I\'m a 22 year old Brit with a major passion for travel! I\'ve had the travel bug since I was 15 when I went to New Zealand with my Dad to do my work experience. Ended up travelling all over the country then stopping in Singapore and travelling round there too.
Since then I\'ve travelled all over Europe, including living for a year in Nice. I\'ve been all over France and to Egypt, Spain, North and South of Italy, Germany, Belgium and to several places in America. I\'ve also been back to New Zealand and am hoping to go to Oz next year.
I\'m just about to graduate uni with a degree in International Business and French. Currently, I work for a holiday company which helps to satisfy my craving for travel! Love sites like this where I can chat to people about travel and pick up more ideas for my next trips away!

A blog would certainly have been a much easier way to keep in touch with people than sending all those bloody emails to which I had to spend ages attaching all those pictures! So anyway, I figure it's never too late to start a blog and this way I can write about my year with the benefit of hindisght and can, therefore, offer a little advice to anyone about to travel to Nice or the surrounding region. I moved to Nice in August 2005 in the placement year of my UK based university course. I spent a year studying at a
