05.02.2013 Gallo-Romain Museum in Lyon
Tuesday 5th February 2013. I knew that I had to do something so that I could write a new article for my blog. But, although it's only been two weeks since finishing exams, I found it impossible to find any motivation. With each day I felt less and less happy. It was...

My Erasmus Experience in Maastricht, The Netherlands by Laura

Finding Accommodation in Murcia, Spain

Herăstrău Park
Herăstrău Park is the biggest park in Bucharest, Romania. I'd recommend renting a bike for two hours to get round it, I believe the yellow ones are cheaper than the green ones. You can cycle around the huge lake which is in the centre of the park and whilst cycling...
