My Picks and Travel Tips

What is my favorite destination in the USA?

What is my favorite destination in the USA: Maine. To eat freshly caught lobsters and negotiated directly with a fisherman on the wharf. For the holiday atmosphere, the restaurants with red and white checkered tablecloths, for the beaches and children playing from morning till night in the rocks searching for treasures from the sea. For my childhood memories and the moments that are shaping my children's memories.

A tip for your trip to the USA

Advice for your trip to the USA: Go enjoy a small basket of 'fried clams' at the Clam Shack in Kennebunk Port, MA. OK, yes, it's very popular, but it hasn't lost its authenticity despite the great popularity. It's worth it and the cost!

What is my favorite season in the USA?

What is my favorite season in the USA? Of course it depends on where you are, but if we focus on New England, it would be summer. It is sunny and warm 98% of the time, the sea is warm enough for swimming, there is a holiday atmosphere and everyone is happy!

Don't forget to pack in your luggage:

Don't forget to pack in your luggage: a good bottle of French wine to share with me! ; -) ''a wine is never as good as the person you drink it with!''

What is my dream trip?

My dream trip: A family trip where we would take the time to experience every place we visit. A kind of immersion that would make us, for a moment, inhabitants of the places. No matter where, there are as many places to discover as there are inhabitants on this planet!
