A few days in Cordoba
Cordoba of Argentina has never been on our list of cities to visit. Nothing against it, but it was just not our list. It was well worth it for sure and we would visit Cordoba again.
Wandering in and around Buenos Aires
We heard it before and can only confirm it: Buenos Aires has a strong European vibe. Argentinians will remind you that at least one of their descendants is Eruopean.
Salvador de Bahia: a dark history under pastel colors
The complete name of Salvador is: São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos (translated as Saint Savior from the Bay of All Saints). Why? Because Amerigo Vespucci.
5 days in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro has so much to offer that knowing where to start can be overwhelming! We didn’t have time to do everything we would have liked to do but we really enjoyed it. Rio de Janeiro is amazing!

Celebrating in Bangkok!
We had decided to spend the last week of our 3,5 months trip in South East Asia in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. We chose this because Bangkok offers a good transitions between cultures
Surprising Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta, Jogja or Yogya for the intimate, only has 400K inhabitants… 4 millions if you include its agglomeration. An interesting part of Yogyakarta is that it barely has any high buildings.
Two days in Singapore
Singapore is an interesting city to explore. Because of the British history in the region, the architecture is very similar to the one we could find in Malaysia, except that it is all renovated and bright clean.
Two days in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur (KL) is the capital of Malaysia and an important hub in the Southeast Asian region. With more than 7 million inhabitants, Kuala Lumpur is the biggest city we have visited since we left Vietnam 2 month ago…
Vientiane, the quietest capital in Asia
