Les Rocheuses… un mythe ! Que ce soit pour ses reliefs, sa faune, sa neige légendaire, les X games, ou le classique « The Other Side of Aspen », les rocheuses ont toujours été pour moi une source de fantasmes et de fascination. J’ai enfin pu bravé ses voies que je pensais impénétrables… mais c’est les états unis… ! Continue reading
I will unveil and share my little travelling secrets with you. Continue reading
Sault-Ste-Marie is both in Ontario and Michigan, but look totally different on either side. The only thing they have in common is the nickname: the ‘Soo’. The border is formed by river St-Mary that flows from Lake Superior to the North Channel of the Lake Huron. A long suspended bridge can take you across.

When I told people in Toronto I was heading to the Bruce peninsula, most of them had no clue what it was. Getting there was a little difficult and costly, but I got more that I bargained for. If you like nature, hiking, swimming in pristine water, nice white sandy beaches or more rocky coves; well get ready because it has all to offer… Continue reading
Les locaux le disent, ces gros orages répétés – en moyenne un par semaine depuis que je suis arrivé à Montréal – ne sont pas coutumes dans l’est canadien. Toronto a été victime de pluies torentielles cet été causant d’importantes inondations à répétition. Continue reading
Le Canada a décidé de retirer de la circulation le ‘sou noir’, la pièce de un cent, dit un ‘sou’. La plus petite pièce devient donc celle de cinq sous. Une situation qui rend rare le fait de pouvoir payer en espèce le prix affiché à la caisse… Continue reading
Arrivé le 24 juin, je m’apprête à quitter le belle province de Québec ce vendredi pour commencer mon périple d’un mois à travers une petite partie du Canada et des USA. J’ai passé un mois à Montréal à apprivoiser la ville, tenter de comprendre le Québec et les Québecois. Je vais tenter de faire un bref résumer ici de mon expérience. Continue reading

After a slight diversion in my travel, that included a short seasonaire job in a ski resort in the French Alps and one month in Paris, I am now posted in London. Continue reading
There is a 4km walk or taxi ride from the town of Lagodekhi to the border. On the Georgian side, there are shops with drinks and food, and you change change money easily.
This passage is not very busy, and crossing on foot was rather fast. But on the Azerbaijan side, there is NOTHING! Absolute desert! No shop, no currency exchange There is a mashrutka though that will take you to Qax if you have money!
I had to let the mashrutka go as it was already crammed with people. After a short wait I got a ridiculous offer from a private driver to take me to Zakatalan for AZN 20 (=EUR 20), which I obviously tried to negociate to AZN 10, but he refused.
Eventually I turned to taxis which were coming and going from time to time regurlarly, and offered AZN 10 for the ride to Zakatalan. It was accepted too quickly, and I cursed myself for being such a bad bargainer… Nevertheless, I really needed to get to the city to exchange or draw money, so this was a comfortable option.
