If I tell you Jordan, what do you think about? Let me guess… Petra? Most of the advertisement for Jordan is about Petra. And this is understandable because this is a stunning park (yes, it’s more than just the door you see on travelling magazines). But, despite being a very small country, Jordan has a lot to offer! And one of the places I was glad I discovered was Jerash!
Originally, I had planned to visit the Cinque Terre until Friday, but given our fast pace and the amazing weather, Anthéa and I had hiked to the last village, Riomaggiore, on Thursday. That meant that I had one bonus day in Liguria. The idea? Going to La Spezia by train, visit the city and the go on a boat trip to see the villages from another point of view.
Have you ever heard about the Cinque Terre? About Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore and Monterosso? These 5 villages are connected to one another through sinuous paths. You can travel by boat or train to visit them, or even better, you can hike!
Guys, I finally made it!!! After failing three times to go to Liguria’s jewel, I got to realize my dream. The first time, my friends bailed on me, the second time, a storm flooded the paths and the third time, well, Covid happened. So this time, I wasn’t sure of anything and I didn’t get my hopes up.
Whenever I drive from Toulouse to Poitiers, to see my parents, I see a lot of signs indicating that are cool places to see. Actually, that’s partly why I decided to visit the Gouffre de Padirac. Another sign I see everytime I drive on that road is “Rocamadour”. In March, as I was going to Poitiers to celebrate my father and my brother’s birthdays, I decided to stop in Rocamadour.
More and more people are asking me “How do you know where to go? Where do you find inspiration?”. Honestly, I never had to really look for a destination, it feels like there are always more places I want to visit, it’s endless. However, as this question keeps popping up, I decided I would try to answer it. So, I tried to look into my process, a process I’m not even conscious of.
Let’s continue our trip around Iceland’s Golden Circle. Last time, we ended the road at Geysir. Today, I introduce you to Gullfoss, which is really a good start for a Golden Circle since it literally means Golden Falls!
Have you ever heard of Iceland’s Golden Circle? It seems that, when it comes to tourism and geography, we do like geometry and gold.
If Tadoussac and Baie-Sainte-Catherine are well-known for whale watching, there are other places where you can observe them. For example, Iceland! You can book boat trips in Reykjavik or in Akureyri.
