I purchased a little heater from FNAC, a shop throughout France that sells books, tvs, multimedia, home appliances... a mixed bag of just stuff. I had to order it on Monday but finally got it on Thursday and just in time... it was 2C at 6am on Friday! I did ask Airbnb to ask my … Continue reading Bon weekend vraiment!

Day trip à Carcassonne
Up by 7am, we had a big breakfast that got us going to walk to the Saint-Cyprien market. Cute and small, it has it's own character. There was a massive pumpkin the size of a massive pizza pan and some nice lookin soup in it 🙂 We then went with Blablacar and had a good … Continue reading Day trip à Carcassonne
Quel busy day!! ohh la la
What a busy day! I woke up rather early but took some time rustling up breakfast. Then, off I hopped onto my bike and got going to get around passing out resumes. TIP: Toulouse is really flat and many bike-friendly paths. You can go in either direction on almost all roads even if it's only … Continue reading Quel busy day!! ohh la la
Wine bars for lunch & dinner: Paris edition

Open late all nights except Sunday ; Lunch only for Sunday. Excellent wine options and very filling cheese and charcuterie platters.

Lazing around Leipzig
I was up early and so I decided to check in with my parents and we had a good long video chat. I also got a few messages from my host to go to the Natural History museum for free and to go have lunch/dinner but I declined all offers. I want to believe it … Continue reading Lazing around Leipzig
First non-Bach day in Leipzig :)
I slept alright all things considered, staying in a room above a bar! I had quality, industrial-approved ear plugs so that helped... until the adjoining room neighbours started talking loudly for hours... 😦 The noise from the bar wasn't too bad. It was more the vibrations from the bass... You can feel it pulsing! I … Continue reading First non-Bach day in Leipzig 🙂
Leaving for Leipzig
Got ready in the AM and after making breakfast and lunch for the day, I check out and get to the bus station without any issues. I took the Leo Express bus (they have trains too) and it was on time. There was machine coffee on the bus (I assume it was free?) and free … Continue reading Leaving for Leipzig
Island hopped to Hvar
I woke up early and after packing up my breakfast, clothes, snacks and water, off I bolted off to get the 7am train to link up with the 740am ferry. Forgot my hat silly me, so will need to be in the shade for sure! As I walked the short 7min/500m dash to the train … Continue reading Island hopped to Hvar
Splendid day in Split
Took it easy this morning and lazed around as it was either taking the 7am or 9:50am train... no way I could do 7am today haha! I was told I could buy the ticket on the train but there was a bit of a kerfuffle on the train train as we had a slight miscommunication. … Continue reading Splendid day in Split
First impression of Makarska
My friend M & S dropped me off at my Airbnb and it is great. Love havin my own washroom! Also, my own balcony and fridge. It's near the stadium so hopefully it's not too loud but it's so close to a Lidl grocery shop, the main town and a popular beach. Only about 1km … Continue reading First impression of Makarska
