As I sit here starting to write this I’m on the Eurostar heading back to Paris. I’ve spent two weeks in England for Christmas, the first at my parents in Suffolk and the second in London at my sisters. I had every intention of writing a post whilst home, but the truth is I was … Continue reading AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT WAS TIME TO GO BACK…
I’m going to keep it short and sweet this week. In all honesty, I’ve not been up to all that much and with a test coming up on Thursday at school I’ve been trying (note the use of the word trying…I’m having varying degrees of success) to spend some time revising. It’s no secret that … Continue reading IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS…
2018 has been a big year for me, I've decided to take a look back and think about what I've achieved and what I'm grateful for...
In my last post, I was pretty honest about how I’ve been feeling and how I’ve really struggled with not being in my home country the last couple of weeks.

This was my first time celebrating a birthday abroad and I wanted to make it a memorable one! I’m very lucky … Continue reading MY FIRST BIRTHDAY ABROAD…
This week I started school. At the age of 27 I became a student once again, although this time around will be a little different from my university days, no staying out drinking late and then rolling into lectures hungover. I’m going to have to concentrate, really concentrate if I’m going to learn French as … Continue reading THREE CLASSES AND SIX HOURS DOWN…
I’ve made the decision to post just once a week from now on. You can expect my weekly update each Sunday afternoon/early evening. I’ve been finding it difficult to have enough to write about/have enough time during the week, and I want to make sure I’ve actually got something interesting to say! Last week I … Continue reading BEING MY BEST TOURIST SELF…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my move and the things I’ve come to like most about being in France. There’s no doubt that a lot of things are different here, and I’m definitely missing some of my home comforts but I’m going to start by sharing the things I like most. My host family. … Continue reading IT’S NOT ALL SUNSHINE & ROSES…
