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 😉

I just got back from a week in Mirleft, south of Agadir, and I felt like I’d stumbled upon an "off-the-beaten-path" Morocco: a raw Atlantic coastline, cliffs, endless beaches... and that slow pace that helps you unplug within 24 hours.
We had a house with a pool (the perfect combo when the wind picks up and the ocean cools the air), and then we alternated between: - Wandering the souk and alleyways (local vibe, regional products, and the big Monday souk if you can make it) - Surf sessions / scouting spots (depending on the swell and wind, it makes all the difference) - Wild beaches + viewpoints where you can settle far from the crowds - Legzira at sunset: the orange rock, the deep roar of the Atlantic, and that natural arch that seems to hold "by magic" - A little detour to Tiznit (45 min away): medina, silver craftsmanship, and an unexpected blue spring in the heart of the city - The mandatory "reset": hammam + massage after salt, sand, and road trips
I especially noted a bunch of details to avoid hassles: when to go (wind/weather), how to get around (a car is pretty much essential), what to watch out for on the road at night, and even super practical tips for summer accommodations.
If you want the full article with all the practical info + must-sees (and our tips to avoid mishaps), it’s here: https://aventures-sans-mesaventure.blogspot.com/2026/01/que-faire-mirleft-au-maroc-en-7-jours.html
Happy reading and/or safe travels! :)

We decided to leave.
To drop everything and try the adventure. The real deal? Not quite. We did some planning, skimmed through travel guides, and booked 4 nights.
But most importantly, we have a return flight.
The adventure has an end date. Like in any neat story, the parenthesis will close. The memory-making machine will run, feeding us for a while. For a long time, we hope. Helping us grow. But we know the machine will stop, leaving its faint scent lingering in our orderly lives, like a footprint in the sand.

Too often, people only spend a day or two in Cairo. I stayed for five days and wasn’t bored at all. I’m sharing my trip on my personal blog, hoping it might inspire you!

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! !

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!

Hi there,
Bali was a huge crush for me: the kindness of the local people, the culture, the rice terraces, the volcanoes, the beaches... Everything comes together for a dream trip. Even the crowded sites and the crowds don’t take away from its charm.
A few tips:
- visit the very famous sites as early as possible
- don’t book everything in advance so you can adapt your itinerary based on your mood
- enjoy Bali and the islands south of Bali—don’t waste one or two travel days heading to the Gili Islands, there’s already so much to discover

Hi there! Here’s an itinerary for Egypt if you want to combine beach time, snorkeling/diving, and cultural visits.
Hurghada is a great base for getting your PADI certification or just snorkeling—but that’s not all! There are plenty of other activities to do, and you’ll find all the details in this article:
https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/10/hurghada-le-paradis-de-la-plongee-egypte.html
After that, you can head to Luxor by minibus from Hurghada. Luxor is a cultural gem and the perfect spot for a hot-air balloon ride. I’ve covered all the sights and info in this article: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/10/louxor-en-2-jours-avec-un-guide-prive.html

Hi there,
After a trip to Brazil, I wrote an article about our stay in Rio. You’ll find all the tips for visiting this city in it: where to stay, what to see and how, and our thoughts on safety compared to everything we’d heard. We loved Rio and will definitely go back one day to experience Carnival. We visited in September, which seemed like the ideal time in terms of weather and tourist numbers (which were still reasonable). Our favorite: the Pedra da Gavea hike.

we just got back from 3 weeks in Cambodia with a custom trip organized by the Siem Reap agency; from the start, the agency understood our way of traveling and created an itinerary perfectly tailored to our needs. Of course, we visited tourist spots, but we also stayed with locals, met artisans, and explored markets where not a single tourist goes. We were pampered from beginning to end—the agency responded quickly to our questions throughout the trip. The French-speaking guides were fantastic: attentive, highly knowledgeable, and always accompanied by punctual drivers with little thoughtful touches. The hotels they chose matched our preferences, and the pace we wanted was respected, with some more relaxed days.

Hi there, my partner and I did a road trip in Oman in January 2025 with a 4x4 and a rooftop tent. We only slept in free spots out in nature. It’s essential to have a 4x4 to experience this. The *Oman Off Road* book was a huge help—we bought it locally. I’ve written up our whole adventure and shared all our tips on my blog, including GPS coordinates to help you find campsites or even cross the desert on your own. Here’s the link: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2025/02/notre-itineraire-de-10-jours-oman-en.html

This city has been described a thousand times, but never in such an irreverent way.
Daring to drop Christian Lacroix, his *arlésiennes*, his boleros, his matadors, and the baroque style of his native Camargue right into the heart of Hoi An—it took some guts to draw that parallel.

The second article on Hoi An is just as punchy:

Hi there! 😊
We just got back from two weeks in Madagascar, and before we left, we had *so* many practical questions. Between the sometimes contradictory info online and the lack of recent updates on certain topics, it wasn’t always easy to know what to expect for a first trip there.
So, after returning, I put together an article with all the info I wish I’d had before heading to Madagascar—just concrete tips based on our experience there.
I cover: • Visa and arrival at Antananarivo airport • Currency exchange, withdrawals, and payments on the ground • Transportation and real travel times • Health and trip prep • SIM cards, budget, and general organization • Mistakes and little hassles you can easily avoid on your first trip
The goal was to create a practical, honest guide to help people planning their trip and avoid a few unpleasant surprises once they’re there! 😊

Hi everyone,
I just got back from a 10-day trip to Albania, and I wanted to share a great discovery for those looking for spots still untouched by mass tourism: the Karaburun peninsula.
It’s a pretty wild area, with impressive cliffs, coves only accessible by boat, and water in an incredible shade of blue. It’s easy to get there from Vlora, by water taxi or on an excursion.
For accommodation, we preferred staying in Vlora itself, which makes it easy to explore the region without moving around too much.
I put together a little practical guide for those interested (with info on access, beaches, boat tips, etc.): 👉 Karaburun
If you’ve also visited the area or have other little-known spots to recommend in the region, I’d love to hear about them! 😊

Hello 😊
If you're planning 10 days in Madeira and feeling unsure about the itinerary, my first tip would be: don’t try to “tick everything off.” The island is compact, but the roads are winding and hikes take time.
For 10 days, I’d structure the trip into 3 zones:
East (Ponta de São Lourenço + Pico do Arieiro) for spectacular volcanic landscapes
Central (levadas + Fanal forests) for hiking
West (Porto Moniz, cliffs, sunsets) for raw panoramas And save Funchal for early mornings or late afternoons.
A car is essential, and checking the weather ahead is key—it changes quickly with altitude. I’ve broken all this down (optimized route, travel times, parking spots, hike difficulty, what to do based on weather, mistakes to avoid…) in this post: 👉 https://aventures-sans-mesaventure.com/visiter-madere-1-semaine/ Even though it’s built for a week, it adapts easily to 10 days by adding more hikes or slowing the pace. If you’re looking for a balance between breathtaking nature, hiking, and quieter moments, Madeira is a real safe bet.

In June 2025, I walked across the Larzac, following the footsteps of the decade-long struggle that pitted a handful of farmers and citizens from all walks of life against the army and the government from 1971 to 1981.
Six days of trekking along the GR71D through a landscape shaped by agropastoral traditions, Caussenard farms, and Templar and Hospitaller fortresses, visiting iconic sites and meeting the historical figures of the struggle. I also met those who keep this plateau alive today. Full story:

Here’s one of our favorite cities in South America. I didn’t dare call it the "capital" because it’s pretty complex for this city.
When I set foot in La Paz, I was immediately struck by its bustling energy and striking contrasts. Perched at over 3,600 meters above sea level, the city blends tradition and modernity in a surprising way. We wandered between the colonial buildings of Plaza Murillo, discovered the secrets of the Witches’ Market with its mysterious potions and amulets, and gained some altitude thanks to the cable car, which offers incredible views of the city and the mountains. For thrill-seekers, we tested the famous Death Road by mountain bike—adrenaline was definitely on tap! Of course, the altitude can be a challenge, so in my article, I also share tips for acclimatizing, great places to stay, and detailed itineraries to make the most of your trip, whether you’re there for a day or three. Anyway, during our trip, we realized that the city is often used as a quick stopover where people don’t linger. And that’s a real shame. Out of 3 weeks in Bolivia, we spent 3 full days in the city and would’ve happily stayed longer. If you want to know more, check it out here: 👉 Read the full article

Hi there,
I wanted to share my experience at the BMW Museum with you. If you're a fan of the brand or just curious about the history of automobiles, this museum is really worth a visit!
From the first BMW motorcycles to racing cars and the legendary production models, the museum traces the brand's history.
You'll find the entire BMW universe through videos, sound installations, and 3D reconstructions of engines.
Plan for at least 2 hours to visit. And there’s the Olympiapark nearby to check out too!.
All the info on the BMW Museum in Munich is on this link, along with photos.
During our stay in Lanzarote, we spent a few days in Fuerteventura. We particularly loved:
- The short hike up Volcán Calderon Hondo
- The center of the island, with a stop in Betancuria while driving along the stunning FV30 road
- The unmissable Cofete, a real end-of-the-world vibe. Everyone seems to get there at their own risk in a rental car, by the way.
- The Mirador de Sicasumbre is our favorite viewpoint on Fuerteventura
For the beaches, I’d say you can sum it up like this: the east coast is windy with calm waters, while the west coast is less windy but has big waves.
- East coast beaches: Sotavento and Corralejo - West coast beaches: La Pared and Cofete
No issues bringing our rental car from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Buenos Aires' oldest book temple opens its doors to you! (11-minute video)
What if we traveled back in time right to the heart of the colonial period? In this new video from Studio Petit Hergé, we take you for a stroll through the legendary "Librería" de Ávila, hidden just steps from Plaza de Mayo and right across from the city’s very first Jesuit college.
Between dangerously sloping basement shelves and the scent of old paper with my guest François, it’s the very soul of Buenos Aires that unfolds!
Come get lost with us in the stacks right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz-hwhIZ_FA
I’m looking forward to your comments—and your ideas if you’d like me to explore another spot in the capital!
Hi there,
We’ve just returned from 2 weeks in Madagascar, and I wanted to share our experience since we struggled quite a bit to plan our itinerary before leaving. The country is huge, the journeys are long, and with only two weeks, you really have to make choices.
For our part, we opted for a fairly realistic itinerary for a first-time visit: Antananarivo, Andasibe, Île aux Nattes, and then Sainte-Marie. The idea was to mix a bit of nature, lemurs, tropical forest, and then a few quieter days by the water—without trying to cross the entire country.
In Andasibe, we spent several days between the Analamazaotra Reserve and Mantadia Park. We were able to spot lemurs, especially the indris, went on a night walk to see chameleons, geckos, and other small animals, and then did a wilder hike in Mantadia. This was probably the stop that felt the most exotic to us, with that humid forest atmosphere, animal sounds, and dense vegetation.
After Andasibe, we headed back to Antananarivo to catch a flight to Sainte-Marie, then took a boat to Île aux Nattes. It’s a tiny car-free island where you get around on foot between beaches, sandy paths, villages, and coconut trees. We mostly slowed down the pace: walking around the island, snorkeling in front of the hotel, meals at Fafana and Coco Sud, swimming, and much simpler moments. It was one of our absolute highlights of the trip.
We wrapped up with a few days in Sainte-Marie, in a more comfortable setting. The island is larger and more developed than Île aux Nattes, with more accommodations and activities. For us, it was mostly about relaxing, enjoying the pool, biking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and a few short walks. Looking back, we might’ve spent a little less time in Sainte-Marie and a bit more on Île aux Nattes, which left a bigger impression on us.
I’ve tried to break down our itinerary day by day, including travel times, budget, accommodations, transportation, our thoughts on each stop, the pros and cons, and what we’d change if we did it again. I also cover arriving in Antananarivo, the road to Andasibe, the domestic flight to Sainte-Marie, returning to Tana, and our airport experience—where it’s best to allow plenty of extra time. Here’s the link if it helps with your planning:

In short, our main advice would be not to try to see everything in two weeks. Madagascar requires time, flexibility, and some breathing room. It’s better to pick fewer stops but really enjoy them.

Honestly, taking the train in Sri Lanka is no walk in the park. Between tickets disappearing in minutes, platforms that aren’t always very clear, and that infamous “full” sign displayed weeks in advance, you quickly feel like you’re playing the lottery. There’s even a real black market for tickets on the island: some seats are resold at higher prices through middlemen or agencies, which makes things even trickier. Everyone knows someone who knows someone who sells tickets. But we learned the hard way that this isn’t the safest way to get them, and we had to find another solution at the last minute.
We definitely went through a bit of an obstacle course to manage the booking. But once on the train, riding through the tea plantations between Kandy and Ella, we understood why everyone raves about it. Tea plantations, misty mountains, little bridges, and breathtaking valleys. To make the most of the scenery on the Kandy → Ella route, it’s best to sit on the right side of the train (and on the left if you’re going Ella → Kandy). As for the class, 2nd class reserved is, in our opinion, the best compromise: authentic vibe, open windows and doors, but with a guaranteed seat. Remember to pack enough water, snacks, and toilet paper for this 7-hour journey that somehow flies by.
I’ve gone into more detail about all this in the article for those who’d rather plan a bit better than we did. https://aventures-sans-mesaventure.com/prendre-le-train-au-sri-lanka-guide-complet/ Happy travels! :)
