Hello, London!

Walking around London is so fun, especially because there are a lot of beautiful buildings and tourist attractions to see. We managed to walk around 21 km in one day and I only got 1 blister (it’s kinda ok, I guess). We arrived at 5am so we had the privilege of discovering the center of London with only a few people around. In front of Buckingham Palace were zero tourists and that felt really good, because the photos we made are tourist free and picture perfect. But I hope you enjoy them all !!! Kisses, C.

Planckendael Zoo, Antwerpen

Welcome to Planckendael Zoo in Antwerpen, Belgium!

My impressions about this place are positive, especially because we felt like the managers of this zoo were really involved in taking care of the animals and the visitors. Also, we enjoyed the open area of the penguins and flamingo birds that ran freely on the grass. In conclusion, I recommend that you visit this place, in particular if you have kids because there were a lot of playing grounds for them, created in the theme of the area that you were in.

My birthday trip to Paris

Hello, beautiful ones!

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 26 and I received one of the best gifts ever: a road trip to Paris, France.

If you want to see the pics and my comments, please continue reading.

First of all, let me tell all about the crazy traffic in Paris… It’s craaazy! We went on a Thursday, so I’ve expected to be less crowded than the weekend but I was wrong. The Parisian people have a very frenetic way of driving, but surprisingly, they all go on their paths in a “chaotic order”.

You see on their streets a very large mix of colorful Smarts, Scooters, Vespas and Piaggios that fill the roads paved with one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen. You can tell that they had a lot of time perfecting this fashionable city in every way possible.

But with no further ado, let’s see the pics all ready! 🙂
