Sacred place for the Aboriginal people, UIuru, huge ocher monolith in the middle of the arid desert of Australia's Red Centre, is truly a magical place. I went there in June 2017, at the very end of my first trip around the country, and I really loved my brief stay... Come feel the magic of Uluru with me!

When I arrived in Australia at the end of June 2016, I stayed for two days with an extremely welcoming couple: Viv and Craig, my first Australian friends. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to see them again, and it was on Facebook that I learned of Craig's passing on May 9 2022. A year later, I decided to publish the story of these two days, in tribute to Craig and in memory of this wonderful encounter.

From mid-March to mid-April, Japan lives to the rythm of the Sakura season, the period during which the cherry blossoms are blooming. It's an extraordinary sight, worth a trip just for itself! Here are 5 suggestions of places around Tokyo to enjoy it as much as possible.

Tokyo is a city of contrasts. Quiet and narrow lanes and constantly busy wide boulevards, huge parks and forests of skyscrapers, ancient temples and ultramodern buildings... Nothing illustrates it better than the neighbour suburbs of Harajuku and Shibuya. From the peaceful atmosphere of a shinto shrine to the biggest pedestrian crossing in the world, from an alternative art gallery to the fanciest street of the city, you will go from surprise to surprise as you walk there. So if you're visiting Tokyo, don't forget to spend one day in Harajuku and Shibuya!
