THE HAIRY GIRAFFE… IN UZBEKISTAN

Welcome to Uzbekistan, a still too little-known gem of Central Asia!


We are François and Benjamin, giraffe hairstylists and travel enthusiasts. On this blog, discover our travels, tips, moods, and everything you need to become a giraffe hairstylist and embark on travelling the world. An honest blog with photos guaranteed 100% unfiltered and untouched.

We’re taking you with us to this fascinating country, the birthplace of the legendary Silk Road, a network of trade routes that connected Asia to Europe for centuries. We’re tracing the footsteps of merchant caravans and explorers who traversed these lands. It’s a journey to discover the iconic cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, where Islamic architecture, mausoleums, and madrasas stand as architectural treasures.

Following each of our trips, we share our assessment! Explore our impressions, moods, favorites, and criticisms. Sometimes, we have different perspectives, so we each write our own review!

A trip to Uzbekistan also offers the opportunity to explore the Aral Sea, or rather, what remains of it. A poignant testimony to one of the greatest environmental tragedies of the 20th century.

And as we love to bring back souvenirs from each of our trips, we’re sharing with you our favorite keepsakes.
