London’s best cinemas for all you broke film-lovers – Delphine Martineau
London is an incredible city, for many reasons, and I am sure we can all agree on that.

Being in a relationship while studying abroad – Delphine Martineau
About a month after my friends and I left France to go to different countries for our year abroad, my two non-single girlfriends announced back-to-back that they had broken up with their boyfriends.

Feeling blue during your time abroad – Delphine Martineau
As the end of the semester approaches, I wanted to talk about feeling down during your time abroad.

Adapt and Overcome – Tiffany Maria Christopher-Ward
This is not only an important year for me; being my Year Abroad working for the British Council as an English Language Assistant in Andalusia, Spain: but it is also the year I make everything right.

Cliché or not, I have been in love with the idea of Italy since my teenage years. It has so much historical value, impeccable cuisine, and some of the most beautiful sights in the entire world, not to mention arguably the most romantic language of all.
