Lol I had originally started this post with a disclaimer like oh lol don’t worry Ollie I like travelling with you too – but he’s probably not going to get round to reading this, nor is he that insecure, so whatever. Sucks to be you, Oliver. Don’t get me wrong, I do love to travel […]

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n my last trip to Paris, I finally got round to doing something I’ve been meaning to do for over a year. Ever since my first day in Paris, I’ve been saying ‘I must climb Notre Dame’ and yet here I am, well over a year late, and I’ve literally only just done it. Now […]

[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ere I am, lying in bed watching House on French netflix and eating chocolate. It’s Sunday night and I’m in Paris. I’ve been here for just over 24ish hours and this time tomorrow I’ll be at home in the UK trying to manoeuvre the tube strike. It’s been a pretty fleeting visit, but that’s life. […]

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]‘ve kinda run out of ways to blog about Paris as a series of separate bits, so this post is going to be pretty eclectic.

Here’s the capital of France but only five things – you have to make up the rest yourself. Trust me, I’m a Paris expert. I’m […]

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his is something that has been in the back of my mind for ages now. Literally months – maybe even coming up to a year! Yes I lived in Paris for 10 months, and no I did not have the time of my life. Except I did. I had the best year of my life. […]

[dropcap]M[/dropcap]y year abroad is very over. I’ve been home from Paris for about three weeks, or so. Damn. I’ll be honest, Paris seems like a long time ago, if it even happened at all. I feel like I’ve been on my sofa watching Jeremy Kyle for years and years, maybe even my whole life, and […]

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n the Paris skyline, there’s one building that really stands out. No, I’m not talking about the Eiffel Tower. I’m talking about Montparnasse. The great black monstrosity that stands just back from St. Germain, at the end of Rue de Rennes. I’m no stranger to Montparnasse, in all its looming hideousness. I went to school […]
