Hello lovely people,
Sorry, it's been a little while since I last wrote, I've been very very busy over here. Some of my biggest news recently is that I've now got my own radio show on my university's radio station, Insanity 103.2FM. You can tune in online and listen to me at 12-1pm on Tuesdays where I will be talking about travelling in different countries, each week somewhere different - so listen to 'Around the World in 80 Shows'!
Listen Here
Therefore I'm going to attempt to write a blog post each week to tie in with each show, just to sum up everything I've talked about in each show, so if anyone is really listening they can find all the information I have here in one place, choosing to use it if they want!
This week I visited Paris, in reality, and on the show, therefore, apart from going on and on about the utter romance of Paris here are the few practicalities I talked about earlier on today.
