A Beginner’s Guide to Rajasthan
If you’re travelling to India but have no idea where to start, I highly recommend Rajasthan. It is located in the north-west of India and it’s not too far from New Delhi. Rajasthan is the largest state in India. It is home to magnificent palaces and forts as well as tiger reserves, national parks and even a desert. There is so much beauty to see … Continue reading A Beginner’s Guide to Rajasthan
I made Front Page News!
Yep, that’s right! I was fortunate enough to be on the front page of Island Sun, one of Solomon Islands’ national newspapers. Here’s how it happened: When I travelled to Everest Base Camp in September, my mum asked me to take the Solomon Islands flag with me. I happily did so, knowing it was special to her (and me because I wanted to reconnect with … Continue reading I made Front Page News!
I Trekked to Everest Base Camp
This has been a long time coming. Almost a year ago I announced that I would be fundraising for an amazing charity (Meningitis Research Foundation) to eventually trek to Everest Base Camp. I talked about it to no end (and probably annoyed people doing it) yet I never believed it would actually happen. Last Wednesday, it finally did. I made it to Everest Base Camp! … Continue reading I Trekked to Everest Base Camp
Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Feliz año nuevo! Bonne année! It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog. However, it’s a new year after all and I thought it was time to start writing again. So, I’d firstly like to get you caught up on what I’ve been up to the past few months and why I haven’t been writing. This will be kind of … Continue reading Happy New Year!
Paris All By My Selfie
My summer in Paris is quickly coming to an end and I thought it was time to reflect on the experience. Here are my thoughts: I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this in a previous post, but for those who don’t know, I chose to live with a family for my two months in Paris. In fact, I chose to live with a French friend … Continue reading Paris All By My Selfie
A Few Observations
It’s been a pretty swell year, I can’t lie. But I’d also be lying if I said I didn’t have any setbacks or problems. I mean, I can’t have all the fun all the time. So the following is a short list of complaints I have about living in Paris. This is probably the 0.1% of my time that I don’t enjoy. I may have … Continue reading A Few Observations
The Louvre
They say that life in big cities goes as follows: metro, boulot, dodo (répète) In English that’s: metro, work, sleep (repeat). It’s like eat, sleep, rave, repeat but not fun. And I totally get it. I’m tired all the time. I work all day, spend about two hours on the metro and the second I get home all I want to do is flop on the bed … Continue reading The Louvre
Bienvenue à Paris
A few months ago, I wrote a blog post about moving to Paris in the summer – well I’m here now! This post is a little late (when will one of my posts not start like that?), as I’ve been living here for three weeks now. For the summer, I’m doing an internship in a four-star boutique hotel in the 6th arrondissement. It’s a historic … Continue reading Bienvenue à Paris
Úbeda believe it’s over :(
It’s been over a month since I left Spain. I lived there for 9 months. In that time I made new friends, travelled, drank copious amounts of tinto de verano and ate a whole lot of tapas. Oh yeah, and I learned a language! The towns I lived and worked in are not big at all. I must admit, I was envious when I heard … Continue reading Úbeda believe it’s over 😦
I Spy a Tom in Úbeda (Take 2)
A few weeks ago, Tom came to visit me…again! We thought that coming out to Spain once was an achievement so twice was a bonus. Úbeda’s not exactly the easiest place to get to, as it’s nowhere near an airport. Last time we fit in as much sightseeing as possible, so Tom had already seen everything there was to see in Úbeda, Baeza, Cazorla and … Continue reading I Spy a Tom in Úbeda (Take 2)
