Travel Guides
Travel is a doorway to empathy and awareness.
Exploring nature, tasting new flavours, meeting different people, experiencing diverse cultures,… travelling has the power to expand our consciousness by stimulating neuroplasticity and creativity. We understand more and we become more connected.
My recommendations focus on authentic experiences in global hotspots. Exploring nature, tasting new flavours, and meeting different people is what makes me the happiest. Whilst traveling, I particularly like stargazing and discovering breathtaking views. These experiences remind you how small you are when facing the infinity of the universe, which has a unique soothing effect.
Is there really a better feeling than that of being one with the earth?

Tulum, Mexico
I am lucky to call Tulum my home away from home. Spending several months each year in this heavenly beach town allows me to gather precious tips for fellow travellers.
Located on the Mexican coast of the Caribbean, Tulum is a unique tourism hub attracting digital nomads and new-age hippies. Its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation form the perfect tropical hideaway.

Mykonos, Greece
I had the opportunity to stay in Mykonos for a month ⎻ which is a lot of time to explore considering the small size of the island (only 85 sq km!). It was the perfect occasion to seek authentic spots to dispute Mykonos’ reputation of a “party island” with exorbitant prices.
Over the weeks, I discovered fantastic taverns with traditional Greek food, secluded beach with turquoise waters, and other gems hidden across the hills of the “Island of Winds”.

Italy
I had the pleasure of visiting Italy from its North to its South in a fantastic road trip. Filled with mountains, lakes, and villages perched on cliffs, always accompanied by decadent food and delicious beverages, it is guaranteed to create extraordinary memories and feelings.
This Travel Guide offers something for every traveler – whether you're an art enthusiast, a history buff, a foodie, or simply seeking to immerse yourself in the warm hospitality and vibrant atmosphere that Italy is famous for.
