We just finished our most difficult trek on the Rinjani volcano that we only think of one thing: relax! Indonesia is the equivalent of paradise for this exhausting activity. We decide to drop our backpacks on the Gili Islands, off Lombok. Much like in the nightclubs of our youth, Gili are 3 islands, 3 atmospheres… Let’s go on board! (more…)
Just enough time to recover from our emotions on the volcanoes of the island of Java, that we go for the most difficult trek of the whole trip (and that is not a little saying). We head to the summit of the Rinjani volcano on Lombok Island! We might as well be suffering right away, so we will rest on the Gili islands just next door after… That’s stupid good idea!
We left you in Yogyakarta, when we jump on the bus for our 3 day trek on the Bromo and Kawa Ijen volcanoes. We embark on three days of adventure, between contemplation, wonder and disenchantment …
After a week in the heart of the innovative Singapore, we fly to Indonesia and its capital: Jakarta. Everyone warned us, Jakarta, is certainly the capital, but it is mostly a big city with traffic jams and pollution, not necessarily very interesting … As a matter of fact, we don’t know what to expect. The arrival in the city center, completely clogged and crowded, would give right to all these testimonials. But what does it really mean? (more…)
We leave Melaka and Malaysia in a super bus with massage seats, to go to Singapore. We don’t know what to expect. Too much technology? Smart city with last generation buildings? Pollution over the city? Wait and see… because for now, we are stuck at the border, our bus not being able to enter the City-State, because its regulation is outdated! 3 hours later, we finally find ourselves in the middle of huge illuminated towers, like two children. There we are for 7 days of adventure in this amazing city! (more…)
We temporarily abandon the story of our trip to share with you our impressions on our road trip in Australia. Rather than a full article (which will come in due time), we propose you to discover our feelings with an infographic. Let’s go! (more…)
Here we are… Already at the end of our trip in Malaysia. Our night bus drops us in Melaka historical city, symbol of the Portuguese, Dutch and then British colonial periods. Let’s go to discover this charming little town… (more…)
We have been on the road for 6 months. We use our international credit card N26 Black everywhere where we are going. So is this bank miraculous? Really free of charge? What about the professionalism of a startup Bank? Mister takes the pen and share our feedback. The article is also available on his 1d-digital blog, if you are interested. (more…)
We go out of our adventures in the Malaysian jungle. We now need something calm and restful for the next days. The ideal place for that? The Perenthian Islands in the northeast of the malaysian peninsula. After 8 h of crazy bus and a poor sick Dutch, we find some rest in a small cabin near the water. (more…)
We have just left Penang Island and its beautiful street arts. We are in a huge ferry that links the island to the Peninsula before continuing by bus to the center of Malaysia. Program: spirituality and meetings in Ipoh, tasting strawberries and tea in Cameron Highlands before finishing by trekking in the jungle of the Taman Negara… Ready? Let’s go! (more…)
