Wanderlust Wednesday

Wanderlust Wednesday: August 11, 2010

Just got back from a quick getaway to Marseille, a city that’s only two hours from Nice but is a completely different atmosphere. Whereas Nice is one giant tourist attraction, Marseille has a hard time attracting tourists with its reputation for being dirty and dangerous. Yet I really enjoyed myself and the city–and it made [...]

Wanderlust Wednesday: August 4, 2010

Can you believe it’s already August? In France, that means that just about every small business closes for vacation–leaving us all scrambling to find a new bakery or pasta shop.

Wanderlust Wednesday: July 28, 2010

Today, the best friend that I’ve made in Nice is leaving to return to England. It seems these days like everyone is leaving Nice to return to university or to move onto their next destination.

It celebrates the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution on July 14, 1789. Businesses [...]

Wednesday Wanderlust: July 7, 2010

After a much-needed vacay in Paris, I’m back in Nice and back in action. July is finally here, and with it comes hoards of tourists, a too-high humidity percentage and insane summer sales. I’m dealing with the lack of air conditioning with zen-like breathing and an insane amount of water. I hope that everyone had [...]

Wednesday Wanderlust: June 23, 2010

While my little travel blogging heart wishes that I could be in the big city for TBEX this week, I’m stuck in Nice. Poor me. Honestly, though, not a day goes by without me thinking how gosh darn lucky I am that this is my home (if only for six months). I’m still a bit [...]
