My completed Paris bucket list

I made myself a little Paris bucket list when I first moved here all the way back in September, adding to it each time I came across something I wanted to do. I am incredibly proud to say that a couple of days ago, on my last weekend in Paris, I completed it. This evoked a

May favourites

I couldn’t be more in denial about the fact that we are now entering into June if I tried. The next time I post a monthly favourites will be the day I leave Paris. I’m in a bit of a strange place head wise, torn between never wanting to leave here and being excited to

My top 5 Paris museums

Upon moving to Paris I very quickly lost count of how many times I visited ‘top 10 things to do in Paris’ or ‘must sees in Paris’ websites. After over 8 months of living here I thought it was time I made my own. I have worked my way around the vast majority of museums

April Favourites

April has been the fastest month of the year by far, as a matter of fact February-May has felt shorter than the single month of January. I can count the number of weeks I have left here on my two tiny hands now, and I am trying my best to make the most of every

March favourites

March has been a fun filled month, and I would be loving life right now if it weren’t for the crippling realisation that I will only write another three monthly favourites here in Paris. Let’s just get on with it before I start to cry because there is a student sitting studying in my office

February favourites

Well February felt like it lasted about two days compared to January. I am now officially 3/5 of my way through my time in Paris and consequently freaking out. No worries though as I have multiple exciting things planned in the foreseeable future. February was one of those up and down months, both metaphorically and

An ode to the Eiffel Tower

Visiting the Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly the most touristy thing you can do in Paris, potentially even in the whole of France. Considering the fact that I have lived in the City of Light for almost six months now you would think I’d be a bit over it by now. I am not. I have

January Favourites

Think of this as my highlights reel and favourite things from all 3647974 days of January. Seriously though, it has been January for AGES. I’m hoping to make this a monthly thing, I feel like looking back over each month will help me to realise how much I was capable of doing within it. My

Hey time, can you just like slow down a bit please

Today marks an entire year since I was offered my internship in Paris and of course, in true Lauren style, it’s got me feeling all mushy and emotional. Not like in a teary way, I’m not really a cryer, but more in an ohmygodwhyisitgoingsofast way (apologies for making you try to figure that out). I’ve

Noël à Paris

Right now I am experiencing a whole lot of festive cheer but also a whole lot of extreme terror because the arrival of Christmas means that I have now been living in France for four months. FOUR WHOLE MONTHS. Literally everyone told me that my time here would go incredibly fast and I definitely did
