La Graciosa: The Hidden Jewel of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain)
Ah, La Graciosa — Literally “The graceful”, or “The fun one”. Just saying the name brings back the memories of dusty trails, endless turquoise waters, and that peculiar scent of sea breeze mixed with volcanic earth.
It’s hard to believe this tiny island, often overshadowed by Lanzarote’s dramatic attractions, remains such a well-kept secret. It’s not even that remote! But maybe that’s its magic—hidden, untouched, and breathtakingly wild.
This was definitely the highlight of our trip to the Canary Islands, one of those places with an “end of the world” feeling that we love at Penguin Trampoline!

Adventure in Morocco: Marrakesh and the Sahara
Landing in Morocco, you're hit with a swirl of spices, desert warmth, and the energy of a place that’s as vibrant as it is rooted in history.
I (Eli) went from Marrakesh to the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, driving through the Atlas Mountains, secret gorges, oasis and cinematic towns like Ouarzazate.
Buckle up, little penguins; here’s what a true Moroccan adventure looks like. يله! (Yallah=Let’s go)
The Bubble Theory
In the most visited regions, mass tourism is sometimes perceived negatively by the local population. Locals often complain about tourists: "They wouldn’t do this at home"!
Without reaching the extreme case of party tourism in seaside resorts, most travelers notice an alteration of their behavior and perception. And for longer stays, they even come back transformed, different.
How can such a phenomenon be explained? Find out more about what I call the "bubble theory".
How to avoid — or reduce — jet lag
Your eyes open in an unfamiliar place... all of a sudden, you remember, you’re in New Zealand! But it's 4am, and you can't go back to sleep.
Sounds familiar? Since we know this too well, we have gathered some tips on how to avoid jet lag, or at least reduce it:
What to do before travelling? What to do on the plane? What to do during your trip? What to do when you come back?
Travel Bug: Virus or passion?
You catch it one day, without warning. Restless legs, a lack of something, too long without flying, without new horizons, without jet lag…
Until the next departure, you collect objects related to travel, almost as an addiction. Your loved ones even encourage you with a world map to scratch with the destinations you visit, or a world clock.
A world clock!! You can have breakfast at Sydney time and dinner at LA time. Awesome…
