Set Off to Explore the World
About Les Vadrouilles de Mbly
Passionate about travel, photography, and gastronomy, I first started sharing my photos on Instagram. Creating this blog quickly became the obvious next step: a free space to share our adventures and give you all the tools to design your own perfect getaways.
For me, traveling is experienced just as much through landscapes as it is on the plate! As a food lover and passionate home cook, I consider local cuisine to be a fantastic gateway into any culture. I love bringing back new flavors and recreating the recipes discovered along the way at home.
The duo behind the lens and the pen
While I am the writer and the technical brain behind Les Vadrouilles de Mbly, this blog is above all a true team effort.
Behind all the screens hides Marien (@Zgoryth_shots), my husband and talented photographer! Since we met on Instagram in 2018, we’ve been exploring the world together: while I roam the narrow streets and unearth the best spots, Marien captures the magic of the places with his sharp eye. It’s his unique vision behind the lens that brings our articles to life and beautifully enhances each of our stories!
OUR TRAVEL CATEGORIES
All our destinations to explore
To help you navigate, we’ve grouped our adventures into main themes: faraway destinations outside of Europe, Europe off the beaten path, and our French getaways.
A quick heads-up: we are currently in the process of translating the blog into English. Since this is a labor of love that takes a little time, our different sections and articles will be opening up gradually. Thank you for sticking with us!
As lovers of slow travel and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, we always favor authentic itineraries at our own pace. Let our stories guide you to design trips that truly reflect who you are!
