Agreed, I've never been disappointed in Accor hotels ( Mercure and Ibis mostly)

I'm not a fit person (at least 20kg overweight) but I have strong legs which help me a lot. It seems my son inherited my legs, he powers through without complaining. I think next year I'll try a week long 700km trip with him, I wo

We tried out Ibis Budget hotel last weekend. When I booked it I thought it's going to be crap, but 70€ a night with 2 breakfast was too good a deal. It turned out great actually, it's a no thrill experience but it has all you need

We have our bikes and we travel around 70 to 100km a day. Last weekend we did 77km the first day, 95km the second day. This equates to 6-8 hours on the saddle. He found a passion for it and he keeps asking me to do such trips. What's h

That's what I'm looking for: a cheap bedroom at someone's place for a night in the middle of nowhere, it used to be their core business. I never found one, so we plan our trip to stop in big towns to get an hotel.

What you call feminist writing has been around in academic circles for a long time, it really burst out recently with woke movement. I like the idea about Académie, at least it defines a way to write new words. Some are picked up by people,

I do cycling trips with my 10 year old son, we need a simple and cheap solution to spend a night in a different place every day. The requirements are: two beds or big double bed, cheap and breakfast included if possible. I never found anyth

My company has a goal of 35% women in executive position. The thing is that we are working in the industry, you know, factories and machines. This environment does not attract women, we barely have women engineers. That means that any wome

As a cyclist in a town with a lot of cyclist, I see less aggressive behaviour in my town, than in the countryside where people are not used to cyclist. I was discussing with a fellow cyclist and we agreed that some countryside places were p

I call this egoism. Modern ecologism just aims to make a nice walled garden around their voters, they don't care what is happening outside this garden. In the reality, other parts of the country/earth is getting polluted to produc

It is just cargo cult. The value of these old Toyota and Honda makes no sense. I was looking to buy an old Toyota because of the hype on internet, but there are not a lot of them being in Europe, and 70% of them had an engine issue (threads

Well, having fun is a very subjective thing. I was not a party guy neither but I must admit I did not need to work like you. It is just that I went abroad to study. That was an adventure for me as I could barely speak English at 18. I lived
