India - The end of a short adventure
Unfortunately, for personal reasons, I had to interrupt my trip after 7 days, I did not even have time to buy the motorcycle. But have no fear, the world is big, as is my desire to explore it, and I will certainly have new adventures to share with you. To end on a nice note, I will tell you about the motorcycle that I had planned to buy for my trip. Royal Endfield During my trip to Colombia, I had the opportunity to see several new types of motorcycle. One particularly caught

India - The monsoon? No, a cyclone
For several days now I have had no contact with the “world”. No internet, because I don't have a SIM card yet, and no Wi-Fi. But what is going on? Well, two days after my arrival, I found myself in the middle of a climatic event. The monsoon… it’s wind and rain. There are two monsoon periods each year… so nothing too unusual. However, this is something else. It rains so much that the city is flooded. I'm entitled to a cyclone. It's been more than 15 years since residents have

India - A flying fox
It's three in the morning and it's impossible to sleep. So, I'll tell you what I saw yesterday. Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, it's a fox Chennai, end of the day, I'm in my room and taking a little rest. Overcoming jet lag is always a bit difficult. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a plane passing by, no, a big bird, no,... it's something else. Surprisingly, there are a lot of birds in Chennai. Earlier, I saw ring-necked parakeets (psittacula krameri) and Indian crows (co

India - Chennai
Phew, I've finally arrived on the other side of the world. More than 32 hours passed between the time I closed the door of my home and the time I opened the door to my room in India. It makes me very funny to write that... India. credit: newindianexpress.com Transit in Dubai For some, Dubai is impressive. Luxury hotels, avant-garde architecture, trendy boutiques, meh... I prefer natural wonders and local people. Dubai is not without it, except that an 8-hour transit doesn't r

India - My carry-0n
When I explain to people that I'm leaving with just one piece of luggage for three months, I'm often met with disbelief. There are several reasons why I bring few items with me and why they can end up in a single carry-on bag. Firstly, every item I put in my bag is practically essential and I'm terrified that my luggage will get lost in one of the two transits and three flights it takes to get to India. Having only one carry-on bag, I can keep it close to me at all times. Sec

India - The big departure
If you had told me, 7 years ago, that one day I would go to India, I would have called you, at the very least, a confabulator. India, a country not made for me, at least that's what I believed at the time. A country not made for the more conservative person, keen on hygiene and clean toilets, that I was. Seven years later, after learning to drive a motorcycle, traveling in adventure mode in Canada but also in the USA, Colombia, Vietnam and Thailand. I am ready. Ready to push
