Now back at uni, I've got less exciting photos to show. But at the start of the month I went home to England for a week, and I also visited my 16th and final German state, meaning I at least got some decent photos!

Gallivanting around Geneva
The trip from Montpellier to Geneva by train was a little more chaotic than planned, with our initial train direct from Avignon to Geneva being cancelled (new word learnt: supprimé), meaning we had to take a train from Avignon to Lyon and then change there to Geneva. But we arrived just over an hour later than… Continue reading Gallivanting around Geneva
Mooching around Montpellier
After taking the train from Valencia, we arrived in Montpellier pretty much on time (weird for my travelling luck, but not complaining). Our hotel was perfectly located opposite the train station. We stayed at Hotel Comédie Saint Roch, All in all pretty good with friendly staff, but the breakfast was a little chaotic (I sound… Continue reading Mooching around Montpellier
Colmar, Strasbourg and the Castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg: A Brief Trip to Alsace, France
About a month ago, I received a text message from a friend at about 10.30pm on a Monday evening: “How spontaneous are you?”. My reply was: “Not that spontaneous at 10.30pm on a Monday evening.” Luckily, he wasn’t referring to doing something that late on a school night, but he was referring to a spontaneous… Continue reading Colmar, Strasbourg and the Castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg: A Brief Trip to Alsace, France
Hung(a)ry in Budapest
I genuinely couldn't think of a better pun for the title, so you're going to have to cope with that old one. Sorry. But yes - another year, another city checked off the list. Along with Anna, who I went to Prague with last year, last week I headed to Budapest to see what the… Continue reading Hung(a)ry in Budapest
Czeching out Prague
Last weekend, an old uni friend, Anna, and I headed to Prague which, for both us, was the first time we've been to Eastern Europe. With my flight being only 55 minutes long and hers being just about 2 hours, I had an hour wait in the airport reading my newly purchased "Eastern Europe" phrase… Continue reading Czeching out Prague
A German’s first time in Britain
(Just to note, as per: This article is not meant to cause any offence - it's purely all meant as a joke, of course!) Ah, Germans. Aren't they great? With their Hausschuhe and their Brötchen... I wrote a nice little post about them a few weeks ago which you can read here. But, what happens when… Continue reading A German’s first time in Britain
Osterwochenende
(English below!) Wenn man doppelt so viel Zeit an einem Wochenende hat, dann muss man die Zeit natürlich gut nutzen, und genau das habe ich am Osterwochenende dieses Jahr gemacht. Insgesamt habe ich die folgenden Städte zum ersten Mal besucht: Hachenburg, Porz, Zündorf und Troisdorf. Komische Kombination? Das wir sich klären... In Hachenburg hat Tim… Continue reading Osterwochenende
Braunschweig and Hannover – Business Trip Style
It took me a lot less time than expected to get back to Niedersachsen, but I managed it, and all thanks to my work. My company's headquarters is in Braunschweig (or if we're going to properly stick to English, "Brunswick"), and I was sent there on a 3-day training course for a couple of the… Continue reading Braunschweig and Hannover – Business Trip Style
