I’ll be honest, I was a little scared about spending a month in Mexico. Not for any of the reasons people usually worry about. I was scared about the food. My only reference for Mexican food was what I’d eaten in California during a harvest season, and that version is huge portions, a lot of…
I hadn’t set foot in France for almost two years. Nine-ish harvests, four countries, a lot of airports, and somehow never a summer at home. So this year I finally came back to see my family and my friends, and because my boyfriend isn’t from my region and had a few days with me, I…
First time in New Zealand. First time on a real solo trip. First time sleeping alone in hostels. This trip was a lot of firsts, but mostly it was a kid who grew up obsessed with The Lord of the Rings finally going to see the place where the best trilogy ever made was filmed….
I bought my DJI Mini 3 in 2022. Four years, a lot of harvests, and way too many airports later, it’s still the drone in my bag. And here’s the thing that surprises people: if I had to buy a drone today, in 2026, with everything that exists on the market now, I would buy…
I went to Lombok expecting a slightly calmer Bali. That is not what Lombok is. Lombok is the island where you ride for two hours without crossing a single car, where the sunsets over the rice fields make you stop the scooter in the middle of the road, and where you sometimes go a full…
We landed on the Big Island after Kauai, with a rental car, a cooler, and the naive confidence of two people who thought they had Hawaii figured out. Seven days later we had watched lava fountain out of the ground at night, swim with turtles at a black sand beach with nobody else in the…
In this guide you’re going to meet the other Napa Valley, the one that doesn’t ask you to put aside half a year of salary just to have a good weekend. Let’s be honest, when people think about Napa Valley they picture prestigious estates and enormous second homes where Silicon Valley geniuses come to relax…
I’ll be honest with you from the first line, because there’s no point pretending otherwise: I did not fall in love with Puerto Vallarta. I spent a month in Mexico in December 2025, squeezed between a harvest contract in the US and the next one in New Zealand, and out of all the places I…
In this Amed travel guide: when to go to Amed, how to get there from the airport, where to sleep, where to swim, where to eat, and what to actually do once you’re there. I went to Bali in June 2025, in the gap between a harvest in the southern hemisphere and the next one…
Two of the most famous lakes above Cauterets, one very long day. Here’s how to link Lac de Gaube and Lac d’Estom in a single loop from La Raillère, with where to park, what to pack, and exactly how the trail unfolds. If you only have one day in Cauterets and you can’t decide which…
