Cayo Santa Maria is another one of Cuba’s popular tourist destination. Working for an airline/tour operator, II had the opportunity to stay at the Valentin Perla Blanca hotel shortly after its opening. The hotel grounds were beautiful and the service was great. If you ever visit, be warned that there are a lot of mosquitoes at night.

Qutb Minar
South of Delhi, we find the Qutb Minor (or Qutub Minar) complex. Recognized mainly by its 239ft high minaret. This is of course a UNESCO World Heritage site. The minaret itself is the world’s tallest brick minaret and is quite impressive.

Bangkok – part 2
The view of War Arun (Temple of Dawn) as seen from a water taxi boat on the Chao Phraya river never ceases to amaze me. I also never get tired of seeing Buddha statues as they all have their uniqueness despite representing the same thing.

A part of history
Located 11km from Cape Town, this is Robben Island. You may have never heard of this place but you have surely heard of its most famous resident: Nelson Mandela. This is where Mr. Mandela was incarcerated for 18 years between 1964 an 1982. He later went on to become South Africa’s President.

Sant’Angelo
It’s a scorching hot day in Rome. Stephanie and I arrived just a few hours ago but after a quick stop at the hotel, we’re already making our way through the city streets. Destination unknown.. Following the gernal direction fo the Vatican, we eventually end up at Castel Sant’Agnelo, also known as Hadrian’s Tomb.

Dreaming of…
Oh, Japan. Once you’ve been there, you know. You know that sickening feeling of wanting to go back again as soon as possible. You miss wandering Tokyo’s mgical alleways at night. You miss those soul searching moments in Koyasan. You miss those delicious flavours in your mouth. You miss those vending machines. Oh, Japan. Why are you...

WTF Italy ?
Three minutes away from our hotel in Rome and we stumble upon the beautiful WTF moment, I literally had to do a double take for this one. I didn’t think something like this would be possible 2022. I guess I was wrong.

Kathmandu Durbar Square
A Durbar Square is a Royal Square. It’s basically the area surrounding the old Royal Palace. There are three such squares in the Kathmandu Valley. The first one pictured here is located in Kathmandu. The second one is in Bhaktapur and the last one in Patan. They are all three part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

For our great Covid escape, Stéphanie and I chose to spend two weeks in Italy. We would start up in Rome, then make our way to La Spezia and visit the Cinque Terre region. After spending a few days exploring the five...

In the last episode…
On December 31st 2019, I celebrated New Year’s at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. Two days later, I took a flight bound for Montreal. Little did I know that it would take over two years to leave Canada again. It’s now 2022 and fate brings me back to Paris once more.

In the air again
In May 2022, the company I work for decided to send me on a little business trip abroad. I do not usually post about the actual flights themselves but this one was a very special one. For starters, it was my first overseas flight since the Covid shutdown and I was greatly excited to be crossing the Atlantic Ocean once more. Secondly, this was an...

Old Port kaleidoscope
Summers are short in Quebec. It’s best to enjoy every single day of it. A great way to experience the summer sunset in the city, is by heading to the Clock Tower in the Old Port. If the conditions are right, you’ll be treated with a kaleidoscope of colors during the last few minutes sun light.

El Salvador’s highest volcano
I know, climbing a volcano doesn’t sound like a very smart idea to a lot of you out there and that’s very justifiable. It is however one of the most unique and memorable experiences of my life. At more than 2300m (7800 ft) above sea level, the Santa Ana is El Salvador’s highest volcano.

Nice – part 1
I had been to France a few times before but it was never in my plans to go to Nice. My then girlfriend and her sister however, wanted to go so I went. Nice is a small but beautiful place to visit. The food is good, the climate is quite enjoyable and the scenery is picturesque. What more do you want?
