    Amsterdam: Top tips for the ultimate ‘coffee and a sweet treat’ guide

    June 3, 2024 /

    By Augusta Arron, Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands If my time studying at Amsterdam this year has taught me anything it has been how much I love to explore cities… and pastries. Cafe’s offer the perfect means to do so, especially for students, providing hotspots for culture, community, food and some amazingly high-grade study sustenance (coffee).

    The Cafés on the Garonne

    February 17, 2022 /

    By Eva Kristinova (Sciences Po Toulouse, France) With the sun once again creeping into the lovely streets of Toulouse, it is the start of the café season! Not that these quintessential staples of French cultural life should ever complain of not being busy, since the Toulousains apparently don’t care in the least about the weather. Come rain, come shine, come snow, come sleet, the show must go on! And there is always something to be seen in a French café.

    Alice Logan, English and American Studies, University of Copenhagen   Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world and after exploring Copenhagen one coffee shop at a time, I can see why!  Below are a few of my absolute favourite coffee shops… 42Raw Pilestræde 32, 1112 København Tucked away down an unassuming side street just off Norreport station you’ll find 42Raw, one of Copenhagen’s plant based coffee shops.  Their expansive menu ranges from açai bowls and raw smoothies to lentil burgers and peanut butter milkshakes.  Try the raw chocolate chip cookies and the beetroot latte for a light snack or the vegan lasagnaee which is life changing.

    Still Sydney-siding

    April 8, 2016 /

    Bethan Rowsby, Geography, University of Sydney, Australia. Whilst many of my friends who are also studying abroad are coming to the end of their semester, mine has only just taken off. I’m currently in week 5, with 8 weeks to go and then exams so I will be finished by the 26th June! Or rather I would be, if I didn’t take a class that has a field trip in July to… Indonesia! Oh, the perks of being a Geographer. I am glad as it does mean that I am able to spend more time in Australia before I have to leave (plus it gives me more time for my…
