Emma
Welcome! I created this blog in 2015 (if my memory serves right) to narrate my adventures, like many others. I want to explore all the wonders the world has to offer. And also, I love taking pictures of wildlife, even more than anything else probably, and especially birds. I long to share this passion as well! About the name 'A Flea Quest', my dad would call me 'flea' (it's common in France, don't think that he was being mean aha) and I reckon that it fits me well: a little flea hoping around the world at her own scale; A quest? Travelling is a way to open the mind, a quest towards the unknown and broadening of culture and knowledge. (I gotta admit...It also sounds epic!) Hope to hear from you! :)
Sri Lanka: workaway at Ishanka & Anna’s
Like I said in my previous article, while we were trying one more time to buy train tickets (you need to book in advance, or so it seems), two people canceled their booking one morning, so we bought theirs! How…
Sri Lanka: our tuk-tuk roadtrip!
If the best way to visit Vietnam is by bike without any doubt, in Sri Lanka, the best way is by tuk-tuk! But there must be some people who may be wondering “but what is a tuk-tuk?”. They are three…
Northern Vietnam: Ha Giang Loop
While it was not obvious for me for the beginning of our trip in Vietnam, now I understand all the hype around that country. The landscapes are of a rare beauty that makes me succumb to its charms as well.…
Philippines: Cebu, Palawan & Manila
Unlike Bali, I will not write an article on how to prepare for a trip to the Philippines because I don’t have as many things to say. Maybe because we didn’t plan anything at all (and that was a mistake). We…
Let’s talk more about WWOOFing!
The 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…
Happy New Year 2021!
What can we wish for next year? Hope for a better one, not as ‘heavy’ as 2020. Which is not hard, to be honest! The situation I think has been very detrimental to many of us, even if maybe some…
A story of mine on the French national radio?
The story I still travel with.. For those who know me very well know that I am pretty much obsessed with the French radio ‘France Inter‘. When I come back to a more sedentary life, back to the post office,…
Vietnam
The next destination won’t disappoint. That’s plainly impossible, according to the fellow backpackers I meet alongside the road, particularly around South East Asia. And to be honest, it did not disappoint, indeed. One question I often get asked is ‘what’s…
Somewhere between Bali & Lombok
I’ve been wasting some time (I don’t really consider it a waste, but the writing process was on pause) to enhance my blog, like creating a logo based on one of my former drawings, “commissioned” by the guesthouse Aurélie and…
Bali
Now that we are ready to go, and that you’re aware about the biggest scam I know (granted, I don’t know much obviously about Indonesia), I can finally write about the trip itself! Let me tell you that it’s much…
