The roads of South Africa have many different names: danger is usually the first to come to mind, but honestly i think they are beautiful. Such is the road to Cape Town to Hermanus. A friend of mine recently drove me around and it was simply stunning. Now with summer getting there in South Africa, [...]
You like to drive ? What is best than just the sound of the engine, the wind, a good tune on the radio, and a great road ? Here are some of the best roads in the USA, because they offer wonderful scenery, but also because the drive is great for the driver. A road [...]
I was driving in Kansas last month, and although I could have taken a small plane to get to my destination, I insisted on renting a car and taking the time to enjoy the scenery. I was leaving from Salina, heading west towards Oakley, and the drive was estimated to be 3 hours. I have [...]
The paved road to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park crosses the Utah-Arizona stateline, passes the entrance booth and reaches the visitor center complex, which includes a gift shop, cafe and the new View Hotel, a timber building looking out over the first few miles of the park scenic road (the Valley Drive) as it heads [...]
I had a chance this summer to test drive some 4×4s in France. I was near Compiègne, a city north of Paris, which is famous mostly for… well I can’t think of anything because to be honest it is not the prettiest location on earth. However, I fell madly in love with a very strange [...]

Tuscany, here i am. More than a single road trip, Tuscany has so many great scenic drives to offer that we have decided to introduce the entire area. Quite wide, in the shape of a triangle, Tuscany starts on the beach of Massa, an uneventful coastal town, down to Orbetello in the south, the beach [...]
Iceland. I have been told to come here and to find my soul. Apparently that is one of the best places to regroup with oneself, as the land is barren, the people rough – but nice – and where fire meets ice. Just the perfect explosive location that has given the world Bjork, Sigur Ros, [...]
Let’s drive through the highlands of Scotland. This is one of the best scenic drives you can find in Europe, driving though history, stunning landscape, learning legends and meeting extraordinary people. Our journey starts in Stirling. This town is ok, but truly famous as it is the home of the William Wallace memorial. It rises [...]
This is one of the best drives, provided there is no slow traffic and that weather conditions are good. Driving US1 south, to the end of the road and down to the southernmost point of the USA is quite good. I still have the images of the highway, long and straight with turquoise water on [...]
