A broke girl with a bucket list
Alternatively: Everything I Learned in a Year I’ve lost track of how many blog posts I’ve written in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, making use of the free wifi and perched on one of the several surprisingly uncomfortable chairs (seriously how difficult is it […]
The best eats of 2018 How, in one year, 10 countries and roughly 1095 meals does one begin to summarise a year of food? As an exchange student in France, most of that food has been cheap, supermarket-sourced meals, with the occasional cheeky pastry or […]
The Camp Suisse recap I’m not gonna lie, this post has taken me a while to write. I’ve struggled to find the words to encompass just how much this summer has meant for me. Let me explain one thing first: season work is in itself […]
