À BIENTÔT PARIS…

So today I am getting on a plane and leaving France. Nearly 10 months ago to the day I arrived a little nervous and unsure, about to start a new adventure. Now I’m heading back, a little nervous and unsure to start the next chapter. The overwhelming feeling is one of excitement; to be back …

SCHOOL’S OUT…

Yesterday was my last day of school, (well there’s a picnic tomorrow but no studying is involved so it doesn’t count). My exams are over and 10 months of learning French has come to an end. It certainly hasn’t been easy and there have definitely been times when I’ve thought about or really felt like …

CHANGING MINDSET…

Late again with this post, although this time I have a pretty good excuse. My parents were in Paris the last five days and I’ve been spending most of my time with them. Just ignore the fact I had planned to write this BEFORE they came out. I’m also writing this in-between mouthfuls of mini …

WHO I’M FOLLOWING / ACCOUNTS I LOVE…

Since moving to Paris my schedule has changed dramatically. I now have a lot of ‘down time’ during the day, something which I obviously didn’t have before when working a regular job. Some of this time is spent at my French classes, some of it doing homework and some of it (a lot of it) …

THE LITTLE DETAILS…

Two things. Firstly, you’re probably a bit tired of me harping on about Christmas and secondly I’m sorry but I’m not quite done, yet. There  are only 9 days left until Christmas and I’m heading into my last week here in Paris before the New Year. I’ve been a bit under the weather the past …

THE LEAD UP TO THE HOLIDAYS…

Making the most of December in the city of lights...

PICKING YOURSELF BACK UP…

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. I received some really nice messages of support following the post and some really helpful advice from people who’ve been through the same thing. Writing …
