There’s been a lack of posts the past few days as I had my graduation (yay!) ceremony in Norwich and was living my last week as a student – more on Norwich in a later post. Montreal It’s really French. Now I know that’s silly to say, Montreal being in Quebec, a province with French … Continue reading
Toronto’s always voted one of the most liveable cities, and I was very excited to go there having heard a lot about it from the Canadian friends made on my semester in Australia. Alan and I were even staying with 2 of them during our short time here – reminds me of what one of … Continue reading
From a city everybody overlooks to a sight everyone wants to experience. We stayed with Alan’s cousin, Kate, in Buffalo, and I will tell you, some parts are actually really lovely. You can appreciate the architecture of basically what look like big farm cottages lined up side by side in a residential area. Kate’s house … Continue reading
First adventure of 2013! May this year, pretty consistent weather in the US, and a road trip is on the agenda! You’re given wine region and USA, and you’ll probably say Napa Valley. Nah-uh. It’s all about the Finger Lakes. Visiting the Finger Lakes wasn’t the original plan but as a certain surprise Alan had … Continue reading
An excellent Paris/Christmas song pun, I know. My lovely older sister, Tanya, took me to Paris in December as my 21st birthday present (which is in November) for a weekend. Needless to say, I was over the moon. And thus a lovely weekend of blue skies (for one day), floral rooms, sight-seeing and the most … Continue reading
New York was part of my trip last September in the US – a while ago, yes, but it’s NEW YORK CITY, so obviously it’s worth mentioning and talking about. Or at least showing you a few pictures. This was just a long weekend, so we were rushed when picking the few things we really … Continue reading
Boston, Massachusetts, has become a pretty special place to me. I’m not just saying that because it would please my Boston-living boyfriend, Alan – although because he lives there is definitely the larger part of the reason I’ve come to like the city so much. I went there end of August into September 2012 and … Continue reading
I’ve decided I’m making a comeback with this blog. And I mean business (but in that fun, not intensely serious kind of way). A lot has happened in the past year. I started this blog to talk about my semester abroad in Melbourne, Australia – well, obviously I’m not there anymore, but it was the … Continue reading
I went to Uluru in 2009 with my dad and my sister (my sister was living in Sydney for a year at this time, so this trip was during mine and my dad’s visit over there). I would truly say there’s never been a place like it in my experience/travels. I have never before been … Continue reading
I’m the last international standing. Or at least I will be in about a week. I’m not sure how to feel about it. Saying goodbye to my other internationals and the Aussies has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and the goodbyes aren’t even all over yet. After the departure … Continue reading
