In Chassey-les-Montbozon, France, one might find the perfect place for the ultimate relaxation: Floating Cabins. That’s right: Eco-friendly cabins are available for rent floating on the waters of the magnificent Les Grands Lacs, where nature is preserved at its wild and untouchable condition. A boat is the only way to access the cabins for two, while family cabins are connected by a wooden boardwalk. Continue reading →

OK, so I have to ask: how come no one thought of this before? I mean, we’ve all been there, picking up and dropping our kids at soccer practice or making runs to the supermarket or shopping mall – wherever we’re driving, loose stuff in the back always seem to end up rolling and sliding from one side to the other, making a total mess.

Sometimes I wish I had the feeling we are going camping, also adding more time to such outings!
Like cooking a simple meal on the spot for example, or boiling up some fresh herb tea. On the other hand, keeping it simple is really important, too. Being armed like the Nasa is not my cup of tea concerning camping equipment. It might as well be that Biolite’s kettle pot, which is just recently released is a good option to consider, combined with the same brand’s popular Campstove. Continue reading →

Can nostalgia and adrenaline go together? At the beginning, I was very skeptical about it. I admit it. I wasn’t sure that me presenting what I’m about to today, here, would be the best choice as a matter of fact. I notified my editor about it and I was quickly given another option. Sometimes, all you need is just some time and space in order to be free to look into matters.

It certainly doesn’t go unnoticed and am personally intrigued to how the experience is going to be. Soaking up in steamy 104 degrees water, while being surrounded with more water, enjoying the Seattle skyline from Lake Union, lounging with your loved one or friends in a luxurious, fully equipped boat.

Even though the TrolleyTote is not the most glamorous basket you’ll find on the market, it has a heart of gold. Combining wheels and engineering grade plastic, the TrolleyTote functions as a bike basket, wheeled trolley and stacking crate, plus it snaps shut when done (so perhaps you can hide it from your hipster mates).
