12 FAÇONS D'ÉNERVER UN CORSE
Les clichés ont la peau dure ; beaucoup de gens sont persuadés que les Corses ont le sang chaud et s’offensent pour un rien.
Ce n’est bien sûr qu’une image d’Épinal, mais si vous voulez énerver un Corse, vous pouvez toujours tenter une des méthodes suivantes.
1. DEMANDER AU SERVEUR DE DIVISER LA NOTE.
En Corse, demander au serveur de faire des additions pour que chacun puisse payer uniquement ce qu’il a consommé est assez mal vu.
Ne faites pas ça si vous dînez avec des amis corses.
L’argent est généralement un sujet délicat.
Être généreux, dépenser sans compter est pour les Corses une marque de politesse.
2. ALLER AU SUPERMARCHÉ EN MAILLOT DE BAIN.
Si vous voulez passer pour une cloche et agacer les gens, promenez-vous au supermarché en tenue de plage, maillot de bain dégoulinant et sable encore collé sur le dos.
Aucun Corse qui se respecte n’irait en maillot de bain n’importe où ailleurs qu’à la plage.
3. MENTIONNER VOTRE ADMIRATION POUR NAPOLÉON.
Les continentaux, pleins de bonnes intentions, croient souvent faire plaisir à leurs interlocuteurs corses en mentionnant l’Empereur natif d’Ajaccio.
Or les Corses n’ont que peu d’admiration pour Napoléon, qui, poussé par sa dévorante ambition personnelle et familiale, a toujours négligé son île natale pour se consacrer à sa formidable carrière européenne, forgeant ainsi un Empire français et distribuant terres et distinctions aux membres de sa famille et à ses amis proches.
4. PASCAL QUI ?
Les Corses vous citeront certainement Pascal Paoli comme un meilleur exemple de Corse célèbre.
Il a été un personnage important et connu en Europe à l’époque des Lumières, les programmes d’histoire ont tendance à négliger la Corse et à occulter les faits importants qui la concernent.
Or Paoli est LE héros, LE personnage historique de la Corse.
IL est aux Corses ce que Simon Bolivar est à l’Amérique du sud, ce que Thomas Jefferson est aux Américains : le « Babbu di a Patria », le père de la patrie.
5. DIRE QUE LES CORSES SONT IMPOLIS.
La Corse est un pays qui a subi en permanence des hordes d’envahisseurs divers et variés à travers les âges : les Romains, les Goths, les Sarrasins, les Vandales, les Génois, puis les Français, la Corse a toujours été occupée, conquise par la violence.
Toujours conquise, jamais soumise, dit l’adage populaire.
Au plus profond de la psyché corse se niche une certaine peur de ce qui vient de l’extérieur.
Ceci dit, la Corse a assimilé une grande part de ses envahisseurs et a toujours été capable de fabriquer des Corses.
Si vous brisez la glace, les Corses peuvent être incroyablement gentils, généreux et solidaires.
S’ils ouvrent à vous, ils le font sans réserve et offrent une amitié authentique.
6. ROULER COMME UNE LIMACE.
Nos routes sont étroites et pleines de virages, ce qui rend les dépassements rares et difficiles.
En pleine saison, il suffit d’une personne qui roule à la moitié de la vitesse autorisée pour former une queue interminable de véhicules.
Cela rend les gens dingues et ils ont tendance à prendre des risques inconsidérés pour se débarrasser des charrettes, ce qui peut vite devenir dangereux.
En Corse nous klaxonnons pour dire bonjour à un ami ; vous ne connaissez personne, ne klaxonnez pas !
7. DORMIR DANS VOTRE VOITURE SUR UN PARKING.
Si vous voulez passer pour un boulet aux yeux des Corses, dormez dans votre voiture sur un parking pendant votre séjour, mangez des sandwichs faits maison tout le temps sans jamais aller dans un restaurant, bref, soyez aussi avares que possible. De toute façon le bivouac et le camping sauvage sont interdits sur toute l’île.
L’attitude Picsou, on l’a dit, est une grave offense en Corse.
Il y a un mot corse spécial pour cette catégorie de touristes, on les appelle les pumataghji, c’est-à-dire les mangeurs de tomates.
8. COMPARER LES CORSES AUX ITALIENS.
Si vous comparez sans cesse la Corse à l’Italie, et les Corses aux Italiens, vous risquez d’en agacer plus d’un.
La Corse a été génoise durant de nombreux siècles, bien plus longtemps qu’elle n’a été française à ce jour.
Pisans et Génois ont laissé leur empreinte sur l’architecture et la toponymie de la Corse, la plupart des noms de familles sont originaires de la péninsule, certains remontent même au temps des Romains, et l’italien est restée la langue officielle jusqu’au milieu du 19e siècle.
Cependant, les Corses ont toujours eu des sentiments mitigés vis-à-vis de leurs voisins et cousins de la péninsule.
L’occupation génoise, particulièrement brutale, a laissé de mauvais souvenirs et plus récemment, la période mussolinienne a provoqué un certain ressentiment vis-à-vis de l’Italie qui voulait purement et simplement annexer la Corse.
9. DIRE QUE LA LANGUE CORSE EST UN DIALECTE ITALIEN.
Le Corse est une langue latine romane apparentée aux dialectes italiens (et beaucoup d’Italiens vous diront que leur dialecte est une langue).
Elle est même plus proche du toscan, qui a donné naissance à l’italien standard, que bien des dialectes de la péninsule.
Toutefois, le nord et le sud de l’île présentent des mots, des termes et des versions différents ; l’accent dans l’extrême sud présentant plus de similitudes avec les langues du sud de l’Italie.
10. DIRE QUE VOUS AVEZ PEUR DE VENIR EN CORSE À CAUSE DE LA VIOLENCE.
C’est probablement une des choses les plus irritantes que vous puissiez dire à un Corse.
La vérité, c’est que si vous n’êtes pas dans le business du crime organisé, vous n’avez absolument rien à craindre en Corse, où la délinquance de droit commun est extrêmement basse. Même si il y a un % de voitures blindées qui dépasse largement le % en Arabie Saoudite ou les pays du Golfe.
Cambriolages, vols à l’arrachée ou agressions sexuelles dans les transports en commun, la Corse semblerait être épargnée par tous ces fléaux des grandes villes.
On peut pratiquement laisser les clés sur sa voiture mais pas son arme à feu dans la boîte à gants.
Bonus à vérifier : si vous êtes une femme, vous n’avez aucune crainte à avoir pour votre sécurité physique, les Corses sont très respectueux des femmes et malheur à ceux qui les agressent.
Si vous êtes un homme, n’essayez même pas d’être lourd avec une nana, ça peut mal finir.
Les Corses sont très fiers de cette situation, cela les console de bien des choses.
Gare à ceux qui porteraient atteinte à cette tranquillité.
11. CRITIQUER LA CORSE.
Si vous ne voulez pas finir avec trois dents en moins, évitez toute critique virulent de l’île de Beauté devant des Corses. Seuls les Corses on le droit de critiquer le « « pays ami ».
Comme le dit l’adage populaire, « il y a deux types d’individus dans le monde : les Corses et ceux qui rêvent de l’être ».
Plus sérieusement, après des siècles d’histoire violente et d’exil, les Corses demeurent très attachés à leur île.
Cet amour inconditionnel de la terre natale est sans doute ce qui nous unit par-delà nos différences.
La Corse manque à un Corse comme le paradis manquait à Adam et Eve.
Tout Corse a un village, qu’il considère comme le jardin d’Éden.
Beaucoup d’exilés ne peuvent même pas envisager de passer leurs vacances ailleurs.
Alors certes, les Corses sont assez chauvins, mais qui ne l’est pas ?
Là où un continental ne verra que des chiffres, nous, nous sentons l’odeur du maquis après une chaude journée d’été, nous voyons la beauté d’un lever de soleil sur les sommets, le bleu de la mer dans un golfe, le goût du miel du maquis sur une tartine, et toutes ces choses qui font que la Corse restera pour nous à jamais le plus beau pays du monde, et que nous sommes incroyablement heureux d’y être nés.
Comme disait l'humoriste bastiais Pido dans le film l’Enquête corse :
« Peut-on critiquer les Corses ?
- Oui, on peut,
- Mais il faut pas le faire ! »
12 TÉLÉPHONER À L'HEURE DE LA SIESTE.
Chez nous il fait chaud, après le repas nous apprécions un moment de repos.
Et le repos chez nous est sacré.
"Celui qui a atteint son but a manqué tout le reste"
Très bonnes remarques, quoique le maillot de bain dans les supermarchés ne soit pas non plus bien vu ailleurs.
On pourrait y rajouter : aborder le sujet de l'autonomie😕.
Pour ce qui est de partager l'addition, les Corses ont le comportement oriental : les Géorgiens, par exemple, sont sur la même longueur d'onde. Soit vous invitez et vous assumez, soit vous ne faites rien... Mais partager l'addition est une goujaterie.
.Au plus profond de la psyché corse se niche une certaine peur de ce qui vient de l’extérieur.
D’où, sans doute, les nombreux IFF qui fleurissaient sur l’île...
Mais, bien que balanin d’origine, cela fait une dizaine d’années que je ne suis pas revenu sur l’île. Cela a peut-être changé ?
IFF signifie "I Figatelli Fora" (dehors les figatelli !). lol
Sérieusement, il y en a toujours mais moins. Idem pour "le cercueil ou la valise" ou "Arabi fora", "Forza Bastia", "SCB vaincra"... Sans compter les quelques boîtes taguées ou explosées qui servent de machine à sous en bord de routes (les radars) !
"Celui qui a atteint son but a manqué tout le reste"
Je suis allée en Corse il y a très longtemps maintenant et, alors qu'autour de moi on m'annonçait des personnes fort désagréables, un accueil déplorables, je garde un excellent souvenir de la gentillesses des personnes que nous avons pu cotoyées. C'était le mois de juin, nous étions ma soeur et moi deux jeunes filles un peu perdues au milieu des personnes âgées (avec qui on a quand même bien rigolé) et tous les corses du lieu où nous nous trouvions se sont décarcassés pour nous distraire... Mais bien sûr nous avions suivi toutes tes recommandations 😉
Bonjour Pat,
J’ai longtemps pratiqué la Corse, en couple puis en famille, dans les années 70/80. Nous avons cessé lorsque ont commencé à fleurir les tags « les français dehors », que la SNCM s’est révélée une catastrophe, et que des gros bras faisaient payer sans facture 30 francs de l’époque une pizza mal dégelée.
Je conserve des souvenirs éblouissants de baignades dans la Restonica ou le Golo, de truites péchées avec l’aide d’un garde forestier, de plages ou de criques sublimes, de hautes vallées fraîches et de forêts somptueuses.
Y retourner un jour ? Peut-être.....
PS. Sur votre point 10, et concernant la gent féminine, l’actualité récente dément votre affirmation. Mais il y a des affreux partout.
Many of us have noticed that bugs have been making it difficult to navigate the forum lately.
I’ll let Kate and Ticapi explain the issue:
I went to your profile to check out the Thailand travel journal, and when I clicked on it, it brought me back here again. All week, I’ve been dealing with bugs like this—it’s really discouraging from continuing on VF.🙁
I had the same thing happen, and multiple times. For me, it was Montagnard’s latest journal that kept coming up no matter which discussion I clicked on.
Hi everyone, fellow travelers!
I’m looking for anyone who’s in Kyoto or planning to visit Nishiki Market! Here’s the thing: during our trip there in April, we discovered a jewelry artisan (highly recommended!) on the left when exiting through the west exit of Nishiki Market (which is a long covered east-west street). I bought a piece of jewelry for my daughter there, but she lost it. I’d love to buy her another one! In the photo, it’s the shop with the yellow awning to the right of the restaurant with the blue awning, "Sushi Sakai." Would any kind soul be willing to get the shop’s name, email, or phone number for me? Despite my Google/AI searches, it’s nowhere to be found. A thousand thanks to whoever can help me out! Wishing you all great vacations!

Hello everyone! 🙂🙂,
A BIG thank you to all the travelers who sent us postcards this year—my students are becoming real geography whizzes!!!!!!!! I’m renewing my call for your kindness this year! We’re also working on food, so if your postcards can make our mouths water with local dishes, traditional meals, or typical recipes, that’d be amazing!!
Here’s a quick recap of the project:
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globetrotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse, working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m starting a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of the journal will focus on opening up to the world, diversity, travel, countries, culture...
I’m launching a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a little postcard (from France or anywhere in the world!) to take us on a journey and help us discover new places, countries, and horizons—much more fun and exciting than a regular geography textbook! One section of our journal could be called "We received mail from " and would be an opportunity to research that location and share what we learn with our readers (a super enriching activity in class).
The project starts in September 2025 but has no real end date, as this journal and world discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in my ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! (The kids will find them when they return.)
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow traveler friends. Make us dream, take us on a journey!!!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!!
Thank you in advance for your participation(s)! Below is our address. Feel free to leave your own address on a corner of the postcard if you’d like us to write back! 😊

Regarding the amount of tobacco you can buy during a trip in the European Union and bring back to France, we can't really talk about a "duty-free allowance," because the rules around how much tobacco you can bring back to France aren't straightforward at all under French law.
BOLIVIA: THE COUNTRY ON THE BRINK (What's Really Happening)
A dramatic saga is unfolding before our eyes in the Andes. Between suffocating blockades, clashes, an international airlift, and historic political decisions, Bolivia has just experienced 48 hours of rare intensity.
Here’s the full breakdown (economic, social, and political) of the last 48 hours:
For travelers and tourists: the article also includes an important note about the upcoming publication (starting tomorrow) of the precise status of roadblocks, route by route.
I’ll post the full update here on Voyage Forum!
Don’t miss this in-depth analysis. History is being written before our eyes! https://www.petitherge.com/bolivie-paralysie-et-ultimatum
I just discovered a great show on Arte.
It's called "7 en route": seven young European journalists travel around Europe in a fully converted bus, making reports on every city they visit. It's amazing! 🙂
Yesterday, for example, they were in Rome, Italy, and the reports included things like the world's smallest restaurant—a super romantic spot for two. There was also a report on the king of paparazzi in Italy.
They have to pick topics that let us discover the little quirks of each country. And at the end of each episode, we get to see the finished report.
It's such a great show, mixing journalism, travel, and discovery—basically, a must-watch!
It airs in the evening starting at 6:50 PM (I think), and it started this past Monday, July 14th.
If you watch it, let me know—we can chat about it!
I left my heart’s country eight days ago and returned to my adopted one—or was it the other way around? Scotland-Morvan, Morvan-Scotland, I’m not quite sure anymore.
After a quarter without dragging my slippers around here, even though I’d loudly declared I had no interest left in this site, here I am again!
My imagination never stays fallow for long. Just enough time for my inner land to rest. It gets overgrown with fresh nettles, the kind you can pick without getting stung. Then, it’s time to till the fragrant earth and let the story grow.
I hesitated over where to set this story.
Maybe the Highlands, maybe the Hebrides, maybe the Orkney Islands, maybe the Shetland Islands. All of Scotland is myth—easy to embroider.
But in the end, no. I’d almost be too afraid to bare my soul.
The story will take place at home. Simple, practical.
1)
This morning, I was up well before dawn, feeling a bit grumpy, but nothing a bowl of coffee won’t fix. I love my bowl, and no one dares take it. It’s porcelain, edged with intertwined blue flowers. On the bottom, it says "Revol." The factory has existed long before the Revolution. It was my great-grandmother’s bowl. She drank roasted barley from it during the war, then her Leroux chicory.
Last year, a little guy dropped it. My bowl broke into three pieces. A black anger vibrated deep inside me. The little boy was so upset, on the verge of tears. How could I scold him!
I picked up the three pieces and took Little Boy in my arms. His hair smelled of the light, sweet sweat of toddlers. A gentle hug that healed—his budding sorrow and my anger—everything vanished, and time carried on.
Today, my bowl is even prettier. Man fixed it using the traditional kintsugi technique, except he didn’t use gold powder or lacquer but superglue, and he delicately painted the cracks with woad blue. And my bowl is even more beautiful now.
I’m lingering, I can tell—it’s just that a story wraps itself in life, and life can’t be told in the snap of a finger. Life is long. Like in architecture, you start with a rough sketch, called a "sous-cul" (the initial pencil drawing), then you make a tracing, which is the work itself, the one you later carefully roll up in a wooden tube.
Life is like that: you erase, you start over, you use the nub of the pencil until it’s tiny, but you keep going—dreaming, loving.
"Living is a full-time occupation, a unique adventure. Always a surprise and a wonder, which sometimes turns into astonishment. And, from time to time, happiness."*
Alright, enough digressing—this introduction is definitely too long.
Tomorrow, I’ll get to the heart of the matter.
(I hate that expression; it feels like I’m cutting into someone’s skin.)
I’m Yann, a 28-year-old TikToker who loves traveling!
Since I’ve been to several destinations, I’d love to get a flag from each one as a sort of trophy. But from what I’ve seen online, a lot of sites sell them with what looks like really poor quality...
So I’m reaching out to you all to share a site you usually use—help me start my collection! :)
hi there
I’d love to get some opinions—I’ve never used Airbnb before.
They’re offering a key handover via lockbox.
Any tips or advice?
Is it reliable?
Best,
Hi there, I’m Laura, and I’m looking for a few people to answer some questions so I can understand your travel wishes and challenges. It won’t take long—I can chat here, by email, or by phone. Don’t worry, I’m not selling anything! 😊
On this forum, we talk a lot about trekking in the Himalayas, but I’d love to share another side of Nepal: its spiritual, cultural, and religious atmosphere, especially in Kathmandu.
Nepal, much like Tibet and Bhutan, is deeply connected to the Himalayas—the ultimate sacred mountain range. This small country exudes a calming vibe, shaped by a strong spiritual dimension. What I loved most was the unique sensory experience you get there. Walking around temples and tantric monasteries, a distinct scent fills the air—aromatic plants used for ritual fumigation. Locals mainly burn Himalayan juniper, cedar, sandalwood, and other local essences. This fragrant smoke is a way to purify the space and reach the deities, and you’re constantly enveloped in these aromas.
Another striking aspect is the sound. As soon as you step outside, you hear bells ringing in front of temples. People ring them three times before praying to announce their presence to the deities. Nepal is also the birthplace of singing bowls and sound meditation practices. In Kathmandu, you can easily find meditation sessions or "sound baths."
The spiritual dimension is everywhere: a Hindu sadhu practicing asceticism, a lama in deep red robes with his mala, turning a prayer wheel while murmuring "Om mani padme hum." Newar Buddhism, Tantrism, and Hinduism coexist harmoniously in daily life.
For those who love exploring a destination through its culture and spirituality, Nepal is an unforgettable place. What was your spiritual experience in Nepal like?
Hi,
I’m landing in Quebec and then heading to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I’d like to rent a pick-up. My question is: does this vehicle come with a cover and is it secure enough to store luggage in? I’ve heard two conflicting opinions. Thanks
I just installed the Maps.Me app on my phone. I only recently found out about this app. I’m traveling in 2 weeks and a few days, and I’m a bit stuck on how to use it.
I’m from the Montreal (Quebec) area, and I’d love to know if there’s a kind soul out there who could help me get started and use the app at least minimally.
If there are private lessons available, I’d be interested in those too.
Like many others, I’m overjoyed to hear that VoyageForum is reopening! I’ve been waiting hopefully for this, and it’s wonderful that it’s finally happening!
I just couldn’t bring myself to actively participate in other French-language travel forums—their format and way of doing things never appealed to me as much. I really hope that VF’s structure, categories, and interface won’t change too much despite the handover, because I’m very attached to them. Through thick and thin, the site has held strong—it’s amazing!
In a previous message, François mentioned that there were positions to fill ahead of the reopening, including moderators...
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this and hoping to send in my CV.
Now, after reading the latest message, it seems like the team is already fully formed. But are there still a few spots left to fill?
I’ve been a VF member for 20 years (since 2004). I’d love to contribute to this wonderful adventure as a moderator if VF would trust me with the role. If the team is open to reviewing it, I’m ready to send my CV. Could you let me know the next steps?
I’m planning a 3-week trip to Japan in May with Voyage Privé. The package includes a 5 GB eSIM, but my phone isn’t new enough to support it. VP told me I could buy a SIM card when I arrive at the airport.
Sure enough, I’ve seen online that this is possible with different providers.
I only need it for checking routes, looking up addresses, train schedules, etc.—basically using Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and similar apps. No heavy downloads or major internet use. All hotels should provide free Wi-Fi for that, right?
Has anyone got any tips for me on this? What have you tried, and how much did it cost?
Thanks for your help!
I’d like to know if you can buy reef-safe sunscreen sprays at 7-Eleven. If so, how much do they cost? We’re traveling with backpacks, so we’ll either buy 100ml here or in Thailand.
I wanted to share a really unpleasant experience from our last trip booked with Promoséjours and organized by FTI.
We booked an 8-day/7-night stay in Egypt, from June 8 to 15.
The flight initially scheduled was changed a week before departure to take off at 10 PM from Paris CDG.
In the end, it took off with a 1-hour delay and included an unmentioned stopover in Marsa Alam.
We landed in Hurghada at 4 AM and arrived at the hotel at 6 AM.
So, we spent our first night on the plane.
For the return trip, surprise—the flight was moved up. We left the hotel at 10:30 PM on Friday the 14th to take off at 2 AM and land at 7 AM at Paris CDG.
So, we spent our last night on the plane too.
After sending a complaint letter to Promoséjours / FTI, they replied that the first and last days can be dedicated to transport (which I already knew) and that no matter how many nights you book, you’re not guaranteed to spend them in the hotel—it could just as well be on the plane.
I’m really questioning this.
Isn’t there a law that protects customers in cases like this?
Because when I do the math, the first and part of the second day were spent on transport, same for the second-to-last and last day. And I paid for 7 nights for a stay that only lasted 5.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to them—thanks to their two sleepless nights in transit, I’m coming back even more exhausted from a trip that was supposed to be restful!
I also want to warn anyone booking through this agency about visas for Egypt.
At booking, they told me the visa was included in the price, then they sent me an email saying I’d have to pay for it on-site at 25 €.
Once there, we were directed to a special line for FTI customers, and guess what? They charged us 30 €!
Basically, they’re great at making sure you *enjoy* your vacation—mostly by enjoying your wallet!
If anyone has dealt with this kind of situation and won their case, I’m all ears.
Hi there!
I’m heading to Thailand for two months.
So I thought I’d get a Thai SIM card to use Google Maps for getting around cities, mostly.
Here’s my question: will this SIM affect my apps? Or will they work the same as with my Orange SIM?
Is there any setup I need to do, or can I just pop in the Thai SIM?
I’d also like to switch back to my Orange SIM now and then while I’m in Thailand—on the same phone. Will I need to reset the phone, or will it reconnect without any issues?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Best,
Huiclos
Hi, I’d like to know where we can buy beer or wine in Chefchaouen and around Merzouga. We’ll be doing a circuit and staying at the Parador Hotel in Chefchaouen and in a bivouac in Merzouga.
Thanks for any info you can share!
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globe-trotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m launching a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of this journal will focus on opening up to the world, embracing differences, travel, global cultures, and more.
I’m putting out a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a postcard (from France or anywhere in the world)! The goal is to help us "travel" and discover new places, countries, and horizons in a way that’s much more fun and exciting than a geography textbook. One section of our journal could be called "We received a letter from ," where we’d research the location and share what we learn with our readers—a really enriching activity for the classroom.
The project starts in September 2025 but doesn’t have a strict end date, since this journal and world-discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in the ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! The kids will find them when they return.
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible, and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow travelers. Help us dream and explore!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!
Thank you in advance for your participation! Below is our address. If you’d like us to write back, feel free to leave your address on a corner of the postcard! 😊

Hi there! I have to leave Ivato/Antananarivo on December 16th. I have a lot of ariary that I’d like to exchange for euros since I might not be coming back to Madagascar (after this 21st trip). I think the exchange office at Ivato also buys ariary back. If any of you have seen the rate for this buyback in advance, thanks a million!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a website that would let me plot my travel route in advance so I can print it out. The idea is to create a map with a little “me” on a bike that my parents can move along as I progress, since I’m planning to cycle all the way to Nepal.
If any of you have done something similar or know of a good tool, I’d love to hear your tips!
Thanks in advance! 😊
I'm looking to buy an ultra-lightweight 50/55L travel backpack with a suitcase or front opening.
Does anyone have any brand and/or model recommendations?
Thanks,

Hello. We’re a retired couple heading to Sri Lanka from January to March. After the November floods, I’d like to know if we can offer hands-on help to the locals, maybe pack some clothes or other items people might need in our luggage, and who we could give them to. Thanks for any info from those on the ground.
