My first time in Paris (and certainly not my last)
Saturday, 10 March 2012My absolute favourite experience so far has to be my trip to Paris. Liz and I spent a weekend in Lille and Paris, from February 3rd-6th, just as the “Big Freeze” hit France. I’ve been keeping a travel journal throughout my time here, so I have decided to copy up my thoughts on the City of Light and share it with everyone at thirdyearabroad.com.

The last 5 months in less than 400 words.
Saturday, 10 March 2012Leaving it 5 months before posting an update about my Year en France definitely wasn’t intentional, my only excuse is that routine took over and I no longer felt that I had anything of interest to say. However, after speaking with a lovely lady on my flight back to France for the final time, I realised exactly how wrong I was.
