Tennis fan and of the great Roger Federer, I could not miss the Australian Open! I finally stayed 1 month in Melbourne unsuccessfully trying to find a job, before relocating to the bush. To buy your tickets It is very important to buy places only on the officiel website of the Australian Open. And it’s from October. You will find lots of sites on Google that will sell you 2 to 3x more expensive instead and without any guarantee (same…
After my little getaway at Jervis bay,I spent a few days in Canberra before heading to Melbourne. I took the Greyhound bus from Sydney to the capital! Accomodation and transport Canberra is more a city for workers and students. There is only a little tourism but for me it was still important to visit the capital of this beautiful country. The accomodation offer is therefore quite reduced, I took a bed in the hostel YHA (it’s rather the top of…
After my short stay in Sydney I wanted to bask in the sun on the beautiful beaches of Jervis Bay! Access from Sydney and accommodation Concretely, even if there are buses that go nearby, it’s still not easy to get there by public transport. So I decided to rent a car (via Budget) from Sydney. Jervis Bay is about 2.5 hours from Sydney, I opted for the toll-free GPS option. I don’t know exactly if there are tolls on this…
Now that I’m back in France, I will have more time to write my articles about my stay in Australia! It was not the first time I went there (Melbourne/GOR in may and Sydney for the marathon). But this time I stayed a few months! Starting with Sydney! The NY eve Accomodation To celebrate the transition in 2019, I dreamed of seeing the fireworks of Sydney. It’s a bit like the dream showed every year to French TV news. Obviously…
When I came back from my long trip I am often asked what I most liked. Not easy to answer as I saw totally different landscapes. One of my relatives asked me “my top 3” and it gave me the idea to make my top 33 of the world (of what I saw for now ^ ^) on the occasion of my 33 Years 🙂 . Top 33 : the cities 9 city places stand out, mainly in Europe, more…
After my Vipassana meditation retirement (I’ll come back to that), I still had a few days in New Zealand before going to Sydney for the new years eve! I first spent Christmas Eve in Auckland (a colleague loaned me her house) before renting a car (Budget, I recommend!). The weather being unpredictable difficult to plan the trip in advance. But I had a big dream: see the mounts of the North Island with the sun 😅. PS: It’s with a…
At the end of my WHV in New Zealand I had 3 weeks to “fill” before coming back for a Vipassana meditation retreat. I chose the Philippines, the nearest destination and therefore the cheapest from NZ. To get to the Philippines I took a ticket with China Southern Airlines. Little wrong note on the way, my flight Auckland-Guangzhou was canceled and they put me on the flight after. Regardless of the fact that it was impossible to have my Guangzhou-Manila…
On the way back from Apo Island I wanted to take extra time to be sure not to miss my international flight. I first spent a night in Dumaguete before returning to Manila and visiting intramuros. Finally no issues with transport during my trip! Dumaguete From Apo Island I shared a boat with French couple who negotiated a boat for 1500 (500 per person so). After the wet cross, I walked to the main road to Malatapay and took the…
During my stay in the Philippines I wanted to see turtles in their natural environment. After some research, it turned out that Apo Island was a good destination. The turtles are visible close to the beach by snorkeling! Accommodation and crossing from Siquijor To make make it easier I had booked in the same resort than Siquijor. You have to know that it’s difficult to communicate in advance with hotels on the island because they have very slow internet and there are…
I heard a lot of good things about the island of Siquijor and especially by its quiet side tourism. In addition it is the island witches so do not be surprised not to cross too many Filipino tourists here (while they still travel quite a lot in their country). They rather fear this island. Arrival on the island From Bohol there is a daily ferry to this island. It arrives in the city of Larena. On this island I a little…
