Visiting my Brother (2015)
I first came to Montpellier way back in ~2015 to visit my brother who would occasionally come to Montpellier for work.
It’s the only place I knew i needed to come back to…. for some reason.
Learning French & Finding Love (2017)
After my travelling trip was over, I came to Montpellier as the final stop on my inter-rail trip.
I booked in three months at LSF and did a home-stay with a lovely lady called Monica.
By the end of the three months I fell in love with my teacher and finally won her over.
Living in Montpellier (2018-9)
After 3 months in London to earn some cash and then 4 months in Laval, France, for an internship, we moved to Montpellier and I continued my career working remotely.
We stayed with some friends for a while and finally found a nice flat down rue de l’universite.
Coming back to visit (2021+)
After a year in Montreal, Canada (mostly in lockdown) and going through a breakup, I came back to Montpellier to visit some old friends and signed up for the language school again to improve some French.
