Sri Lanka offered us an intense, generous and memorable trip at the end of November 2025. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the warm welcome and omnipresent kindness that we had never experienced so strongly on our previous trips. Spontaneous smiles, thoughtful gestures, simple but authentic exchanges. This road trip across the island took us through tea plantations, sacred temples, tropical landscapes, wildlife and palm-fringed beaches. At each stage, there was a new atmosphere, a new light, a new palette of colours.

But as is often the case when travelling, things don't always go exactly as planned. Our last four days were disrupted by Cyclone Ditwah. Although we were always safe, the extreme weather conditions forced us to stay indoors, bringing our exploration to an abrupt end. It was frustrating, of course, but also a reminder of the power of nature and the unpredictability of travel. Despite this abrupt end, Sri Lanka will remain a vibrant and endearing destination for us. It is a country that is as much about experiencing as it is about discovering, and we invite you to explore it with us, step by step, through our words and Marc's images.

Twelve years after our honeymoon, we returned to Iceland in winter. Ten days exploring a land of extremes and raw beauty, where ice, wind, and light shape breathtaking landscapes. This journey felt like stepping into another world — one of striking contrasts and golden light. An intense rediscovery, which we share with you here, step by step, through our words and Marc’s images.
