Holidays are now !

We travelled to Paris recently to catch up with family and friends. Parisians (including me) are constantly running around, stressing out and moaning. Everybody is dreaming about getting a week off in South of France or spending a weekend in the country side.

Australians have only 4 weeks off per year, much less than the French who get 5 weeks (plus "les RTT", which are extra days off in lieu of payment when you work more than the basic hours in a week). Yet Australians are so relaxed. They try to balance up work and personal time. Now. Everyday. Which might be a little easier I reckon when you have the most beautiful beaches at your doorstep like in Sydney.

This picture was not taken in sunny Sydney but in Calvi, Corsica. If you are looking for a nice spot for your next trip to Europe, Corsica has lots to offer : pristine waters, gorgeous mountains, typical villages and amazing food. Think smelly sheep cheese, lovely wild boar salami and of course Corsican wine.

Happy weekend everyone !
