Just like that time has flown by and I'm back home in Melbourne... The last week in Vancouver was a whirlwind but it was good to see friends and family again.

Pining for Porto :d
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.

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
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

Learning a bit more French slang: d'acc = D'accord qg = quartier generale = local, like your local watering hole/ bar 🙂 TIP: traditionnel is apparently THE BEST type of baguette 😀 I treated my housemate for dinner as he saved my butt by makin me lunch back in mid-March. He had a fun suggestions … Continue reading Kinda, sort back to normale?
Bureaucracy en France… ohhhhh la la
Well wellllll well well well…. I finally made it to the Work Inspection office (L’inspection du travail). To catch you up on this, the consulate advised me to go there to get the final/official advice on whether I can work remotely.
