5 days in Almaty
Almaty completely stole my heart. I loved this clean, safe and relaxed city, with its wide avenues, countless cafés with outdoor terraces, and the stunning mountains surrounding it. It is one of those places that immediately feels welcoming, and I already know I want to come back. Discovering Almaty on foot After two excellent flights with Turkish Airlines (definitely one of my favourite airlines!) I … Continue reading 5 days in Almaty

I landed in Tuxtla Gutierrez airport from Cancun (120€ for 2 and one baggage on hold with Vivaaerobus) and took … Continue reading 2 weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico
One week in Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido
We arrived in Oaxaca on a night bus from Palenque (via Villahermosa) after 5 awesome days in Chiapas. The ride was super long (about 13 hours, instead of 10) and extra bumpy. Really not pleasant. What to do in Oaxaca? Go on a free walking tour around the lovely city (meeting point in front of Teatro Macedonio Alcala). You’ll also get a chance to taste … Continue reading One week in Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido

We took a taxi (18€, pre-booked inside … Continue reading 5 days in Chiapas, Mexico
2 weeks in Ecuador
When you hear the word ‘Ecuador’, what do you think of? Besides an (awesome) song from the end of the 90’s of course. To be honest, I had … nothing in my mind. And that was kind of cool, it meant that it’s not very touristy. But in a few clicks, I discovered there’s a lot to see: volcanoes, jungle, colonial cities and of course… … Continue reading 2 weeks in Ecuador
