Koh kood.. an hidden gem .. Soneva experience starts with a short flight by private plane from Bangkok to Koh Kood, this cute island located in the golf of Thailand, just next to Koh Chang, between the China Sea and the Andaman Sea… A wild and still preserved paradise that has much fewer tourists than other Thai islands. Koh Kood is a real wonder which offers us sublime landscapes, forests, waterfalls, sandy beaches lined with …

All cat owners ( and animals in general actually ) know that it is always a bind, trying to find someone to take care of your furry friend when it is time to go on vacation. Those of you who are lucky enough, leave them with family or loved ones or even kind neighbours, but for others that are less fortunate it can be quite …

Voila, summer is officially over… time for what is so poetically named the spring of winter, with its dead leaves, rain, foggy and freezing mornings… But we must stay positive, after all Autumn is not that bad.. and even if the days become shorter and the sun is a little less present, it is a beautiful season for slowing down and appreciating cosy nights in, …

London’s Calling ! A few days ago, I had to travel to London for a photo shoot. This job was booked the evening before I had to actually be there… It could not be more last minute.. and obviously when it came to booking transport I found myself helpless because of the sky high prices of a fully booked Eurostar… But strangely enough, the cost and the …
