Howdy y’all!

I have great news: the transition to the new website is complete! I finally got the new domain name, and primped up the blog to make it cooler, yet still familiar to my readers’ eyes.

I apologize for the delay, but I’ve been busy having lots of European adventures that I can’t wait to tell you about in the new blog. Furthermore, I have some exciting news and upcoming trips:

• In less than 2 weeks I’ll embark on a 10-day road trip  from France to the Balkans! We’ll be picking up hitch-hikers, staying at hostels, eating for cheap, and I of course will be partying and shopping my way to Serbia: while telling you all about it!

• I’m moving in September… to… the CITY OF LIGHT! Yes! Paris will be my new home-base, and I’ll be blogging my way through Parisian life.

• And if that wasn’t enough: In a few months, I’ll be embarking on yet another trip, but this time, THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. I’ll be achieving a life-long dream of jumping on the Trans-Siberian.

See! I told you I had perfectly good reasons to be busybusybusy. But no fears: I will be devoting a lot of time to my new blog -and to new adventures of course- and I want you to come with!

Please visit it and let me know what you think: your opinion matters to me! You can send me a shout-out through Twitter, my Facebook page, or the ol’ fashioned way.

See y’all on the other side!

Things I Hate About France: Frosting (or lack thereof)

I believe in paying money to save myself time and effort. So that I can reinvest my saved time and effort on making more money to pay for more time and less effort.

The French don’t. And this is why they also don’t believe in ready-made frosting. So when I want to be a good girlfriend and bake my handsome French boyfriend a cake, I now have to consider the added time and effort that making my own frosting requires.

Good thing there are many French bakeries with ready-made cakes to solve this problem.

And good thing that my parents fulfill my bizarre requests for frosting, mayonnaise without mustard, Secret deodorant and quesadillas from Ruchi’s when they come to visit me once a year.

Still, the lack of grocery bought frosting, is just another thing I hate about France.

A girl can dream...
