Just moved to… Biarritz, France
The first week in my new home was spent scouting out surf spots, running routes and the best boulangerie to find a gâteau basque.

Weekends in Hossegor: A Frequent Escape
Ah Hossegor, j’adore. A place where year abroad paperwork and French university timetables were replaced by rolling waves and peaceful pine forests…
Mykonos On Film: Finding Peace in High Summer
Visiting this popular Greek island during the height of summer, I was not expecting to have the white stone streets and Aegean beaches all to myself. However, I also wasn’t expecting to see Little Venice on the verge of sinking beneath the swarm of tourists that surged from every street. Thank the Greek Gods for the Suzuki Jeep we rented, which allowed us to escape the crowds and explore the island’s hidden gems.
Third Year Abroad: Moving to France
From surfing in the Basque Country to soaking up some French culture (and wine) in nearby Toulouse and Bordeaux, it’s safe to say that I won’t be doing much studying this term…
Portugal on Film: Surfing in Peniche
Known for its world-class waves and beautiful beaches, Peniche was the perfect patch of Lisbon coastline for a group of 20-something year old dudes and dudettes frothing for a bit of pre-exam season sun and surf.
Photo Diary: PENICHE
Sun, surfing, sangria… An incredible week of surfing was had in Portugal with Exeter University Surf Club and Maximum Surf Camp.
Lefkada on Film: Blue Island Dreams
This lesser-known Ionian island is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With pristine shores, wild olive groves and wooded mountains, the untamed natural beauty is enough to make you feel a million miles from home.
Three Days Exploring Cinque Terre, Italy
Perched above one of the most dramatic coastlines in the world, these five medieval fishing villages add brilliant bursts of colour to the coast of the Italian Riviera.
Polaroid Diaries: Cinque Terre, Italy
I love the feeling of walking through a new place for the very first time. Your eyes dart this way and that, eagerly trying to take in every detail of this new and exciting part of the world. It’s hard to resist the urge to dig out my camera straight away, with my passport and luggage still in hand, but I try to take in my first impression of a place with my own eyes.
Polaroid Diaries: Lefkada, Greece
I love my polaroid camera. It’s easy to use, I can take it anywhere and for a point-and-shoot camera, the prints are of a pretty good quality. It accompanied me on my latest trip to the Greek island Lefakda, which I had never heard of before booking flights there a couple of months ago.
