A rapid descent into madness: The week before we leave

Welcome to the ride that is a journey with Lisa!

I'll give you three guesses where we're going

Feel free to store your luggage wherever you like, it'll be lost in transit anyway. You'll be given one in flight cup of blank to enjoy with your plate of nonsense. Don't bother with the seatbelt, we couldn't afford real ones so those are Licorice tapes that click into sultana boxes we painted black with a permanent marker, they're just for show really. That concludes our introduction to the ride, keep your arms and legs wherever you want at all times, there's no flash photography permitted because we suck at getting photos right and there's no getting off the ride now. Ps- We're going to France in case you didn't know kgreatlet'sgo!

Argh! Less than a week before we leave for France (I use the term we to make you guys feel included... in reality it's just me going to France). With only two exams left before I finish my degree and, having just done my last performance of the play I was in, I figured it was time to set up a little space on the interwebs where I can dump all my crazy while I'm trying to get myself sorted out. This final week is a madhouse of coffee, no doz, falling asleep with a jacket over my head at uni at 3am, mangos and weetbix (I have nothing else in the house to eat), passports, tickets, suitcases (still unpacked) and cramming French into my study breaks. It's still far too surreal to imagine it's this Friday that I leave!

Where is the drug from Limitless in here??

It's sure to be a ridiculous adventure following the journey of a woman from exploring creative ways to get lost in airports, 15 fun things to do on an airplane, how to stumble your way through a French airport to living in France for a month mainly making up how to speak French as we go. I hope you'll all come along for the ride with me each step of the way :) It's great to have you here! So kick back with a glass of your respective favourite beverages, buckle up your licorice seatbelt and get ready to watch me flounder my way across the world to France for a month!
