middle of the desert? Because I did ! And trust me going from a riad hotel to a bivouac tent is ..Surprising.. to say the least. we moved a lot around Morocco in an orange jeep from desert ancient in ruined city to Asterix mission Cleopatra movie setting in Ouarzazate we saw a lot of things. we saw troglodyte houses in a rocky desert (REG) but also on the move groups in the sand desert (ERG). We saw Camel crossing road risk signs ! We mounted some camels! We also lost a coke drinking contest against a camel … It was a truly fun tour which ended in Marrakech, AKA the bargainers and scammers town but the architecture there is truly amazing! Such as this country !
Portugal
Ok I might have lied earlier, Portugal and Corsica are equal in term of European destinations! As half Portuguese Quarter Corsican Quarter Alsatian , Portugal VS Corsica is a tie … While I was spending half of all my summers in Corsica with my father side of the family, I was spending the half of my fall holidays in Portugal with my mother side of the family. There I did quite a lot of type of activities, from golf when I was in elementary school and Surf more recently, the beaty of Portugal lies is the contrast between seaside’s cities and in land ones. the Portugal according to me find its beauty within the beach climate and waves size, I always liked bathing in huge waves and Portugal offered me that quite often. Added to this the bakery there are awesome Better than in France for sure!
Britain (Fr)
Not as good as Portugal and Corsica but not too bad as well! I mostly went there during february Holidays with my father side of the family ! It might seems like a weir choic of season for coastal region , BUT winter is the best season according to me to visit French brittain for the following reasons : NO Tourist, Harsh Weather which combined to the sea waves create an awesome atmosphere ! Nothing better than a warm crepe for lunch and cider bowl as drink to warm up in a cosy local atmosphere ! I went there quite often and never got bored of walking on the customs-officer path while a wind and rainstorm threaten you to fall into the enraged sea at each uncareful steps ! The feeling of doing something no one do (such as rock-climbing to get as close as possible to the raging sea and take pictures as if you were an infield extreme reporter (please don't try this at home or don't say the idea is from me! ; )
