Desert Trip in Morocco

Ready for a tour in one of the dryest place on Earth ? Yes, then follow me A while ago, I went to Morocco for a trek in the Atlas Mountain and I had a few days free before returning to my lovely Amsterdam, so I wanted to experience a night or two in the desert.

Moscow when you have only 3 days

Moscow with such a limited time, it’s a real challenge ! My time in Russia being limited and because I wanted to spend more time in Saint Petersburg (see my previous post), therefore I told myself that I should not miss the chance to see Moscow even for a very limited time. Well knowing that I had only 3 days/2 nights (including my travel from and to Saint Petersburg) to visit  this megalopolis (11 millions people), there was no doubt  [...]

Jose Rizal – National Hero of The Philippines

Jose Rizal is certainly one of the most popular icon in The Philippines When I was in Manila a few months ago, I went to the Rizal Luneta Park. Well I know, it’s pretty much a “tourist spot” for everyone coming in Manila, but somehow, it’s “MUST SEE” place in order to understand who was Jose Rizal. In the park, you have a full section dedicated to the national hero. One thing that striked me was the scene representing the [...]

Family with 2 kids looking for an Au Pair !

Over the last 10 years, I noticed a strong increase of Au-Pair coming from the Philippines in Europe. Having myself a kid of 9 years now, I was exploring at that time (when he was a toddler) with my partner the possibility to enroll to an Au Pair program but at the end we just found another way. The Au-Pair program provides an excellent way for families to have a nanny at home that can help them by taking care [...]
