Maison Du Victor Hugo

Another Sunday and another day of adventure. Today, we decided to visit the former Paris house of Victor Hugo. The best thing is that this was free to visit! Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a towering figure in 19th-century French literature, renowned for his contributions as a novelist, poet, and dramatist. His works often combined profound […]

All 4 One – I Swear

My selection for today is based on my recent visit to Alexandre Dumas’s mansion based on the famous phrase All For One and One For All by the three musketeers. All-4-One is an American R&B and pop group that gained fame in the 1990s with their romantic ballads and smooth harmonies. Known for their soulful […]

Chateau de Monte Cristo

I knew about this place which is a stone throw away from where I live and finally decided on a sunny but cold afternoon to visit this place. After visiting Jules Verne’s house in Amiens, we decided to visit the country mansion of Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was a prolific and celebrated French writer, […]

Selecting Club Med was an especially a good idea since it will have activities to keep the kids occupied and reduces the hassle of thinking about kid friendly activities to keep them […]

Keane – Everybody’s Changing

As the weather is turning, I also hit a milestone and have my sister visiting me this week. This reminds me that we are constantly growing. I tend to cherish those moments and try to create new memories and moments with my family. This reminded me of the song of this week from Keane. Keane […]

The World of Jules Verne

I am in Amiens for my Birthday weekend and as I was selecting for a location, I discovered that Jules Verne used to be one of the most popular resident here. So, who is he? Jules Verne, the renowned 19th-century French novelist and pioneer of science fiction, spent much of his later life in the […]

Kevin Lyttle – Turn Me On

It is my birthday weekend and I was reminiscing of my time back in University in London. I used to have a Korean, Greek, Ukranian and Nigerian housemate in our student accommodation in McLaren House with the postcode SE1 0AP. Can’t believe that I remembered the postcode while typing it in! One of my house […]
