The first post of 2018 – and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write! Here’s a lil life update for all of you… If we were having coffee, I would tell you that my exams start in five weeks’ time. And that terrifies me. It was only this morning that it really hit … Continue reading
BRITISH COUNCIL’S STUDY CHINA Woah… I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally type up what I think about Study China and let you know what this programme is all about. If you haven’t seen them already, there is a vlog series on my YouTube channel where you can see everything I got up … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m back in Oxford and it’s the start of 3rd week already. Where is the time going?! I’m absolutely loving being back and my room this year is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l so I’m trying to make the most of it. There will be a room tour up on YouTube … Continue reading

If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve just got back from China. As much as I couldn’t wait to escape Hangzhou’s humidity, I’m actually pretty sad to be back home.
