Wow i was TIRED. I slept really hard on the plane and when I got to the metro station to buy my ticket, I just did not see the button for English. When I asked the lady for help, she was super nice but looked at me incredulously like I was seriously the biggest idiot … Continue reading Pining for Porto :d

Moseying over to chill…in Madrid
Easy to catch the metro into the city from the train station 🙂 It's a bit of a walk from the tracks to the Metro but it's all connected. You do need to get a card and then load money/tickets onto it. TIP: There is an option to get a pack of 10 tickets and … Continue reading Moseying over to chill…in Madrid
Zipping around to Zurich
Holy cow you can tell this is a rich place. Menus outside show even a simple Chinese meal can be easily 20€ , twice that of France and Germany. Clean everywhere, no construction - everything is pretty nice already! , Ballroom dress shop, so many hipster fancy shops. Very manicured and safe and calm. And … Continue reading Zipping around to Zurich

Galloping off to Greece!
Got ready and got to the airport seamlessly. Couldn't change to an earlier flight though i was early. However I was only allowed 1 small clear bag to put my lotions and liquids! So aggravating as I bought stuff in advance and sis and I took the time to put in bottles and other flights … Continue reading Galloping off to Greece!
Moseying over to Montpellier
Day 1: Went by train from Toulouse to Montpellier and it was seamless 🙂 Got to Carnon beach via the T3 tram line and the navette (free shuttle) - Very easy and good connections. It is set up very similarly to Toulouse so that made it simple to understand. Cheap pricing too: 1,60€ each way. … Continue reading Moseying over to Montpellier

Cinq Terre + Pisa & Reflections / Part 3
I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay a few days w/ M in Monterosso. We took the train there from La Spezia (very cheap and on time and clean!). We went to the beach, chilled out, had some nice walks. Ate some great food too... one place was so friendly and … Continue reading Cinq Terre + Pisa & Reflections / Part 3
Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
My friends and I rented a car from Drivvy and my friend J drove V&J and I to Sarlat-la-Canéda. It's a lovely little town about 2.5 hours away. The drive there was lovely and I fell asleep and woke up to some major crazy navigation as we were driving down a random backstreet laneway LOL … Continue reading Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda

First friend to come to visit! T is from Finland but now living in Germany. We met in Melbourne. 🙂 She arrived on Thursday afternoon. It was good to see her and to chill and show her around a bit as the morning was hectic. I had been to the gym, talked to the owner … Continue reading Mon amie T comes to visit 😀
