M-stay has a good location in Seogwipo, at the southern part of the island. The hotel is simple and its rooms are basic. Our standard room was clean, although felt a little outdated. The washroom had no bathtub, but does have a separate shower with good water pressure. There is a restaurant and a 7-Eleven […]

It is a lush and fertile soil that allows growth of trees and fruits and tea plants. It is where domestic tourists and foreigners alike spend their vacations on beaches and parks, looking for peace and nature. It is Jeju-do, the largest island […]
Read more "Jeju-do: The great journey up Mount Halla"SLH stands for Small Luxury Hotels and groups over 500 small establishments that specialize in upscale accommodations. They are not part of a chain or banner, but are rather independently managed and have each their own character. That is what intrigued me most about them so I gave it a try. Hotel28 Myeongdong fits well […]
Read more "[Review] Hotel28 Myeongdong: Filming set of a Korean drama"I love everything about travelling. Even things most travellers hate, like waiting at the airport, passing through security checks and running from one terminal to the other are part of an exciting experience for me. If there were only one thing I dislike about travelling, it would be long flights. Stuck in a tiny seat […]
Read more "[Review] Air Canada Business Class YYZ to ICN"Hundred-foot waterfalls, scenic coastlines, pristine beaches…all can be found on The Garden Isle that is Kauai, the most laid-back of all the islands of Hawaii. It is also one of the places on the planet that gets the most amounts of rainfall yearly. Everywhere we go is lush and green…grass even grows on sand! This […]
Read more "Kauai, Hawaii: Six days with my GoPro"I love travelling and one of the reasons why is I adore trying out new hotels. Of course, we’ve experienced a few that we loved and which have never disappointed, so why take the risk and go somewhere else one might ask? (And so I ask myself sometimes when we get a really bad one…) […]
Read more "[Review] The FX hotel: Hipster or splashy?"First things first: if planning a stay in Taipei right before the Christmas holidays, book in advance! The choices of accommodation were quite limited for our stay in mid-December 2015, thus we were very happy to have found a reasonably-priced (100CAD/night), well-reviewed and adequately located room in the city. The pictures online are rather fool-proofed: […]
Read more "[Review] Citysuites Taipei Nandong: Basics with no door"One of the most memorable moments of our recent trip to Taiwan is the hike we did in Taroko Gorge. Although the beginning of the hike is quite challenging and I found myself wishing I had stayed in bed (“why am I doing this to myself” kind of moment), the feeling is quickly replaced by […]
Read more "Taroko Gorge and Hualien city: Postcard-perfect views"On a recent pre-holiday trip to Hong Kong, we stayed at the Tuve hotel in the Tin Hau neighbourhood on HK island. Having been to Hong Kong a few times already, I did not plan to visit any major tourist attraction, and so decided to stay in a more local friendly district. The main objective […]
Read more "[Review] TUVE hotel , Hong Kong"We landed in Penang after a short flight from Kota Kinabalu. We were so exhausted that we missed all that passed us by during the cab ride to the hotel (review of The Royal Bintang Hotel soon). It’s only the next morning that we got to really take in all the cultural sights that define […]
