Edinburgh

A Tour of the City with The University of Lyon
A Tour of Lyon Saturday 8th September 2012 Saturday was a bit like Friday in that I had to get up early and walk around a lot in the sun. Once again I was like a tourist with my photo equipment and a T-shirt which says 'I Love New York', even though I have never even...

Is it better to go for student halls or a flatshare in Leeds?
One of the major 'problems' or 'dilemmas' that you will face before going on Erasmus is: Where on earth am I going to live? So, of course this is a very personal decision, individual to each person, but in this post I will try to outline what are the advantages and...

Things To Do In Vigo
In all honesty, I have spoken very little about the places which you can see in Vigo, or about the things you can do outside of the city. More or less I never worry about what to do because I know I'll always be here, and that if one day I discover something, I will...

Hvar, a must-see place
Hvar is pretty small and it's quite easy to familiarise yourself with the streets to the point when you don't even need to know the names. The main street consists of a long promenade, lined with small, rocky beaches, and attractions owing to its hotels, bars and...

The Return to France: London to Paris, Paris to Lyon (2) Saturday 5th January 2013 My phone told me that the weather would be nice but it was clear that this was not the case. Quite the opposite in fact, it was foggy and the sky was really grey. I had hoped that the...

Experience in Madrid
What's it like to live in Madrid? Do you recommend it? How is the city? Madrid is a really fantastic city. I'm lucky to have been born, lived and worked there for several summers and I have to admit that it's undoubtedly my favourite Spanish city. It is the typical city...

My Accommodation in Bordeaux
The truth was that I wanted to get there, but also a little afraid of what I was going to find. But the first impression was good, and the fact I was taking the key to my new house, knowing that I would live alone, WOW! It's a challenge, but I think I'll manage...
