Let’s talk more about WWOOFing!
21/01/2021The first time I WWOOFed was when I left to Japan and Korea for three months. Alright, but what is WWOOFing actually? Yeah, what is that?! Why two ‘w’ in a word? Because it’s an acronym, which stands for “World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms”, which began in the UK some 50 years ago (1971). The name changed numerous times, and for a good reason to my opinion. The first version was ‘Willing Workers on Organic Farms’… Something sounds a bit fishy, I think.

Sunrise hike in Mount Batur: why you shouldn’t go there.

How to get prepared for a trip in Bali
After a short trip between Brisbane and Sydney, as I previously told me, Aurélie and I are flying towards the most famous destination in South East Asia from Australia: Bali. After spending three weeks there, I can say without a…
Red Devil on Fire
I wrote this article a long time ago, and it was a pure translation of my article in French. It was also my first article written in English and I really didn’t like it. First of all, it was way…
