Here for the Photo Opps: Golf Fang Cardiff Review
As usual, I’m a little late getting around to reviewing some new thing. That said, I did make the effort to get myself over to Golf Fang, a new mini golf course in Cardiff. Golf Fang describes itself as a ‘sprayground’ that combines graffiti, crazy golf and cocktails, which I believe is a pretty apt…

It’s that time of year, once again.
It’s that time of year once again, where I reappear out of thin air to tell you about how I’m Not Setting Myself New Year’s Resolutions but I will be trying to get back into blogging (I think I’ve promised that in several of my latest posts, which were admittedly quite a while ago). The…

Back to the Blog Slog: A Cathartic Exercise
It’s been a while since my last blog post. And a little while since my last Instagram post.

It’s the start of a New Year, once again, which means it’s time for me to write a blog post about all my goals for the upcoming year or whatever, once again. Of course, we know well enough by now that I hate all the New Year nonsense, the insistence that everyone needs to make…

Embracing the Spirit of Christmas in the South of France: Festive Fun in Montpellier
Coming from the UK, I have always considered the south of France as a summer destination. The sort of place where you spend your days lounging on the beach in your swimwear on sunny days sipping from cocktails outside restaurants on warm evenings. The south of France is synonymous with the summer holidays. But the…

The Unnatural Habitat: Things about French University that I did not Expect
Moving to France and starting a year at University Paul Valéry Montpellier has been one of the most confusing experiences of my life. From the admin that seemingly means nothing, to people casually smoking weed on campus, I’ve been perplexed by a fair few things in my two short weeks attending a French uni, so…

The Unnatural Habitat: Montpellier, France First Impressions
Bonjour from Montpellier! Now, I’ve been here for just over a week and experienced my first full week at a French university, which has been something, to say the least. I figured I write you all a little post exploring some insights into French life I’ve experienced so far. Admittedly, I’m not sure if these…
