No, this isn’t one of those cheesy posts where I confess about how much I’ve learnt about myself during the last year and how I’m a different person now. It’s more of a recognition of how quickly time goes. I’m not quite sure where the time has gone, but I’ve just hit (and passed) the […]

For the Book & Virgin lovers amongst you, it may have come to your attention that last Thursday (3rd March) was in fact ‘World Book Day’. Yes, I’m just as intrigued and puzzled as you are, in trying to understand why one felt it necessary to simplify the value of books into the small, […]

Welcome to 2016! With it being the start of a new year, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and talk to you about my goals for the upcoming year. Last year I had fun. I began one hell of an adventure in Florida, explored Edinburgh, Amsterdam, London, Malta, and many places in the States. I […]

Quaint, quite and quintessentially different… Such are the phrases of which I would choose to describe Morioka Shoten, Tokyo’s new ‘one book’ book store. The store is based inside the heart of Tokyo in the Ganza district, where it chooses to do precisely that… to sell one book at a time. A simple, yet elegant initiative and […]

Today marks the start of my last fortnight in the UK before I catch my plane to the US. At the moment it just feels like I’m going on holiday, I mean there must be hundreds if not thousands of people travelling from the UK to Florida this summer. From the casual glance at me […]

I’m currently sat in a hostel in Edinburgh, just off the Royal Mile, listening as somebody plays the guitar at the other end of the lounge. The past few days have been a jam-packed touristy tour of Scotland’s capital, and I’m loving every minute of it. One thing I’ve particularly enjoyed has been a bookshop trail […]

Ok so firstly I apologise for my absence! These last couple of weeks have seemed like they were never-ending (not in a bad way) and there has been so much to sort out that I’ve not really known if I was coming or going most of the time. When you’re heading off for university that’s something […]

I finally heard back from the University I’ll be spending my next year at! I really don’t know how to tell you how relieved I was to hear from them… I guess maybe it’s how you felt/will be feeling on results day. For me, going on a year abroad is such a huge thing, so […]

The forms have been signed, my beginners’ German certificate has been safely filed away, and as I anxiously wait to hear if I have secured a room in the student halls of Heidelberg, there is no doubt that I will be studying abroad in Germany this year. But before I throw my belongings into the […]
