Bonjour, à tous, c'est un SOS que je lance à tous . Lors de nos mission de suivi de nos projets en zone rurale, nous avons trouvé 7 enfants âgés de 4 à 12 ans vivants avec leurs grand-mère dans une maison en paille délabrée qui ne vont pas à l'école dépuis la rentrée faute d'argent C'est enfants sont les petits enfants à cette vieille dame âgée de 83 ans, veuve . Les parents de ces enfants sont morts de suite de maladies pour 4, et une malade mentale a 3 enfants dont les parents sont inconnus Je lance cet appel à toute les bonnes volontées pour la scolarité et la santé de ces enfants qui, eux - même ne veulent pas abandonner leur grand mère âgée, le seul et l-unique parents qui leur reste, Nous leur avons proposé de les mettre dans un orphelinat, ils n'ont pas accepté . Ils ont souhaité fréquenter dans une école proche de leur village afin de veiller sur leur grand-mère . Deux choses sont urgentes pour le moment : La scolarité La santé Une troisième leur ration et aussi l'habitat . J'attends les réactions du coeur .. Merci d'avance

salut!!! Avec une amie nous allons prendre un pass interrail de 21 jour à partir du 18 décembre, dans la zone italie, slovenie, grece, turquie et roumanie bulgarie serbie.Donc voilà, une fois acheté ce pass qui vaux tout de même le coup mais qui est assé cher pour les pauvres jeune que nous somme, il nous reste plus beaucoup d'argent.Ma question est, pouvons nous nous en sortir avec un budget de 5/10(maximum) euro par jour et par personne, sachant que nous pairions pas le transport(à par pour rejoindre la serbie depuis la slovenie car la croatie fait pas partie de la zone)et pour le logement nous serons acceuilli chez des amis a Milan, Maribor, Belgrade et Istanbul, our le reste on veut dormir dans les train de nuit ou dans les gares.Je pose cette question car j'ai aucune idée si c'est fesable ou pas avec se budget, cette été j'avai voyage dans plus ou moin le meme coin (à par la grèce, la serbie et la bulgarie) et ca m'avais couter assé cher, mais je n'avais pas de carte interrail, je dormais tout le temps dans des auberges de jeunesse et à Istanbul je m'étais pas priver pour les resto ni pour toute les visites. Mais là ca sera budget light, cuisine au caming gaz tout le jours et c'est tout! Voilà ca serai sympa si vous avez dejà voyager comme ça (en particulier en hiver) de nous parler de votre expérience. Et une autre question, j'ai entendu dire qu'avec la carte interrail il falait tout de même payer les reservations, est-ce le cas pour la majorité des trains??Et si on monte sans réserver payons nous une amende ou juste le prix de la réservation??? Merci beaucoup!!! Alex

bonjour a tous. je prevois de partir au maroc pendant les vacances de paques 2006(zone montpellier). je recherches des personnes qui voudraient se joindre a nous. nous sommes 2 avec 4X4 et motos.depart de perpignan, traversee de l espagne .le trajet n est pas totalement defini mais passerait certainement par fez, marrakech, ouarzazate, merzouga, le dades....envie de faire beaucoup de pistes et de sable. j ai ouvert un petit forum qui permet de centraliser tout ca et eviter d encombrer celui ci. si quelques uns d entre vous sont interresses, soyez les bienvenus, mieux vaut y aller a plusieurs vehicules qu un seul ! ! allez a bientot j espere.

Je voulais savoir ce que l'on risque sur l'on se fait arreter sans permis, ou sur une zone interdite au Tibet ? Je sais que l'on se fait reconduire à la frontiere, mais se fait t'on du coup interdire de terrioir sur toute la Chine ? Parceque dans ce cas, il vaut penser a visiter la Chine avant le Tibet...

bonjour à tous, je pars en Chine pendant 7 mois en 2006 et séjournerai dans une zone où sévit la forme la plus résistante du paludisme et où la grippe aviare devrait encore bientôt sévir. on annonce plusieurs dizaines de millions de morts dans les années à venir ... suis je fou ou bien ma position qui dit que puisqu'on sera touchés aussi en europe, autant s'éclater sur place est peu sérieuse ?

Bonjour à tous,

Je dois me rendre au sud de la Thaïlande, dans la zone frontalière avec la Malaisie.

Je voudrais savoir s'il est possible de faire un aller-retour en Malaisie - en moins d'une journée - juste de façon à renouveler mon autorisation de séjour en Thaïlande (période de trente jours).

C'est une "manoeuvre" légale qui se pratique à la frontière du Myanmar (Birmanie) au nord de la Thaïlande : entre Mae Saï et Takileik, pour être précis ...

Et cela ne coûte que 250 Baths à verser en Birmanie (Myanmar) pour pouvoir effectuer l'aller-retour, sur le pont ... L'autorisation d'entrée délivrée par la police thaïlandaise est gratuite (moins de trente jours).

Bref, j'aimerais savoir s'il existe un système analogue au poste de Sungaï Kolok - Frontière avec la Malaisie, au sud de Thaïlande.

Je crois savoir que cela ne fonctionne pas en ce qui concerne le Laos et le Cambodge. Pour ces deux pays, il faut obligatoirement "acheter" un visa à 15, 20 ou 30 $ ... aucune facilité particulière n'étant accordée.

Merci d'avance et bonne route à tous les voyageurs ! 😉

Bonjour,

je viens de réserver un billet pour le Chili dans l'intention de me concentrer sur la zone au sud de Santiago uniquement vu que je ne dispose que de 3 semaines...🙁

J'aurais deux questions: Niveau itinéraire, quelles vous paraissent les étapes incontournables sur la route descendante vers Punta Arenas... sachant que je n'ai pas envie de "courrir" tout le temps et préfère sélectionner quelques lieux plutot que de tout survoler...

Je pensais en tout cas à Valdivia et Chiloé ... ensuite Punta Arenas et la Tierra del Fuego...? Niveau vols internes, vu que je suis conscient que ce sera nécessaire (j'envisage un Puerto Montt --> Punta Arenas et un Punta Arenas --> Santiago), plus intérressant de les booker d'ici via Lan.com ou sur place... les avis ont l'air de diverger... à moins qu'il y ai une atlernative...

D'avance merci,

Oli

bonjour

j'envisage de zoner au népal et en inde du nord-ouest pendant 4 à 5 mois, soit dans la zone 2 du paludisme, à partir de la mi-aout. Vu la longueur de mon séjour, je suis assez réticent à un traitement préventif, qui coute cher et qui te met en vrac, d'autant plus que je compte descendre le moins possible dans les vallées.

Je crois savoir que les moustiques ne dépassent pas les 1500-2000m.

Mais bon, ce sra en période de fin de mousson, et il est inévitable d'emprunter les basses vallées pour se rendre du népal en inde...

alors qu'en pensez-vous ?? sourire-

Bonjour,

Je vais partir au Canada pour une durée d'un an. Dans un premier temps, je souhaiterai m'établir dans une zone anglophone. Quelle ville, grande ou petite, me conseilleriez-vous pour une durée d'environ 6 mois pendant lesquels je ferai des excursions de quelques jours aux alentours?

Vancouver et Toronto sont-ils incontournables?

Hi there,

I’m starting to look at neighborhoods in Seoul, and I’m leaning toward staying in a hotel in Insa-Dong—I’ve spotted one really close to Unhyeongung. Is this a good area—nice and convenient for exploring the city?

Otherwise, I’ve also found another hotel in Yongsan-Gu, right near the station of the same name. Is that station useful for getting around Seoul?

Since I’ll be in South Korea for nearly two months, I plan to spend at least a week in Seoul to recover from jet lag (it takes me a while to adjust...). So, I’d love a neighborhood that’s pleasant and a hotel not too far from a subway station.

Thanks in advance!

hi everyone, are there any rental car models you’d recommend for 3 weeks on the island? compact or mid-range?

Hello, We’re heading to Cambodia for a trip. We have a 2h50 layover in Ho Chi Minh City on the way out and a 3h45 layover in Hanoi on the way back. Do we need a visa for this transit? Thanks for your help...

Thailand/Cambodia – Tensions at the border Posted on 12/12/2025

Fighting between Cambodian and Thai forces continues across the border area between the two countries.

Travel in this zone (up to 50 km from the border) is dangerous and strongly discouraged.

Furthermore, given the latest developments in the security situation, French travelers and residents are urged to exercise extreme caution in all northern and western provinces bordering Thailand, especially when traveling outside major urban areas (Siem Reap - including Angkor, and Battambang).

In these regions, it is recommended to closely monitor local news.

Border with Thailand Updated on 26/06/2025

The land border between Thailand and Cambodia has been closed since June 23 for an indefinite period. It is therefore necessary to take an air route to enter or leave Cambodia.

Nearby tourist areas are strongly discouraged: the Mom Bei region (Preah Vihear province) and the temple complexes of Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Tauch, and Ta Krabei (Oddar Meanchey province).

Access from or to the Laotian and Vietnamese land borders is not affected by this restriction.

Hi everyone,

I’m finalizing my trip starting from Namibia. When I arrive in Divundu, I’d like to head straight to the Khwai area early in the morning to one of the campsites in the Khwai Development Trust. Is the drive doable with a good 4x4 in a day? We’ll spend 2 nights in Khwai, then 2 or maybe 3 nights in the Moremi area (Third Bridge/Xakanaxa/Mboma) before heading back to Maun to wrap up our journey. Is that too much time to spend in each place?

We’d also like to do one or two boat excursions in the delta. Any suggestions for the best options and operators?

Thanks in advance for your tips and advice! Best, Patrick

Hey everyone!! I’m planning a 3-month trip to the Philippines for May 2026. As a diving enthusiast, I’d love to hear about must-visit diving spots. I’m traveling with a buddy, and we don’t really want to spend all our time moving around, so if you have recommendations for one area that’s better than others for diving, that’d be great! What do you think are the best diving sites? (I’d appreciate an overview of the country so I can decide based on that.) Compared to my buddy, I love macro photography (nudibranchs, etc.), so I’d also love any tips on that. And completely unrelated to diving, but I’d also like info on places to visit (national parks, reserves, etc.) to see the local wildlife. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply! Safe travels, everyone!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a bike trip to cycle around the Baltic Sea (gravel). Starting from Rostock. I’d love to hear from any cyclists who’ve ridden through the countries involved—especially tips on wild camping spots, must-see areas, and where to stock up on supplies, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m so happy 🙂 to be traveling again after 5 years without a trip. I’m heading back to Costa Rica for 18 days from December 12th to 30th with a friend. We’re doing San José-Sarapiquí (2 nights), then Sarapiquí-Tortuguero (3 nights), then from Tortuguero heading to the Cahuita and Puerto Viejo area. We’ll spend about ten days in that region, then make a 2-day stop somewhere before flying back out of San José. From what I’ve read on this blog, Puerto Viejo seems like the "rasta," party-friendly spot, which is honestly the kind of place I tend to avoid—too touristy. I’m looking for places surrounded by beautiful nature. I’ve already spent several weeks in Drake Bay (in 2019 and 10 years before that) and loved it. My friend also wants to visit the Bri Bri. Could you recommend some authentic spots in this southern Caribbean area? Your favorite places—whether it’s sights to see, accommodations, or even your favorite little restaurants 😛? What’s the most authentic way to visit the Bri Bri? What’s your take on that? And finally, what beautiful stop would you recommend before heading back to San José? A huge thank you to everyone! Have a great day, Zineb

Take a step back, forget your bearings, and momentarily set aside the boxes we use to categorize life: humans on one side, animals on the other. Immerse yourself in that unsettling zone where man, stripped of his humanity, and the beast—capable of emotions and sensitivity—stand face to face. Who is the predator, who is the prey? Where do fear, barbarism, or extreme violence lie, and where do compassion and philosophy reside?

In this book steeped in anthropomorphism, Stéphanie Artarit weaves a cruel plot and pushes the boundaries of darkness without ever wallowing in the grim or sordid.

A story of love and vengeance, of fierce beasts and humans, where the abominable, the unbearable, and the unthinkable are pierced by the candor and fragile luminosity of the heroine, Bambi, around whom (very) dark passions rage.

The action takes place in the Pyrenees in the mid-1970s. A dilapidated, isolated house, the theater of the unthinkable, where a shattered family ignored by social services lives—or survives: a missing father, a helpless mother, two degenerate twins, Sam and Valerien, a violent older brother, Martin, an absolute bastard, a dog... and a young adolescent, Bambi, the precarious pillar of this teetering balance. To escape this hopeless daily life, she regularly finds refuge in a nearby zoo. Caught during yet another sneaky visit, she is taken to the owner of the place, Noel Rivière, who, moved by her misery (and her ethereal, unreal beauty...), hires her as an apprentice.

This could have been the start of a fairy tale, redemption through love, the bastard permanently neutralized... and a breather for the reader.

But no.

The zoo serves as the backdrop for the second part of the story, which introduces new characters... a little girl, Feline, and a chimpanzee, Adam, placed in an isolated enclosure upon arrival because he was aggressive and unable to live among his own kind.

Humans with primitive animality, animals with astonishing humanity... a deranged, fierce, and heartbreaking Jungle Book. A noir novel with fluid, poetic writing.

A breathless read, almost devoured in one go (in two sittings) because it’s impossible to catch your breath before finding out how far the author will push the limits and what fate she has in store for her characters...

You Don’t Eat Cannibals Stéphanie ARTARIT Belfond Noir

A message in a bottle: For a three-week trip in November... is it possible to go hiking without a guide in northern Vietnam, getting around to the hiking sites by public transport, bikes, or on foot? And if so, which areas specifically? Thanks to anyone who replies!8

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share my family trip to Colombia with kids aged 8. After spending hours browsing the forum and only having two weeks there, we decided to focus on two regions: the Coffee Zone for one week and the Caribbean coast for another. We traveled from August 8 to 23.

Day 1 – First stop: Bogotá

We arrived in Bogotá in the evening on an Air France flight—nothing to complain about, decent service, comfortable, and on time. However, the first night was a miss. We’d booked a hotel near the airport (Abitel Prime) for convenience, but the soundproofing was almost nonexistent; we heard planes as if we were on the runway. Luckily, exhaustion helped us sleep well anyway.

Day 2 – Off to the Coffee Zone and Salento

The next morning, we headed to the airport for a domestic flight to Pereira with LATAM. No issues: punctual and efficient, and in 30 minutes, we landed in Pereira. The landing already set a different mood: lush valleys, endless plantations, and humid air. We picked up our rental car from Localiza. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t smooth—the paperwork took forever, and the wait tested our patience. Finally free, we hit the road to Salento, one of Quindío’s gems. We arrived in the late afternoon and discovered a colorful village bustling with artisan shops and cafés. Our first stroll helped us soak in the atmosphere before dinner at Bambú restaurant—a great surprise with careful cooking and local flavors. We spent the night at Casa Serafín, a charming little hotel, nicely decorated and well-located… but unfortunately very noisy.

Day 3 – The magic of Cocora Valley

This was one of the trip’s highlights. We set off early for Cocora Valley, famous for its giant wax palms, Colombia’s emblem. We chose the 12 km loop recommended by the *Routard*. The landscapes were spectacular: towering palms, rivers, suspension bridges. It felt like walking through a postcard. The weather was perfect. That evening, we dined at Barnabé restaurant—pleasant setting, decent food, but the bill was a bit steep for what it was. Back to Casa Serafín.

Day 4 – Coffee and panoramic views

The plan was a visit to Finca El Ocaso. For 1.5 hours, we followed a passionate guide who explained the entire coffee process, from harvest to cup. Very educational, accessible for both kids and adults, all in a stunning setting. The tour was in English for us, and we translated for our kids, who aren’t bilingual yet. In the afternoon, we climbed to Salento’s viewpoint. The valley view was superb. That evening, we ate at Veggie Garden, a simple and pleasant spot that was a nice change from the heavier meals of previous days.

Day 5 – Horseback ride to Santa Rita Waterfall

We booked a horseback ride with Cocora Magic. It was a real success: calm horses, a beautiful trail, mountain and meadow landscapes, and finally the refreshing and wild Santa Rita Waterfall. Without a doubt, one of the best moments of our time in the region. We even got a bonus ride up a 300-meter hill. We then headed to Filandia, less known than Salento but just as charming. We spent the late afternoon enjoying the pool at MuchoSur Filandia. The hotel is beautiful, in an idyllic setting. However, we also had soundproofing issues and could hear our neighbors.

Day 6 – Rainy detour through Filandia and Manizales

Rain caught up with us in the early morning: torrents of water made it impossible to go out. We stayed at the hotel, reading quietly. By noon, the rain let up: a quick walk in Filandia, a quick lunch, then off to Manizales. We chose to stay at El Otoño hot springs. Great choice: as soon as we arrived, we plunged into the hot pools, perfect after hours on the road.

Day 7 – Hiking and hot springs

In the morning, we hiked the Camino de Super Coco (found somewhat randomly on Google). A pleasant trail with mountain views and a peaceful atmosphere. The afternoon was spent in the hotel’s thermal pools, with a short marked hike down to the river. Dinner on-site at the hot springs’ restaurant. A simple but very relaxing day.

Day 8 – Rain, jacuzzi, and games

We continued to Finca Los Alpes. The rain greeted us again, but this time it turned into an asset: nothing like a steaming jacuzzi with a view of the misty mountains. The kids enjoyed the facilities too: mini-golf, ping-pong, billiards. Dinner and night at the hotel, cozy vibes.

Day 9 – Off to the Caribbean coast

Back to the airport to return the car (still a bit long). Flight to Cartagena with Avianca: punctual and comfortable. Upon arrival, we picked up another car and headed straight to the Hyatt Regency, a modern hotel with a pool. That evening, we dined at the hotel—practical after a travel day.

Day 10 – Colonial Cartagena

We set off to explore Cartagena’s old town. It was enchanting: colorful facades, flowered balconies, colonial charm—just magical. However, the heat was stifling and very humid. Afternoon relaxation by the pool. Dinner at Gestlani, a good restaurant in town.

Day 11 – Road to Barú

A hearty breakfast, then one last swim in the pool before heading to Barú. We checked into Las Islas Hotel. The setting was enchanting: wooden cabins nestled in the vegetation, a private beach, turquoise sea, impeccable service. Dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.

Day 12 – Beach and relaxation

A full beach day in Barú. Warm water, white sand, coconut trees, peace and quiet. A real postcard scene with iguanas and birds.

Day 13 – On to Santa Marta

Another morning at the beach before hitting the road to Santa Marta. The drive was a bit long (6 hours), especially with traffic jams in Barranquilla. It was the longest car ride of the trip. We spent the night at Villa María Tayrona, a beautiful place near the park.

Day 14 – Tayrona Park

We left early for Tayrona Park. We entered through **El Zaino**, parked the car, and set off on a hike to La Piscina (about 2 hours). We stopped along the way at Playa Arenilla, a stunning little beach, to rest. Lunch on-site, a swim, then back by 4 PM. The hike was a bit tiring, but the nature was spectacular: dense jungle, the sound of waves, and even a monkey encounter along the way. Evening and dinner at the hotel.

Day 15 – Last swim and return flight to Bogotá

Our last morning was split between the pool and the beach (the hotel has direct access via a 7-minute trail through vegetation and flowers)—hard to leave this paradise. We drove to Santa Marta’s airport to return the car, then flew back to Bogotá. We spent the night at Casa Dann Carlton, a comfortable hotel. We simply ordered room service, arriving too late to go out.

Day 16 – Bogotá and the end of the trip

Our last day in Colombia. After a good breakfast, we explored La Candelaria. Its cobbled streets and colorful houses were worth the visit. We visited the Botero Museum (free) and the Gold Museum, both fascinating. Back to the airport for our 11:55 PM Air France flight.

That’s a wrap on a varied trip—lush mountains, colorful villages, dream beaches, and tropical jungle. The pace was pretty relaxed, well-suited for our kids. They absolutely loved the trip to Colombia. Driving in Colombia was very easy, and we didn’t regret renting a car at all—it gave us more freedom to get around.

If I were to do it again, here’s what I’d change: - I’d spend less time in the Coffee Zone to stay a bit longer on the Caribbean coast, which was more relaxing for the kids. Or I’d head to Medellín, but I didn’t think the city was very kid-friendly. - Bogotá is a city that deserves a day’s visit, but it’s not a must-see. Maybe I’d have taken the KLM flight from Cartagena to Amsterdam instead.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate!

If you're walking around the southern part of Lake Bourget, you can't escape the noise from a parachuting club's planes. A group of climate skeptics actually takes off in small, very noisy aircraft every 15 minutes over a Natura 2000 classified area. They don’t seem to face any restrictions—neither for noise nor for greenhouse gas emissions. They occupy the airspace without paying fuel taxes or providing carbon compensation to local municipalities or environmental preservation associations, apparently. It sounds surreal, but it’s very real in such an important location.
