Frozen and crusty


December is here, not only it means Christmas, it also means that the chilly mornings are back, finally. Time to get our best equipment out and enjoy the frosty landscapes ! In the UK the weather can be strange and the winter takes his time to come.


Personally these mornings are amongst my favourites. I love how it feels to have an early walk with that kind of weather, freezing yes but there is something more about it.


Like a child I will have fun walking on the frozen grass, the crunch it makes is nice to hear :)


Are you more of an hibernating bear or are you enjoying a good winter walk ? Let me know in the comment section !

Lava flood




In December 2017 my newly husband and I went in Hawaii for our honeymoon. What a trip that was... Stunning views, amazing people.. So much memories.


We visited Big Island and O‘ahu Island, and of course the big sight during this trip was the lava field. Such an amazing feeling, I can't describe it to you, especially for me who wanted to see lava since I was a little girl.


We had a guide with us, of course. Don't do that walk alone !! So many tourists are thinking it's ok and are doing the walk to the field alone and then get lost because the night is already here. And I'm not talking about the accidents occurring because you don't know where to walk, only a certified guide will ensure your safety. Sometimes it seems safe to you but without the guide you could have burn badly your feet just because it's not easy for tourists like us to recognize where it's hot and where it's safe.




One thing I really loved it's the old lava patterns. All the folds the lava makes is, to me, amazing to watch. I spent a fair amount of time just contemplating it.





It really was a trip of a lifetime and I don’t think I will ever see lava like this again or even go to Hawaï again. Also during this trip I saw a whales jumping out of the water, I never thought that would happen to me one day especially considering where I’m living and the conditions you need to see that. I will remember it for a very long time.












See you around !

Automnal view



Yesterday morning I decided to go on a little walk in these woods I haven't been in a while. I wasn't disappointed !! This is my first proper autumnal view of the season 🍂

Never alone on a walk


Despite the other humans you can occasionally see while on a walk (depends on how early it is) there is something I can see almost every time and it's worth every step : Wildlife.

Not always very visible, they usually see us before we see them, sometimes we don't even see them. But when they stay for you to admire them it's worth it. It's not always very impressive, every one has seen a squirrel, ducks, or even deers. But still, to me it's awesome to see some wildlife no matter if it's a very common squirrel or a blue whale. 

From my daily walks, I'll always see very commons animals, but of course when I'm travelling I see amazing things and animals, sometimes rarer like a beluga.

No matter what it is, always exciting !

Misty mornings



Halloween is over, welcome November, almost Christmas 🤗

And welcome to the Christmas weather too ! The mornings are starting to be very misty and to have that little something that makes you want to wake up early every morning for a quick walk just admiring the landscape. 


These mornings are my absolute favourites ! And I'm not living in a specially amazing place but as long as I make the effort to go out I'm always rewarded !

My new walking buddy


People of the world ! Meet Moxly 😍

Here's the reason why I've been quiet the past days, he's a 10 weeks old puppy and need a lot of my attention, which I don't mind give at all 🥰

He's a Kooikerhondje (Kooiker), not very common breed but extremely cute 💕

I can't wait to go on hikes with him and show him the world. You'll see some of  him in future hikes ! 

Stay tuned, some other articles are coming very soon, and you'll see some lava news, autumnal colours and more !

And I'm flying higher

2016 - Norway
There are on this planet so many stunning places to see and to hike in. It's often while walking that a animal will appear, just for few seconds, just for your eyes only, don't miss it ! A wild animal or a stunning sunset/sunrise that will stay with amazing colors just for 10 seconds, but you'll see it.
These moments are the best.

And besides the furtives views while hiking, for me there are also the views from the planes while flying somewhere. It's not always but sometimes you'll see an amazing view, for few seconds only, just for you and I'm grateful for every time it happened to me.

This planet is beautiful and sometimes she decides to gift us with a reward.

It's not always easy to take a picture from a plane, mostly because the window will not be very clean, but sometimes the landscape is so beautiful that it doesn't really matters, does it ?

I remember that time a long time ago when I travelled to Canada and on the way back I had a sunset and a sunrise at the same time. The sun just went down for few minutes before it came back again, it was a... strangely nice feeling.

2017 - France
Almost two years ago, on my way to Hawaii, I remember being surprisingly amused by the view because, even though it was December, there isn't a winter there, at least not the way we know it in Europe and, after leaving the freezing London airport I was ready to jump in the warm water and snorkel a little bit. My mind was set and I was already applying sun cream all over me. So I was quite amused to see the snow while going through the US.
