  • Ten hours in Toulouse

    Last September, while au pairing in the small French town of Pamiers, I decided to venture, on one of my days off, to nearby Toulouse. I left the house bright and early (at least by the standards of a nocturnal university student) and was strolling along the streets of...

  • Come back to France, Toulouse's direction!

    The advantage of living in the north of Spain (Zaragoza) is having a direct access on the south of France. According to the breton inside me, I've barely gone more down than Bordeaux and less more in autumn. It can be said that to me the South is not really accessible...

  • Week 11: The Final Weeks

    It was the penultimate week in France before the Christmas holidays and I was looking forward to the joys of an English Christmas, and, England. As much as France is a lovely place to live, you start to miss your home comforts after a while, especially at a time like...

  • Week 9: The Week of the Paris Attacks & Dealing with the Aftermath of Incidents / Attacks Abroad

    Week 9 wasn't the easiest of weeks, and I'm not going to lie - this week marked a bit of a turning point for everyone. Moods changed, and suddenly it seemed that everyone wanted to go home. This of course was completely normal considering that Paris was the latest city...

    I headed back to Toulouse, ready to head to university once again. But, I wasn't to stay in Toulouse for long. My friend, Hayley, who was studying in Montpellier at the time, had her birthday and had planned a big girls' trip to Barcelona. I hadn't visited Barcelona...

  • The Shady Side of Toulouse: Week 4

    Week 4 You know when you hit a turning point? This was it. This was the make or break week - and unfortunately for me I hit both. I'd like to think I'm the sort of person who can deal with a lot - I've dealt with emotional stress before, and had real-life experiences...

    The week 3 of living in Toulouse came around very quickly. Before you even know it, you've been living in a country for three weeks, you get used to the daily commute to uni, and your French has even improved? I found myself it normal to grab the French daily in the...

  • Getting to know your uni: Week 2
