Back to the good life in Napa & Sonoma’s vineries

How could we be in California without visiting its wineries and tasting its wines? We couldn’t! If you know The Bear and The Zeb, with their “Frenchie” background, you know they loooove good wines! So a road trip to Napa & Sonoma Valleys was absolutely mandatory! The weather was great and the landscapes comparable with […]

Sunny San Francisco, easily making the top of coolest cities

Clear blue skies and sun every day in the city, with foggy afternoons in the surrounding areas! Not too cold, not too hot, just requiring a hoodie at hand for the windy bays. Cats, you’ve made a wonderful decision to move in this corner of the world! So far, I would put SF on the […]

Sunny California, highway 101, happy friends

How long have I been waiting for such a trip! Yes, we’ve been on 2 continents already, almost 10 countries, most of the time on the road. However 99% of the time it was just the 2 of us – The Bear and The Zeb…which is amazing…but sometimes you just miss sharing moments and experiences […]

Manila, our worst experience so far

On our way to California we had a 24 hours layover in Manila, so we decided to spend it in the city, not in the Airport. Looking back, it was not the best decision we could make! Imagine arriving at 1 AMat a hotel which is supposed to be in the center, with very good […]

Kuala Lumpur, nothing much to discover

After so many beautiful places and people in Malaysia, we were expecting probably too much from its capital. Unfortunately, it fails to fulfill the high standards of the other places in the country. Except for Petronas and KL towers and the Sunway Lagoon amusement park (which is actually located in the outskirts of the city), […]

Singapore…yet another perfect city

Never ever would I have imagined that one day an Asian city would be in the top cities I would like to live in. Surrounded by the sea, sunny, clean, great infrastructure, amazing architecture, multicultural, fully English speaking, growing economy, all kinds of cuisines…if only it weren’t so far from home… Imagine wandering on the […]

Malacca, an explosion of colors

A vibrant old city, with a unique historical and cultural background, ancient capital of the Malay kingdom before the colonial era, Malacca was our favorite place in Malaysia. With its center listed as UNESCO World Heritage, the city is an explosion of colors with mixed architectures, cultures, religions. Having been strategically located on the Malacca […]

Cameron Highlands

Fresh, breathable air, chilly temperature, the smell of fresh grass!!! We missed you, dear mountains! After many islands, seaside, beaches…that was our thought when we first reached Tanah Rata, the main town in the Cameron highlands area. And after the check-in in our hotel, we immediately went for a walk in the forest. It took […]

Beautiful Georgetown

After Langkawi, Malaysia continues to delight us with beautiful places, full of history, culture and nice smiling people. Georgetown is the capital of one of the 14 states of Malaysia, Penang Island, being one of the most important settlements on the Malacca Strait. It is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site and it really deserves […]

Langkawi, center of kindness

The world still surprises me and offers reasons to smile and to believe the humanity is not lost in individualism and negative feelings. Langkawi gave me several real occasions to see that people still love and care about each other. In this post I will not say anything about the beauty of the island (even […]
