*Originally written in 2016* Today I was reminded why it is best, as a human of the female variety, to dress like a hobo when venturing out into the Parisian urban jungle. Well, at least in my neighbourhood. I recently bought a jacket, a sweater, and two pairs of jeans. I decided to wear this... Continue Reading →
That Day I Got Attacked
So much for feeling relatively safe in my neighbourhood despite its "charms"... I was walking home from the metro station, and was very close to my house.

France Day 1 – Paris
I originally wanted to do a vlog and update it while I was in France. Then I realized it was too much work, and I didn't have any time to waste while I was there. Then I wanted to edit all the footage I shot into a sort of delayed vlog, or a movie, or... Continue Reading →
