Well, the world has gone to shit, hasn’t it... But hey, look on the bright side, you can read more of my ramblings on my blog. So last time you’ve heard from us, we were living in London.

Yes, I did it again... I got on a plane and buggered off from Cambridge slap-bang in the middle of the exam period, just like I did last year. This time Aisling and I explored a remote part of Hvar island.
Read MoreHow to Escape Cambridge
Contrary to popular opinion, exam period is pretty darn long and you won't be able to productively sit in a library 24/7 for two whole months. Hell, a few days of travel might even help with that elusive productivity!
