I'M ALIVE

Hi girls (and boys) sorry it's been so long.
I've been running around so much since I left, trying to make it from one place to the next and meeting loads of people in hostels and coming in late at night.
So much to talk about and report back, here is the brief: London was fast paste, Dublin is an amazing city, Barcelona = Party Party Party! The shopping is a little too boho for me though.
I'm currently in Paris, I'll be briefly in London and Belgium as well before I leave. I can't even carry my backpack and the extra suitcase I had to get due to my shopping, but I lie and tell people it's souvenirs for others, though it is a half truth. You would be laughing if you saw me trying to lug myself through the dirty Paris Metro.
I have a good reward though, the hostel I'm staying in is amazing probably the best I've ever been to and I've been to plenty. Curtains for your bed, a night light, two power adaptors in your bed, a free towel ,the room is massive, large table, sink, a large locked suitcase cage under the bed, long mirror and a short mirror, clothes hooks, free breakfast (but that is normal in Europe) etc etc!! wow, this is a five star hostel.
Anyway I'm off to get something to eat, I haven't had much since I left Spain.

Love,

Jen

The diry Paris metro????
Don't you dare insult my hometown! Well after reflection it is definitely kinda dirty but hey it's part of its charm, right?

Anyways, I hope you have loads of fun in Paris. Oh and if you need advice from a parisian insider (aka me) don't be afraid to ask. If you wanna hang in a hip new neighbourhood I suggest mine. It's in the 3d/4th district around streets like rue de bretagne, rue charlot, rue vieille du temple, rue des francs bourgeois etc.
There are tons of amazing shops around there.

Anyhow, enjoy your stay in gai Paris hihihi
