A Sunny Escape to Bonaire
Bonaire, this pearl of the Caribbean, offered me four days of pure bliss. Between refreshing swims, fascinating explorations, moments of relaxation, and bursts of laughter, this getaway was a true breath of fresh air. Traveling the island by car added a touch of adventure to my stay: each road I took held its share of surprises, including those impromptu stops to let the donkeys, Bonaire's endearing emblem, pass by. Arrival on the island From the moment I boarded a Divi Divi Air flight from Curaçao to Bonaire, excitement was at its peak. Barely thirty minutes later, I was already immersed in a peaceful atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For my stay, I dropped off my bags at Resort Bonaire , an ideal place to fully enjoy the island. With a car rented from Prins Car Rental , I was ready to explore this little corner of paradise. Spectacular beaches and landscapes My stay was punctuated by varied and unforgettable experiences. This idyllic Caribbean destination allowed me to discover several magnificent beaches, each with its own charm. It's impossible not to marvel at the raw beauty of Bonaire, between crystal-clear waters and contrasting arid landscapes. My favorite? 1000 Steps Beach, with its stone staircase winding between limestone cliffs, leading to a cove with turquoise waters where turtles swim peacefully beneath the surface. History and heritage The scenic drive took me to the impressive salt pyramids, testament to the hard work that marked the island's history. Nearby, the small huts from the slave era reminded me of poignant stories from the past. An emotional stop that adds a historical dimension to the journey. Flamingo Watching Pekelmeer offered me a unique spectacle: pink flamingos roaming freely, gracefully moving through a surreal setting. Their vibrant colors stood out magnificently against the salty landscape, creating a scene worthy of a postcard. Local flavors and gourmet discoveries Between my discoveries, I enjoyed delicious meals at some of the local favorites. Bagel and Bloom charmed me with their gourmet breakfasts, Posada Paramira immersed me in the authentic cuisine of Bonaire, and Stocked Foodtruck delighted me with original flavors, perfect after a busy day. To top off my stay, I tasted local beers at Sugar Thief Bonaire , a nice surprise that allowed me to taste unique creations, brewed with passion. Finally, a visit to Cadushy added a touch of sweetness with a tasting of liqueur with local flavors, concluding this culinary immersion in style. An unforgettable journey Bonaire enveloped me in its soothing rhythm and magnificent landscapes. These few days allowed me to reconnect with nature, history, and the simple joys of travel. A getaway that leaves me with fond memories and an irresistible desire to return. — Article written by Jessica Gallant
Read MorePreparing for a trip to Asia: Essential tips and advice
Exploring Asia is a fascinating adventure, but proper preparation is essential to fully enjoy it. Whether you dream of exploring the picturesque villages of Vietnam, savoring Thai cuisine, immersing yourself in Indonesian traditions, or immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of Japan, this guide will help you prepare. Here are some tips to help you feel prepared and make the most of every moment of your stay in the heart of this captivating continent. 1. Organize your itinerary With its rich culture and geography, Asia offers an incredible variety of landscapes and experiences. Before you leave, do some thorough research on the destinations you plan to visit. Learn about local customs, languages spoken, available transportation, and necessary formalities, such as visas. Identify major attractions, must-see markets, and more remote spots to explore. 2. Travel light but strategically One of the secrets to traveling with peace of mind in Asia is to choose lightweight and practical luggage. Traveling between cities and regions can be frequent, and a bulky bag can quickly become a source of stress. Clothing: comfort above all To tackle varying climates, choose lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying clothing. FIG Clothing's collections offer practical and stylish pieces that are perfect for travel. A sleeveless top like the MAYFAIR ensures freedom of movement and comfort, while the reversible SHENLEY adapts to different occasions. A flowy dress like the SHELLY is ideal for a day on the city or a tropical getaway, and pieces like the AMAYA blouse and AVERY pants offer lightness and versatility. Also, pack protective clothing to protect yourself from the sun or to visit temples where respectful attire is required. A light scarf or sarong will be useful for easily covering your shoulders or legs. 3. Think about your health and safety Before you leave, make sure your vaccinations are up to date and consult a doctor to see if any additional vaccinations are required for your itinerary. Pack a first aid kit with essential medications, mosquito repellent, and ocean-friendly sunscreen. To stay hydrated while reducing your plastic consumption, use a SteriPEN or other purification system to make your water safe to drink. If you're unsure about the quality of your water, avoid ice cubes and opt for filtered or treated water. Also, be careful with your food, especially if you're trying street food (which is often delicious but sometimes risky). 4. Manage your money well Although card payments are becoming increasingly common, it's best to always carry some cash, especially for small businesses or in rural areas. Check exchange rates and use a discreet wallet to carry your bills safely. 5. Immerse yourself in the local culture Asia is, above all, an incomparable cultural richness. Respect local customs, learn a few words of the language of the country you're visiting, and interact with the locals. Be aware that in many Asian countries, removing your shoes before entering a home or temple is a sign of respect. Wear shoes that are easy to slip on, such as comfortable sandals. Getting along with languages In many parts of Asia, English isn't widely spoken, so it's helpful to have some communication tools. Download a translation app on your phone to help you in situations where language is a barrier. It can also be helpful to have a short guide with keywords to facilitate everyday communication. 6. Don't underestimate the seasons Seasons vary from country to country, with specific weather conditions. The rainy season can be intense in some areas: a light raincoat or a pocket umbrella will be very useful. 7. Travel with awareness Consider the impact of your trip. Choose eco-friendly accommodations, support local artisans by purchasing their products, and limit your use of plastic whenever possible. With these tips in mind and a well-designed suitcase, you're ready to set off on an adventure in Asia! — Article written by Jessica Gallant

Perched at an altitude of 3,842 meters, the Aiguille du Midi offered me far more than just a panoramic view: it was a true sensory experience, an immersion that transcends mere sightseeing. In winter, this iconic site in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc transforms into a winter paradise, where nature reveals its majesty in all its purity. A breathtaking ascent The journey began with a cable car ride that transported me to 2,317 meters, at the Plan de l'Aiguille. There, an awe-inspiring landscape unfolded before me: the majestic Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Verte, the Drus, and the Aiguilles of Chamonix to the left, with the Bossons Glacier to the right. The peaks sparkled as if time had come to a standstill. This was merely a prelude to what awaited me higher up. At the summit of magic The second cable car whisked me to the summit at 3,777 meters. There, magic took over: the glaciers of Pélerins and the hanging glaciers stretched out beneath my feet, while the invigorating fresh air filled my lungs. The panoramic terraces offered an unparalleled view of the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps, each vista enveloping me like a living postcard. A dizzying adventure I then ventured onto the walkway linking the north peak to the central peak—a vast and moving experience. Overlooking the snowy ridges and the Géant Glacier was an adventure filled with both humility and exhilaration. Then came the “Step into the Void”: a glass cube suspended above the abyss. My heart raced, my soul soared—an unforgettable moment I captured forever. An extraordinary immersion But the Aiguille du Midi is more than just its scenery. The on-site restaurants provide a culinary experience as spectacular as the views, allowing visitors to extend their time in this breathtaking setting. Finally, the mountaineering museum revealed the daring stories that shaped these heights. The “Hypoxia” exhibit offered a unique insight into the mysteries of altitude and the effects of reduced oxygen levels. Every moment spent up there was a total immersion into an extraordinary world. The icy wind on my face, the endless grandiose panoramas… The Aiguille du Midi transported me to the heights of wonder. It is undeniably a must-see during any stop in Chamonix!
