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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 32
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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… + GIVEAWAY! | Vol. 31
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve just come back from a week-long trip to Uzbekistan with Kalpak Travel. I am absolutely amazed by this country and I can’t wait to share all of my posts with you. Hopefully you followed the adventures over on Instagram so you’ve seen a taster 😉 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 30
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. It ended too quickly and I want to be back already. China was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have had a better […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 29
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m currently in China. Over the past two weeks, I toured some sights and met with friends in Beijing; I travelled to Inner Mongolia for four days; and I’ve just started my Study China programme here in Hangzhou. If we were having coffee, I would tell you […]

It was a pretty spontaneous booking and neither of us have been to either country.That’s another two I can tick off 😉 I’ll […]
New College Boat Party | Uni Diaries
A couple of weeks ago, New College had its annual Boat Party on the River Thames. This year’s theme was Casino, with the dress code being, ‘Black with a hint of red‘. This was the first black-tie event of term in my calendar and we were all looking forward to dressing up and escaping leaving Oxford for […]
I’M BACK – If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 26
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I have just launched my new blog! Have you noticed that I’ve now got rid of the wordpress.com at the end of my URL?! Not only have I purchased my own domain (hellooooo www.apieceofviola.com), but I’ve also gone self-hosted so keep your eyes peeled for some exciting […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 24
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m currently sitting in Burger King at Shanghai’s International Airport. I’ve just devoured a spicy chicken meal and I’ve been catching up on blog comments. The airport wifi is definitely the fastest wifi I have come across so far on this trip! Did you see my […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 22
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that this term ends next Saturday. Next Saturday?! It’s insane how fast this term has gone but, at the same time, I’ve actually done so much and barely remember the first few weeks (they seriously feel like they were months ago). I have an incredibly busy week lined up: Law […]
