About this blog

The purpose of this blog is to share my itinerary, pictures and anecdotes with friends and family. It is certainly not my objective to report step by step exactly what is happening. I will rather focus on funny, inappropriate, outrageous, witty, disgusting details while sharing some pictures that I particularly enjoyed taking. Hope you will like it!
