Sharing my travel photography and reporting blog
Hi everyone.

Even though my blog has been online for nearly 18 years, I wanted to tweak the navigation a bit. The homepage still features a selection of "miscellaneous" photos on various wildlife subjects I’ve photographed or trips I’ve taken. https://www.toucan-photo.com/fr/

Toucan’s photos

From each photo, you can navigate to the selection for that country, a specific category (birds, night skies, etc.), or the year the photo was taken.

And of course, from the main menu, you can access an interactive map with articles or different selections from the site, all plotted on a map.

What do you think? Does the map work properly for you? Any navigation issues on smartphones and/or tablets?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Launching my travel blog
Hi there,

I recently launched a travel blog where I write articles about each of my trips. Plus, I try to make a video about each one on my YouTube channel.

The goal of this travel blog is to help others, share my great tips, and simply let my readers travel vicariously through my posts.

I’m new to this and learning day by day. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

That’s all from TardtineVoyage—here to serve—and I’ll see you soon on YouTube and the blog 😉

One-Month Trip to Namibia from April 23 to May 24, 2025
Hi everyone,

Here’s a blog about a one-month trip for two in Namibia that we took very recently, planned in the third quarter of 2024. The blog covers general considerations for planning, the itinerary we chose, and then the stops we made in chronological order, with links to the photos and videos we took. It also includes links to the campsites and lodges where we stayed, as well as links to activities we didn’t do on our own. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Cycling Thread – Europe’s Most Beautiful Bike Paths
Hi there! I’m Simon, and for years I’ve been exploring some of Europe’s most beautiful and well-equipped bike paths. My passion for cycling led me to start a blog where I share my travel impressions, practical tips, and photos taken along the way. I ride both well-known routes like the Alpe-Adria, the Loire à Vélo, and the Rhein Route, as well as lesser-known but equally charming regions.



In my stories, I pay special attention to the quality of infrastructure, cyclist safety, and route accessibility—for young and old, experienced riders and beginners alike. I love discovering and sharing spots that are truly welcoming for cycle tourists: well-marked, with rest areas and easy train access.

On the blog, you’ll find ready-to-follow route suggestions, tips for preparing your bike trips, and plenty of inspiration for your next adventures. I travel with my panniers, a camera in the front bag, and always keep an eye out for what’s around me. Feel free to check out my blog, Cycling Thread—you might find some ideas for your next bike getaway! :-)

I hope this won’t just be a one-off post—I’ll try to share our bike trips with you here regularly. To start: our May trip on the Elberadweg, the queen of German bike paths, between the stunning city of Dresden and Magdeburg. I invite you to visit:

Elberadweg in Germany – From Dresden to Magdeburg

The Elbe bike path is about 1200 km long, following the river from its source in the Giant Mountains in the Czech Republic to its mouth in Cuxhaven, on the North Sea. The route crosses a variety of landscapes: mountain valleys, vineyards, open plains, and coastline. As is often the case in Germany, the signage is excellent and the route easy to follow.

But what surprised us was the number of cobblestone sections! Sure, the cobblestones are well-laid and fairly smooth—but they’re still cobblestones. And when they disappear, they’re often replaced by concrete slabs, typical of river dikes. That’s just part of the face of this 30-year-old "queen"—a heritage that’s hard to replace entirely with fresh asphalt.

Along the way, don’t miss the many cultural highlights. Dresden impresses with its restored old town, the Frauenkirche, and the Brühl Terraces along the Elbe—it’s one of Germany’s most elegant cities. In Meissen, you can visit the famous porcelain factory and its Gothic cathedral. Wittenberg is a must-stop to follow in Martin Luther’s footsteps, with its castle church and Reformation Museum. And to finish, in Dessau-Roßlau, besides the Bauhaus, don’t miss the stunning Dessau-Wörlitz landscape gardens—one of the oldest English-style parks in Europe.

A few photos to give you a feel for the route and inspire you to check out our blog! :-)











Happy cycling!

Exploring the Mekong Delta by Motorcycle
Among the road trips through breathtaking landscapes you can take in Southeast Asia—Thailand, for example, and especially Vietnam, where it’s possible to complete three legendary circuits in completely different environments—I highly recommend the Mekong Delta off the tourist trail!

This route is easy to follow, and travelers can use the travel journal and interactive map that MyAtlas, now a Voyage Forum partner, kindly published. For those who want more details, the full day-by-day account of the route, including mileage, is now available on the BOD bookstore. This practical little guide to a lived adventure zooms in on a region that’s still relatively unknown and packed with extra insights from someone who’s spent over twelve years in Southeast Asia.

Legendary Routes and Trails for a Vietnam Road Trip
Among the many road trips you can take by motorbike in Vietnam through breathtaking landscapes and making unforgettable encounters, these three circuits on legendary routes and trails are entirely doable—but best done in the dry season to avoid tropical downpours and flooded or muddy road sections.

These circuits are "classics," and you can also add "The Mekong Delta," which is easy to explore off the beaten path since it’s mostly on paved, flat, and sometimes straight roads. For those who’ve completed one of these circuits, we’d love to hear about your experience! !

Travel Journal in the Nordic Countries
Hello,

Just a little update on November 1st, 2024!

Back in 2003, we traveled through Norway all the way to the Lofoten Islands, and four years later in 2007, we set off again to explore Finland and Norway in Lapland.

In 2018, we revisited Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

I hope you get the chance to discover these wonderful Nordic countries one day. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Happy reading,

Vivien
